salkantake a hike!

The Salkantay trail is a real test of endurance. It is also an incredibly redeeming earns undeniably spiritual experience. Our wonderful guide Jorge truly enriched the 5 days, with insights into the Quechua and Incan cultures as well as a genuine love for his job. It would be difficult to overestimate the extent to which he impacted our trip. If he ever wants a career change, I think he would make an excellent philosopher. Otherwise, the food was amazing, the group was fun and the various Andean views were beautiful. I am very sad to be leaving (although my legs will be glad of the rest!).
