It was a lot of hard work, but It was great. Every body was encouraging and It was a great experience to be with such motivating people. The guides and porters were all very kind and great people to go on this trip with. I wasn\’t as prepared for the long days as i thought i would be, but that didnt take away from a great experience. The group of hikers were also great to get to know along the way. Our Guide, Abby, was encouraging, supportive, and very knowledgable along the way. The obvious beauty of Machu Picchu was well worth the hike.
