We visited a glacial lake, saw coffee plantations, hot springs, ruins, all of it! The tour guides were very informative and helpful and being the not-most outdoorsy people out there, it was wonderful to finish the day hiking and coming to ... Continue Reading

Overall the experience has been incredible! Our guides and porters have been exceptional.
The only complaint I have is with our orientation. Ronnie didn't explain that we had to be at the bus at an earlier time because of construction, so we ended up being late. He didn't explain that we should bring extra money in case of an ... Continue Reading

People say visiting Machu Picchu is the adventure of a lifetime and they're completely right. One day consisted of hiking across a mountain through snow, conquering the peak and then later that day we were in the middle of a jungle.

Der Salkantay-Trail war sehr eindrücklich! Von Schnee auf dem Pass über kuschliges Abendessen zu Sternenhimmel war alles dabei. Besonderes fordernd war das Baden im kalten Bergsee mit Gletscher im Hintergrund. Angehnem war dafür das Entspannen in den heissen Quellen. Auch sehr interessant war der Austausch mit Leuten aus aller Welt. Auch die Guides, die Küchencrew und die Transportertruppe war sehr ... Continue Reading

From day 1 I knew that the salkantay trek would be an adventure, from the very start I saw landscapes which I had never experienced in my life; large mountains with the peaks touching the clouds both sides of the valley.
The first night consisted of a fantastic meal made by the chefs, who travel where ... Continue Reading

Bathroom troubles

Beyond the amazing food, incredible views and the constant feeling of accomplishment I encountered a problem.
Most likely from brushing my teeth with tap water, I got a bad stomach. Although the guides could not offer me any medicine they kept an eye on me and made sure I was doing okay. They offered me food separate ... Continue Reading
