Challenging at worst, but magical and enchanting at it's best. This would best describe my 4 day - 3 night Inca Trail experience. The hike itself did not hinder the determination and sheer thrill that the tour guides (and fellow hikers) brought to the whole experience.
Food was sumptuous and well prepared, staff attentive and accommodating, campsites mediocre, however ... Continue Reading

I love to challenge myself to a ... Continue Reading

The trip has been fantastic. The Salkantay trek is a much more challenging trek than I thought having climbed Kilimanjaro and the Atlas Mountains. I assumed that it would not be as hard and I wish I had trained more as the difference here is that you start the trek at a higher altitude than the others and so the ... Continue Reading
