I had never been to the mountains before beginning the Salkantay trek. I had know idea that I was about to embark on the Journey of a lifetime!. Through the hiking, camping, and group comraderee, this Trek challenged me on every level. I developer a new appreciation for exploring nature and separating myself from modern luxuries and Technology. I pushed past my comfort zone and learned that I am able to endure huge physical challenges- even hiking to the summit of a 15000 foot mountain!. I gained so much from this experience and saw many beautiful things along the way. I cannot recommend the Salkantay Trek enough!
