    Freezing and sweaty in one day.

    Our group of three started the trek full of energy. Everything was well arranged before hand while still in our home country, and as well on our first day. The breakfast at Mollepata was terrible. The first hike until the camp is easy going and shows nice fauna. The hike to the lake is very…

    Don’t get run over by a Porter

    First of all, it was a pleasure working with Inca Trail Reservations (ITR) on customizing my visit to Perú. While other agencies wanted to sell me a package, ITR worked with me on meeting my needs. Walking the Inca Trail in my mid-sixties was not an easy thing but it was worth every step of…

    Inca trail for Ever

    A trilha é emocionante! Paisagens muito bonitas. No primeiro dia a trilha é mais aberta, consequentemente com mais sol. O segundo dia é bem difícil, muita subida com escadas quando já não se tem fôlego por causa da altitude, e muita descida no final do dia exigindo muito dos joelhos e tornozelos. O terceiro dia…
