    Pack well and all is well

    The 4 day Inca Trail hike was an amazing adventure. We saw many wonderful sites and landscapes. Please do yourself a favor and pack well.

Although the trek involved sweaty, stinky feet and interesting toilet facilities it was all worth while. The food made by the kitchen staff was delicious, and our guides Paul and…
