High Altitude Is a Real Thing

The Salkantay trek is something I heard about from my brother and some friends. I live in the mountains yet didn\’t realize how intense this would be. I had trouble with the altitude which was discouraging but luckily our guides and group were awesome, fun, funny and super encouraging and I felt supported the entire time. This makes a big big difference when you\’re at 12,000-15,000 feet. I had so much fun and made new friends and felt very challenged!. I can\’t think of a better way to experience the Peruvian Andes, Peruvian jungle, and learn about the amazing inca people. Muchas gracias !! -Sarita.
