    Swimming^2

    Der Salkantay -Trail war sehr eindrücklich! Von Schnee auf dem Pass über kuschliges Abendessen zu Sternenhimmel war alles dabei. Besonderes fordernd war das Baden im kalten Bergsee mit Gletscher im Hintergrund. Angehnem war dafür das Entspannen in den heissen Quellen. Auch sehr interessant war der Austausch mit Leuten aus aller Welt. Auch die Guides, die…

    Accomplishment

    From day 1 I knew that the Salkantay trek would be an adventure, from the very start I saw landscapes which I had never experienced in my life; large mountains with the peaks touching the clouds both sides of the valley. The first night consisted of a fantastic meal made by the chefs, who travel…

We spent a long time viewing the inca site called Patallacta. This site was my favourite of the whole trip. The walking wasn\’t too challenging on…

    Inca Kong

    I had an amazing trip from km82 to Machupicchu. Even though some parts were harder than my head and body would have preferred and the weather did not show us any mercy. It is all forgotten now that I am sitting down in Aguas Caliente, in a soft sofa with an ice cold pisco sour.…

    7 fab princesses on MP-hike ;)

    This has been a great and a personal challenge. The trail itself was hard but absolutely do-able. The weather wasn\’t on our side for this trip, but I think we did good. Shame we had no view from the Sun Gate when got there, but luckily the weather got better :). Both our guides had…
