Trek highlights
We spent five days on the Salkantay tour. We started day one with flowers and greenery. After a short trek we reached base camp and had tents ready and a meal already prepared for us. We left our bags and trekked up a steep hill to find a stunning lake below a snowy mountain. This was possibly my favorite spot ... Continue Reading →
What wonderful land the God is given to the Peruvian
We started the best part of the journey by train. Poroy was our early starting point. The view was fantastic. In just a short period time, we went through from the vast Inca farm fields into the majestic Inca mountains region. We saw many beautiful streams, rivers, and snow capped glaciers.
The Andean music in the train accompany all ... Continue Reading →
We like to hike here everyday
We had a great hiking experience with our hiking guide in the Machu Picchu mountain trails. His knowledge of the mountain and Inca culture was impressive. We saw double rainbows along the trail. Many beautiful birds sing a song and flying "dancing" around us. Hundreds of many different flowers were extending their beautiful slim waists and arms waving to us, ... Continue Reading →

Machu pichu is for tourists !
The best is obviously the trek itself ! You walk for 4 days in tough conditions but it's clearly worth it. The highlights are the second and third days which are the toughest ones as you feel that you push your limits a little.
I would have hated Machu Picchu without the trek as it is well too touristy ... Continue Reading →

Inca Trail… not sure I would still be married
This trip has been on my bucket list for a long time. My wife of a year and I decided to come for our anniversary. Being from Florida (elevation sea level), we were not prepared for the altitude. The second day of the hike was the toughest for us as we approached the summit of Dead Woman's Pass. Each step ... Continue Reading →
