Where was the white lady ?

After 4 days walking on the Inca Trail, I can confess that I really don't regret my choice to did it, even if the price was quite expensive. Indeed the first day was a warm up and the two first sites are already amazing. The second was the hardest, but really not impossible.
The third day was the best ... Continue Reading

Chinese people in Peru

4 days, you will meet a lot of friends, and they have very good guild, the food also good, they will provide water after first day. There were not too many Chinese people, most of people from South America, so if you can speak some Spanish, it will be very well.
I lived with one person from Switzerland, and ... Continue Reading

The women in white

Hilton, el guía, fue muy amable y me espero cada vez que ... Continue Reading

4 dias passam rapido

Quando comecei essa aventura, acreditava ser mais fácil. Nāo imaginava que voltaria com bolhas no pė, dor no joelho, nem que os 10 km poderiam ser tāo longos e cansativos. Mas depois de quase 10.000 degraus subidos e descidos, mais de 2.000 m de altitude e falta de ar; os sítios arqueológicos compensaram todo o esforço.
Os lugares sāo ... Continue Reading

Trilha maravilha

Desde o princípio, estava com dúvidas se conseguiria fazer a trilha até fim. Fui para o primeiro dia depois de aproveitar a noite de Cusco (no Mamma Africa) até as 3h da manhã. Ainda assim, foi possível passar por este dia tranquilamente, mas não estava preparado para o segundo dia, este sim é só para os fortes. Mas os guias ... Continue Reading

Encontrando Pachamama

Devo dizer que achei que seria facil fazer uma trilha de 4 dias até Machu Picchu, talvez porque estivesse acostumado com trilhas brasileiras onde a maior parte do tempo estamos andando no plano ou em morros muito baixos comparado aos Andes, a verdade e que a Trilha se mostrou muito desafiadora e gracas ao excelente tratamento dos guias, a disposicao ...

Journey to Machu Picchu

I want to start by saying thanks to everyone that took part on organizing this amazing trip for our group. Juan Carlos is a really good tour guide. Walking the Inca Trail comes as a second nature to him. He has a vast amount of knowledge regarding the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. The way he carried himself, and patience ... Continue Reading

Blazing the Inca Trail

When I heard my brother was traveling to Peru to visit Machu Picchu, I knew I had to tag along. I had heard so many great things from people who had visited there before and had to see it for myself. This was my first time traveling on my own so I was a bit nervous about what kinds of ... Continue Reading

Better than I expected

Before signing up for this hike I had very little experience with hiking, so I was a bit nervous. I arrived to Cusco a few days early so that I could get used to the elevation, and got to explore around the city. Not only were the people friendly and welcoming, but the atmosphere and night life were amazing as ... Continue Reading

Turtles on parade

An amazing trip with an amazing team ! Victor had stories about the area, history, local flora and fauna and some good jokes. He kept us happy, safe, engaged, and entertained. The porter team was fantastic. We had the strongest "pumas" to carry the tents, tables, chairs, etc. so helpful and efficient, always polite. I've got huge respect for them. ... Continue Reading
