One foot in front of the other
When my boyfriend and I first booked our trip to Peru we knew we wanted to do the 4 day Inca Trail trek… what we didn\’t know is that you need to book 2-4 months in advance. When I found out I called my boyfriend and he booked us a trek within the hour. Although…

The best memories are something that you can proudly wear
Even saying good stuff about a 4 day tour in the middle of the jungle, walking 6 to 8 hours a day in a typical Inca\’s path, drinking the same hot water with tea, powder chocolate or milk, using toilets that doesn\’t deserve this appellation, and sleeping in a cold tent. Anyway, this is more…

I survived
I was a bit nervous before the adventure, think it was because of my new trekking shoes and too much partying in Cusco… But when the day arrived I was so excited ! We started with the \”lazy day\”, then the second day was coming up, the hardest one. Uphill almost all the way and…

Da hike !
I was impressed from start to finish ! The organization from the first briefing was extraordinary and informative. From there the food proved to be surprisingly excellent (given the conditions). Going forward all the information provided at each archaeological site was in depth and all questions were answered with amazing detail ! Overall from start…
