Forced to luck
You can not visit Peru without going to Machu Picchu. Or do you really want to tell your friends you didn't see the only place in South America they actually know? So you are kind of forced to go.
But sometimes, being forced to do something is not all that bad, and this is one of those occasions. Doing ... Continue Reading →

After half a day of walking in the sun, we arrived at our camp site for the first night. After settling and having a two course lunch it was time to climb the hillside in order to arrive ... Continue Reading →

King of Salkantay
The track was awesome, nature at its absolute best! The guide was very informative and although it was tough, the food offered the needed refueling.
The campsites were nice and clean and the provided equipment really helped to conquer the track. And just when it got hard on day 3 the hot springs offered some amazing time to relax ... Continue Reading →

Running on Empty
Had a fantastic time on the trek even though on day 2 (the hardest day) I had a virus and had to stop every 20 feet to get to to dead woman's pass - it was a great sense of achievement to make it.
Juan our guide was very patient encouraging me all the way up. By day 3 ... Continue Reading →

Making memories and making friends
My experience was great on the trip. There was four of us, plus our guide Jorge, chef Raul, Alejandro the horse man.
The four patrons of us came in pairs of two. We got along great and Jorge was like the nucleus of the group brining us together. We all hit it off great. Throughout the ... Continue Reading →
Hungover Hiking
Absolutely incredible adventure; without question the greatest thing I've ever done. The scenery, the history, the people we've met. It's been overwhelming how beautiful the Peruvian Andes are, and we got to journey right through their heart. Passing crystal-clear blue lagoons, glacier-covered mountains, rocky river beds and mountain outcrops, down to lush jungle; this was all within 2 hours.

Our entire team was world class, especially our tour guide, Jorge! He explained every sight we were seeing, from past to present. He brought artifacts with him in order to emphasize points and ideas. The actual trek ... Continue Reading →
