    I love Peru!!

    I loved my trek experience! The guides were super passionate and helpful throughout the trek and I really enjoyed all the services. I wish we\’d had a little more protein in our meals — I got hungry and didn\’t bring enough snacks from home. Also I wish the difference between the 5 day/4 day treks…
