Outstanding Views

Reflecting back on the trek: great value for the price paid, a couple of unexpected glitches but overall a great experience! The fantastic thing about a guided tour, and this was my first, was the guide pointing out things that would normally be missed when solo-hiking: a flower along the trail, an edible fruit, the Incan history of the trail ...

Hardest thing you will accomplish

Go in with an open mind and realize this may be the hardest thing you have ever accomplished. I thought I was in pretty good shape, running and doing stair climbing. However, with the altitutide and the trek itself it kicked my butt.
I was pleasantly surprised at the ease at arriving into Cusco and being picked up ... Continue Reading

Salkantay trek

I thoroughly recommend the 5 day Salkantay Trek. I'm a 55 year old retired teacher, and I thought it might be a little tough for me. I did the trip with my daughter, and we were part of a group of 4 people.
We chose this trip as it was available and we thought it might be a ... Continue Reading

Up the stairs, down the stairs

To start of with: I haven´t done anything like the Inka-Trail before. 4 Days of early bed times, a lot of stairs and great fun.
One of the things I found the best was an astonishing nature. You go through a highland-jungle which has especially in the rainy season with the fogs a mystic touch. The food on ... Continue Reading

The Inca Trail: An Experience worth the effort!

The Inca Trail was a great experience for me in general even though it had its ups and downs. The big downside was the altitude sickness that I got on the second day when climbing the never ending staircases of Dead Woman´s Pass. Aside from that, powering through was definitely worth it, not only for Machu Picchu itself but also ... Continue Reading
