High altitude knockout
This was a really great experience! When I found the trek online I didn\’t expect it to be any challenge at all. I had been on a few treks but all on lower altitudes. It really surprised me on the first day, how difficult it turned out and how much focus and energy you needed…

Calves of steel
The most beautiful place I\’ve ever seen. When you see photos on the internet it is a thousand times more amazing in person. It was so rewarding and physically challenging but our guides Jimmy and Ronny were so wonderful and they made sure everyone was taken care of the entire time. We had good meals…

Happy family
We drove in a bus from Cusco to a village/place called Mollepata. We started the trek from there and walked up to a lake close to a high mountain to feel the altitude. The altitude up there was 4100 meters above sea level. After that, we went down back where we started for a lunch.…

Amazing Peru Adventure
My wife and I did the 5-day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. It was more difficult… and more rewarding… than we imagined. The first two days were especially tough with the uphill hike and freezing temperatures. The porters, cooks, and guides did a fantastic job keeping everyone safe, warm, and entertained. Ronny and Jimmy were…
