After our 2 hour bus ride to the starting point we were finally off. Carlos took us on our first "short cut" of the hike. The so called short meant straight up the mountain.

Het was een geweldige Trail met veel overweldigende uitzichten. De organisatie was vriendelijk en gaf ons voldoende tijd vragen te stellen en gedurende de trek fotos ... Continue Reading
I started the 5 day 4 night Salkantay trek with no idea what to expect. Day one was an easier hike but a chilly night. Day 2 was an intense 9 hour day of hiking steep uphills and downhills. Days 3 and 4, the scenery changed and the uphills and downhills became easier.
I'll always remember the beautiful ... Continue Reading
