This was one of the most challenging activities I\’ve ever done. Day one and three were challenging but didn\’t come close to day 2. I experienced some altitude symptoms and had huge support from Manuel and the family I climbed with. I got to know my group very well and can definitely say that I gained some new close friends on this trip. As well as being the most challenging activity I\’ve done, it was also the most rewarding. Summiting on day 2 and reaching Machu Picchu on day 4 were two of the most rewarding moments in my life. What an amazing experience!
