Squatting is tough

The views along the trail were beyond words, the trek was challenging yet rewarding, the food provided at camp was the best that I experienced in Peru and the first view of Machu Picchu through ... Continue Reading

I did not fall off the mountain

Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu has been a dream of mine for the last several years, particularly as the number of people entering each day has been limited. Our group booked our trip approximately seven months in advance and were pleased to find that we could book both the hike and Huayna Picchu.
Fast forward to November ... Continue Reading

I survived… and learned about the Incas along the way !

Was very scared about the adventure beforehand. Very happy that I was physically able to complete the adventure. Tour guide and porters were very helpful and great. The Incas were truly innovative people. The food was amazing on this tour.
Day three was by far the hardest for me because I was so tired by then. But, I am ... Continue Reading

I would do it again just for the food

On day one, I learned that my American definition of flat and the Incan definition of flat were two very different things. After trekking for several hours, our group made it up to the first camp site where we were served the best meal I had ever had until that point in Peru. Seriously.
Day two brought the infamous ... Continue Reading

Yummy food at 4200m elevation

I hiked the Inca trail at the beginning of November and it has been a great experience. The trek itself is easy-medium difficulty, lots of steps up and down on the second and third day but it is all worth it. It is great to see the ruins and to listen the history from the guide.
Above all the ... Continue Reading

Meeting lord Apu on the Salkantay trek

I signed up for an adventure and I got it ! I had become bored and complacent with my cushy life in LA. I had writer's block and I knew the only way to cure it, was to get off my lazy butt and do something awe inspiring. And, although I had my trepidations, (I almost ended canceling the trip) ...
