First time in Peru and i tackled the hardest hike I\’ve ever done. Trained for 6 months at sea level and hoped that i wouldn\’t die on the mountains. Started at low altitude by the river and slowly worked my way to the peak. I didn\’t get altitude sickness, break ankle, or die! Plus there was great food, entertaining stories, a fun guide, lots of rum, and a cake at the end!. The views were amazing (of both the ruins and the night sky). Now i can cross Machu Picchu off my bucket list. Would absolutely recommend this trip. Next up Salkantay !.
