Salkantay, sickness and sights

The guides for our trip were excellent. They were very informative, friendly, had a good sense of humour and helped me alot when I was ill.

The trail is exciting as you get to see glaciers, snowy peaks and lakes along the way. There is also an opportunity to take a horse on the second morning and go zip lining on the fourth. It was nice to be able to stay in a hotel (after three nights camping) the night beofre getting up at 4am to head to Machu Pichu.

Overall the experience was really good! .Tip: fill a plasic bottle with hot water and use it as a water bottle for the first night.
