Salkantay 4 days / 3 nights

I enjoyed seeing: the glacier, the condors, and the Inca monuments. Quite seriously, those are easily the best part of the trip.
The hikes are difficult on your knees, and be careful to apply lots of sunscreen and mosquito spray. You will definitely need it in the humid jungle environment.
I had a good experience with both my ... Continue Reading

Salkantay Trail 4d/3n

Note: Alternate titles include "The Raultimate Adventure" and "No, I seriously want more Lomo Saltado"

The glacier is gorgeous and you get beautiful views of it all morning. The hike to the lagoon on the first day is a great warm-up ... Continue Reading
