    Salkantay adventure

    I had a great time doing the Salkantay trek. The trip was challenging. Right now my feet and knee really hurt. We went up to 4600 meters high with nice views. The height brought a challenging aspect to the hike. I am in good shape but had difficulties with the altitude. The paths are beautiful…

After that, you descend into the jungle climate and your surroundings take a 180. You hike through lush forests full of different plants and flowers with hummingbirds all around. Highly recommend, very…

    Take a wander through the clouds

    My experience on the Salkantay tour was incredible ! I highly recommend it to anyone. The trail takes us through a variety of geological landscapes and terrain. We started in the alpine, a wide open valley surrounded by the biggest mountains I\’ve ever seen (and I\’m from the Canadian Rockies !) The Salkantay range is…
