    Inca stinker

    Starting off at mile marker 82 we set about the first days trekking which was \”Inca Flat\” which basically means up and down for a while. Camp on the first night was pretty cool as we went tarantula hunting around the campsite, we found a few around the walls. The second day was the hardest…

    Easy Peasy

    Not ;) Hiking this incredible mountain has been a dream of mine ever since my daughter hiked it eight years ago. This year my husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and Darryl (my husband) surprised me with a trip to Peru where we could experience the majesty of the Andes together. I must…

    Proud of myself

    Well, I can definitely say that it was an adventure. The Inca Trail was both, more and less difficult than I expected. It was less difficult in the sense that, before the trek, I honestly was not sure if I would make it. I have asthma and have never been hiking at this kind of…

    Good job, “excellente”

    I have wanted to see Machu Picchu for so many years and decided this was the year to make it happen. By happy coincidence we were matched to Inca Trail Reservations who went above and beyond what we hoped for. From the briefing through to the final lunch together the service has been outstanding. I…

    Really pretty sites
