    Lost in coca

    Die Wanderung auf dem Salkantey teck war für mich wirklich ein tolles und einmaliges Erlebnis. Man lernt die atemberaubende Natur und die einheimischen Menschen auf eine ganz besondere und intensive Weise kennen. Dadurch, dass man beim Besteigen des salkanteypasses aber auch an seine persönlichen Grenzen stößt, kann man auch sich selbst noch mal ganz anders…

    The Salkantay Trail was a life changing experience. It was very challenging both mentally and physically, but that made the journey that much better. We experienced freezing cold glaciers, and a rainy jungle. We began with an exciting accent to around 4,000 meters to see a breathe taking view of a lake up in the…
