How does an unlikely trekker, never knowingly seen without mascara, cope along a remote Inca Trail to Machu Picchu? Author Sharon McKee loves exploring new places but is not a fan of camping, preferring home comforts like hot running water, a bed and toilets. After being diagnosed with breast cancer though, in a 'moment of madness', she signs up to do a charity trek. The adventure in the Andes turns out to be a challenge in more ways than one. From pre trip worries, such as coping in an all-female group of 15 strangers to developing an obsession with toilets, Sharon describes her personal experience of this once-in-a-lifetime trip. On Foot to Machu Picchu aims to give an insight into what undertaking this kind of challenge is really like, especially for a somewhat inexperienced trekker, and discovering the magic of Machu Picchu and the Incas.
