Our journey through horse poop and snow

Coming into the first day of this trip (during dry season) I never expected it to snow.
Everyone told me that the second day would be the hardest but climbing that mountain in what felt like a blizzard was the hardest thing I've ever done.
I wanted to give up multiple times but there was no greater feeling ... Continue Reading

The tale of Jonathan Choi

When I began this trek, I believed that I was a man amongst boys with my athletic and mental prowess.
I did absolutely no training except running in video games and from girls in my dreams. I arrived in Cusco with my head held high and the thinner air in my lungs ready to tackle the small peak ... Continue Reading

Every part of the trek was interesting and the scenery was breathtaking. The guides were brilliant and were more like friends than guides. We all had so much fun, especially on the third night with the pisco sours ... Continue Reading

As a result, we booked hate more difficult Salkantay trek which turned out to be the better decision in our minds. Although, the trek was very physically demanding, ... Continue Reading
