Great Salkantay trek
Over this trip we spent 3 days in a tent, had 15 meals, and all the nights were great and the food was delicious. Every morning we got a wake-up call and a warm cup of coca leaf tea. We really appreciated all of it. The guides were amazing. We had Carlos and Martin who…

A trail of two halves
I was worried when I first arrived for the Inca Trail as I was feeling unwell and had put far too much in my bag! But after struggling through the first day, barely lifting my eyes from the path in front of me, everything changed. The walk mirrored how I felt. Just as my health…

An experience like none other
Most incredible experience of my life. Our guide, Manuel, was tremendously engaging, entertaining and helpful. He not only provided expert guidance but encouraged us throughout the whole trek. The service the porters provided us was fantastic – they took all the hard work out of it (other than climbing of course). I will remember this…
