The 3 day Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience, shared amongst strangers turned "familia". From gorgeous landscapes, snow capped mountains, jungle adventures, glacial lakes, every turn in the road was a surprise.
Our two guides, Carlos and Nemias, shared interesting information along the way about flora and fauna of our every changing scenery and history of Inca tradition on the road to Machu Picchu. To top it off, we were spoiled with two wonderful chefs who prepared delicious Peruvian meals.
The trek was physically challenging as we hiked about 9 hours a day. I wish I had taken the packing list more seriously because I did not feel prepared for the change in weather. Accommodations were nice with tents and mats ready for us at each campsite.
