Inca Trail: A First Time Hiker’s Thoughts
I must admit I was very worried and nervous before this trip. I\’ve never been a hiker and have asthma… not the best combination for the Inca Trail . But this trip has been on my husband\’s bucket list for as long as he can remember so I couldn\’t not go. Though the 3.5 days…

Machu Picchu surprise

During the trek,…

Old lady does the Inca Trail
My daughter convinced me to do the 4 day 3 night trail. I didn\’t think I could do it at the age of 62. Inca Trail Reservations really looked after me . I didn\’t feel rushed even when it was really hard and the climb got really steep. The chef and porters were amazing. My…
