Our group was composed of 2 guides, and 9 tourists (besides the 10 or so porters who carried all of the tents, food, and equipment).
There were only two or three small tunnels along the 4 day, 3-night trip.
The trails were incredible, especially when you consider that they were first made hundreds of years ago by people who didn't have metal tools.
Of course, the highlight of the trip was Machu Picchu.
I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did. I mean, I'd seen several television shows on the site, so I thought it was going to be boring, but there is a huge difference between seeing it and being among the walls.
We had a speech about the site, then we were free to wander around on our own.
Machu Piccho has a visitor center, that has a bus that goes to a small down called Aguas Calientes. From there we took a long train ride to another town, and then a shuttle back to Cuzco.
I had a blast, and I would totally do this trip again.
