Challenging vacation
We had Ronnie and Jimmy for our Salkantay hike. The trek was more challenging than expected. The first to days had a lot of uphill climbing and the altitude was killer. That being said I couldn\’t have asked for better or more attentive guides. They were always right there with words of encouragement, hot tea…

Increible aventura

La altura hace estragos en algunos, en…

Into the Peruvian Wild
Within 36 hours of arriving in Cusco, my brother and I departed for the Salkantay Trek, leaving ourselves little time to acclimatize to the altitude. Sure enough, our first day was a challenge – constantly short of breath, we took many breaks as we made our way to 4000 meters in altitude. This left us…

Salkantay Trek Adventures
The Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience. We began our trek at 3000m above sea level and made our way up to 4500m above sea level. That was a challenging part of the hike, but our tour guide, Marco, provided a lot of assistance on ascent. Once we reached the 4500m altitude level, we made…

Inca trail
The overall organization was very well. The tour guides and porters were all nice to us. The food has a variety and is delicious. The only thing is that it seems that we were one of the few that camped at a location that was farther away than everyone else on the last day, which…
