When my group arrived in Cusco, we had a driver prepared to take us to our…

    we hiked the entire Inca Trial

    It´s hard to believe that we hiked the entire Inca Trial, but my friends and I did! With Ruben (Poncho) leading the trek, and Ronald following to make sure there were no stray hikers, we took on the challenge of the 49 kilometers. I was very impressed with Inca Trail Reservations ´ organization of the…

    The Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience

    The Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience; one that I will take with me for the rest of my life. The first thing you need to know about this trek is that it is an extremely demanding trek. You will need lots of warm clothes and will definitely need to acclimatize to the high altitude.…
