First hiking ever
This was my first hiking trip ever. I didn\’t know what to expect and didn\’t know how to prepare myself. Arriving to Cusco and the high altitude was hard. Unfortunately we just had a couple of hours to adapt. The first day was soft. We had a great day to enjoy hiking and get to…

Underestimated
Train, train and train ! I totally took this trek for granted. I am not sure why I was not warned properly from the people I know that have done this trek. However it has turned out to be a thrill and a huge sense of accomplishment. The combination of relief of completion and the…

The king and Ronnie deliver
Had always heard about Machu Picchu as an amazing place to go but did not want to go unless I went with the right group. Was fortunate to tag on with a group of five really cool dudes at the last minute and the trip was on ! Our fearless leader Wayne planned the trip…

Memorable trip
It was an absolutely mind-blowing day. We started off in Cusco early in the morning; the 1.5 hour train ride through a very rural town was very memorable, especially with special open windows on the ceiling. The 6 hour hike itself, I\’m not going to lie, was not easy. But the beautiful scenery of Inca…

Gorgeous trail
To begin with, the morning train to Aguas Calientes with see-through windows on the ceiling allowed us to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the way to Aguas Calientes. My daughter and I were a little worried about the weather but contrary to our expectations, a bit of rain and fog made the scenery going up…

A cada sÃtio arqueológico alcançado, a cada nova montanha avistada percebe-se que todo o esforço vale a pena. O primeiro dia na…

The Incas Be-Trail
Well, it was the most awesome thing I did until today but I wanted to challenge myself with something great and difficult to test my strength, resistance and my will to do something. So these four days were hard, because of the fast change of the weather, the heavy change of inclination of the mountains…

A long way down
The long road to Machu Picchu was intense and painful. My back hurts, my feet are numb. All my clothes are wet and dirty, and the one thing that I desire most right now is a hot shower that might pour away all that sweat from my body. Was it worth it ? Totally !…

Sacred place
I was very excited and looking forward to the trail the days before we finally took off. I was ready for an adventure ! The first day we started with a very nice \”going for a walk\” hiking level, beautiful views, ruins and landscape, no rain and not even too long, but the second day…
