Tour guide of the century
You learn very quick whether or not the altitude is going to affect you. Unfortunately, i did not have the chance to stay a few days in cusco before hand.
That probably would have helped tremendously. Within minutes of starting our first day i found myself gasping for air. In no way do i think of myself as ... Continue Reading →
Mountain fun

A little bit of everything!
Absolutely amazing experience. I couldn't recommend this tour more highly! As far as the trek: it's a fairly difficult hike given the elevation, but every step is worth it.
You get a bit of everything. High and dry landscape, huge snow covered mountains looming over you, cloud forest, flowers, birds, and of course, Machu Picchu! As far as ... Continue Reading →

Macho pikachu (Machu Picchu)
Having booked myself on to the Salkantay with inca trail reservations I had no idea what to expect and was flying blind.
Now, at the end of the Salkantay hike with only Machu Picchu remaining I cam reflect on how much has been packed into the 4 days of trekking. The Salkantay trek showcases the huge variety of ... Continue Reading →
