5 day 4 night trek
The entire thing was wonderful. It was incredible to see everything and \”earn\” your way to Machu Picchu!. The trek was physically very hard – even after acclimating the height difference on the trek was very taxing. The food was phenomenal – they took food restrictions seriously and everything was fresh and great. The trout…

Over 3000 Couches to Kitchens to the Summit
The five day, four night hike through the Andes to get up to Salcantay and eventually Machu Picchu was an amazing experience. After the initial hike on day one you have the chance to take a dip in a glacial lake, which is a great shock to the system and to cool your muscles. They…
