I started the 5 day 4 night Salkantay trek with no idea what to expect. Day one was an easier hike but a chilly night. Day 2 was an intense 9 hour day of hiking steep uphills and downhills. Days 3 and 4, the scenery changed and the uphills and downhills became easier. I\’ll always remember the beautiful views and tough hikes but the people that I got to meet with made it the most memorable. I got to the opportunity to bond with people from all over the world! In addition, our guide Carlos was an amazing leader who made the experience that much more memorable.
