For the 50 and older crowd, this is a long, arduous trek. It is a wonderful experience and a great opportunity to test your fitness. Our trek totaled 42 miles, and was a great experience. The terrain was quite varied from alpine meadows to the jungles. Water was everywhere including great waterfalls and a glacial lake.
The peak elevation ... Continue Reading
Coming into the trek having never hiked before, you could say that I bit off a little more than I could chew. The first day was one of the easiest, and yet I found quite a bit of difficulty doing it. From then onward though I was able to accommodate my needs appropriately, and the guides were very pleasant in ... Continue Reading

We highly recommend this memorable adventure across the Salkantay pass and through the high jungle to the impressive approach to Machu Picchu ! This trek features remarkably diverse landscapes, from cold high glacial passes to warm humid jungle trails. What a perfect way to see the ancient land of the Inca.

The trip was great ! Of course the highlight of the trip was arriving in Machu Picchu. It is truly spectacular, and not something you will ever forget, but you have amazing views the whole hike. You are hiking with towering mountains on all side most of the way. The sweat and hard work is so worth it when you ... Continue Reading
I got on the Inca Trail not really knowing what to expect. We've been picked up early in the morning to start the trail. The following days we have experienced a one time adventure. Accompanied by a caring but also easy going guide we went to our limits climbing the Death Woman's pass, we have passed many astonishing ruins and ... Continue Reading
Crossing the bridge the adventure started. A good night sleep after a wonderful first meal by our cook team. Up and up, step by step, that was the challenge ! But together with the team we made it. Then down down down, again step by step. The magnificent weather and view made it all a lot easier.
Every lunch ... Continue Reading
When I first learned about Machu Picchu, I was in 3rd grade and it was just another magical place that my history book had brought to my attention. I really had no expectations, other than the normal sentiments a new place would bring. When the morning of my family's adventure came to be a reality, Juan Carlos met us at ... Continue Reading
What an incredible adventure ! The entire trip (Salkantay 4 day trek) was a whirlwind from start to finish. As I am not an avid hiker nor an athlete in any means, I was definitely scared for the trek but thank god I had Hilton, Juan Carlos, and Marcos as tour guides !
From the start they made sure ... Continue Reading
Starting out the trek, I went in with no expectations. Juan Carlos picked us up from the hotel, and from the beginning, we were all in a great mood, joking around and laughing. I slept for most of the bus ride so I can't comment on that. Starting in Challacancha, I was a bit apprehensive, not knowing whether or not ... Continue Reading

Well, where do I start? I'm traveling the world for 14 months and my last stop in South America was Machu Picchu. My Machu Picchu experience was nothing short of amazing - something I will always remember, especially getting the chance to do it with my Paps. From trekking around 75 km, to climbing mountains reaching an altitude of 4650 ... Continue Reading
