Trek

Trek was great! The first couple of days were hard, but doable if you're relatively in shape and the guides were very encouraging. It was awesome to meet everyone in your group from all over the world too!
The food was very good and we got to try Peruvian dishes and there were also American/European style dishes. And ... Continue Reading

Amazing Adventure

We had an amazing time on the Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu. It was definitely a challenge of both the physical and mental kind, but the end result once you reach the top of the summit on day 2, and again once you finally reach Machu Picchu are indescribable. Honestly I was initially a little nervous before starting. I ... Continue Reading

I can’t believe we did it!

I came into the trip thinking that it wouldn't be as difficult as it was, but it was really challenging! I am thankful for such a great group of people who were so helpful and patient with my altitude sickness! I am thankful also for Manuel, our tour guide who was encouraging throughout the whole trip.
It was ... Continue Reading

Inca Trail 4 days & 3 nights

I really enjoyed the trip, especially the different landscapes, like nice valleys with rivers, the high-jungle and the dry highlands with only rocks and grass. I like the views from the higher points of the trek, you can see green hills and behind the white mountain peeks.
I wondered about the porters, because they had to carry such ... Continue Reading

Lito’s adventure

The Salkantay tour was a great tour! We have been through jungles and over high mountains, with an experience guide, which told a lot of stories (some of them even true), we experienced a lot and became a great group of people.
The best parts of our tour probably was either the beautiful lake we visited on the ... Continue Reading

Tha Saga of Salkantay

The Saga started with an early bus ride to a small town with a forgettable name. After our lunch there, we started the serious business: walking. The first day wasn't too bad, all though we still felt the vail of altitude on our lungs. After we got to the first camp, we went to bathe in a lake cold as ... Continue Reading

Carlos king of the mountains

I have just completed the four day, three night Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. It was a great challenge and an amazing experience that I will always remember. Although it was hard work at times, particularly when suffering with altitude sickness, the sight of Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate on the morning of the last day made it all ... Continue Reading
