Awesome trek
I had a blast on this trip! The hiking was fantastic and the sights were unbelievable. The first day was short but fun, and the optional hike up to the lake was completely worth it. The second day was one of the most challenging, but rewarding, days of my life. Reaching 4600 m at the…

The Four Musketeers
Our trip on the Salkantay trek far exceeded my expectations.

Our guide was well informed, spoke great English, and went above…

Superação do sedentário
Para mim o caminho Inca foi uma escolha por impulso via um convicted de um casal de amigos. Não Swabia expat amente o que me esperava. O primeiro dia foi um belo passion em um camino de terra com album as rochas laden do o belÃssimo Rio Urubamba. As paisagens exam fantásticas e a caminhada…
