    Hot, dirt, tired, accomplished !

    I went into this trip not knowing what to expect from the trail. I can safely say that this adventure was physically challenging, exhausting, dirty, mentally trying, and totally amazing. I pushed myself to climb stairs for 5 straight hours, and walk down steep stairs cloaked in clouds, and had a great time doing it.…

    Eloychambo

    This has been a great experience. I have never experienced anything like this adventure. It challenged me physically and mentally however I overcame it. I am really proud of the group and myself for taking on this challenge. While our peers were on some beach during spring break we were hiking treacherous paths. We completed…

    Queen of the mountain

He started off the tour by introducing himself and Ronny and making sure we all understood as a group that we are a family. They made sure to encourage us throughout the trail and always gave high-fives !…

    Accidental trip

    The hike to Machu Picchu was difficult, but I could not be happier that I finished the hike. We ended up doing the hike in three days instead of four due to conditions at the camp site, which made the accomplishment even more great. I thought that I would be huffing and puffing the entire…

    The wonderful adventure

    When I knew I was leaving for Peru for the Inca Trail , I started watching YouTube to get acquainted with what I was about to do. However, none of that prepared me for the real deal. I had never experienced nature at her entire beauty. Everything was wonderful and everyone was helpful along the…

    The experience of my life

    \”You\’ve come a long way baby\” This specific advertising gimmick of the Virginia Slims cigarette reminds me of my adventure through the magnificent Andes mountains. It was my life dream to make this trip and it finally came into fruition. It may be my last time that I can undertake such a challenging trip, but…
