    This isn’t glamping.

    A friend invited me on this adventure. I\’ll be honest: I did very little research, preparation or training. I had very few expectations, except the email said we would be woken each morning with tea in our tents. What wasn\’t mentioned is that the tea would come between 3 and 5 in the morning. It…

    This trail doesn’t mess around!

    when researching which Macchu Picchu trail company to use most people just recommended the company they used, but they had nothing to compare it to. I would say that the important things are: reasonably sized group, led by a knowledgable Incan guide, and good food! I experienced all three on my trek! Juan Carlos was…

    Stalen kuiten na een pittige tocht

    Zonder goede voorbereiding, maar met een normale basisconditie ging ik een beetje voorzichtig van start. De Inca Trail staat natuurlijk bekend om de enorme hoogte- en kilometers die je aflegt. Maar het was prima te doen. Dag 2 klim je veel en dag 3 gaan je bovenbenen eraan door de vele meters die je naar…

    Lekkere Trek

    De trail kan ik iedereen aanbevelen. De route is fantastisch, met de meest mooie uitzichten, prachtige historische ruines die langs de route liggen en uitdagende stukken van de trail zelf. De eerste etappe kun je lekker inkomen met niet al te veel klimwerk. De tweede etappe is zwaar, door de hoogte en veel klimmen. De…

The trip itself was spectacular, everything from the views to the challenge itself, but also the guides were very encouraging in helping us find the motivation…
