Barely survived!!

What a beautiful country! The glaciers are by far the shining point on this trek, completely worth the extreme hiking. I did get sick (elevation? I took the medicine) midway through the hike which dampened things a bit. However, for my first trip out of the United States I still think this was a good choice. The Hiking is a bit extreme for a vacation, but otherwise not much to complain about. Paolo and Marco took great care of us and helped to accommodate those of us who got ill. We had perfect weather in early May. Bring probiotics and hand soap!
