    The ‘multiculture’ of our group

    I had an amazing time on the trip. From the longest, most strenuous day of hiking of my life to shot gunning a beer at the highest elevation I have ever been to never understanding how the game \”mafia\” worked to playing football and beating Paul\’s team in a great match where I could barely…

Paul made the experience unforgettable, not that Pachamama doesn\’t do this herself, but Paul made it. His knowledge was delivered with passion and his humor was tolerable.…

Standing on top of that hill, over-viewing the prominent, lost Inca city of Machu Picchu, no words were needed to…

    Woho

    The Inca trek was amazing ! Even though it was pretty hard I really enjoyed the trip. The first day was easy, which was really good. I\’m not really a hiker, and therefore I really needed a easy start. I didn\’t have the proper equipment, which was a bit challenging. But I got a lot…
