I had heard about this trek from a friend of mine who had done this trip several years ago. She really enjoyed the Salkantay trek and highly recommended Inca Trail Reservations / Salkantay.Org. We picked the 8 day package and were helped online and by phone by Mabel who got us lined up very efficiently.

My first trip to Peru was epic. Cuzco was awesome; a bit of culture mixed with a ton of charm. We walked around in the friendly streets seeking out new things for our senses, colors and textures sweet smells and sounds of happy people everywhere. After a few days of acclimating to thin but clean and refreshing mountain air we ... Continue Reading →

Bonjour, I hiked this with mon Cherie from France. The "comida" was an experience par excellance, although we spent more money on potable water than on cooked snails, soufflé and commemorative t-shirts combined.
Our group was nice and petit, which was a distinct positive given that after 4 days sleeping in the Horseshit Field of Dreams and encountering more ... Continue Reading →

Leave all hope for a solitary walk through the jungles and ancient ruins in whatever Belgian university cafe you first planned this trip in. It was arduous but not incredibly so; I saw a grown man hike for 5 days wearing ball-tight skinny jeans just large enough for his "equipment" and a pack of Lucky Strike Menthols.

Sleeping bags. Hiking boots. Tents. No showers. If these are things you aren't used to then this is probably not the trek for you. I have never slept in a sleeping bag and have never not showered for four days but the trek on the Salkantay trail was one of the most rewarding adventures that I have ever been on. ...

I had a really truly wonderful time on the Inca Trail finishing in Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Peru. I found walking uphill on millions, millions and millions of steps so hard, but the beautiful and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, vegetation and mountains meant that every single second was worth it in the end !
It was a shame ... Continue Reading →

Had an amazing time on the Inca Trail. The group was fun (and nice and small) and our guide, Lizandro, was great value and provided lots of jokes. The food was incredible and the porters worked incredibly hard for our benefit. I really enjoyed the route and the challenge provided by the hills, especially on the second day.
