    A Great Adventure

    Do not get it twisted; the Inka Trail is hard. We had both novice and pro backpackers in our group and it was hard for us all. But all the fun comes because of our guides, porters and cooks. Our porters carried more than any of us could and with a smile as they ran…

    This trip was my first major trip out of the USA and it was a blast! It all started out with the girls in the office, Fanny and Mabel, answering all the questions my group and I had. They set up the flights to and from Cusco to match up well with our flights in…

The warm chocolate when waking up in the mornings and dancing and solving riddles in the evenings over the amazing meals (with pie on the last day!!) made the whole trail an unforgettable and amazing experience!. But also when the trail was harder or we…

    One legged adventure

  • This girly girl made it!

    This was truly a once in a lifetime experience! From the start, the orientation was so informative! Juan Carlos (our guide) broke down the entire trek so we knew what to expect. It took a lot of the jitters away. During the adventure, we were treated like royalty with five star meals and an attention…
