In what can only be described as mesmerizing Incan magic, the porters watching over us during our trek along this ancient path were able to produce some of the most delicious food! Among that food was jello!
Now, anyone who's made jello will know that it takes time and a cooling mechanism in order to get the jello to set. How these guys did it when we were packing up and moving to a new location every day and had no electricity is beyond me. But then, they also did the trail in half the time it took us to do it, carrying our bags for us and setting up our tents and waking us at the crack of dawn with the welcome call, "Coca té, señoritas, coca té!"
Believe you me, this was not your grand-dad's Inca trail trek. Eat your heart out, Hiram Bingham III!
