  • Pedro says: Vamos

    If you plan on going to Machupicchu, be sure to go on the four day tour. Hiking is just as epic an experience as Machupicchu itself. Even more, actually. The Inka trail is the most beautiful scenery imaginable, and though the hike is brutal at times going up and down…and up up up for hours,…
