At the briefing I met my team and my guide Carlos. The induction was very informative and helpful. Carlos, was an amazing guide. He was very helpful and a lot of fun. It was so exciting to start the trek and the first day was easy walking. We visited six sites over all and Carlos was very informative and enthusiastic and answered all our questions. The food we were given was above expectations. We had three course meals and we were full all the time. We were also given boiled water which was great! The tents were in very good condition and the camp sites were all really nice. The second day was the hardest day by far, I really struggled with the altitude and the steep climb. Although the views were spectacular and we had amazing weather the whole trek even though it was the rainy season.
I enjoyed the trek so much and it was defiantly the best physical achievement I have done. I loved my group and Carlos. The porters were the most amazing people ever! I have no idea how they carried all the stuff! It was so much fun and I would recommend it to everyone. As for Machu Picchu – words cannot describe how amazing it was! Everyone needs to go!
