Salkantay trek was awesome. I almost died a few times because it was so bloody cold and I had never experienced such altitude. Day one we went a drive for a couple of hours before starting the trek, we reached our campsite after a few hours and then after a short break hiked for an hour up to an awesome lake.
The hike was a struggle but the views were worth it. We had dinner back at the campsite (the cooks who traveled with us were great so breakfast, lunch and dinner never disappointed). Day two was a long one, up at 5 am and trekking 24 hours. Zip line and hot springs were great. I've been exhausted every day but totally worth it. Looking forward to Machu Picchu tomorrow.
