This being my very first trek, I had many new and exciting discoveries. It was a wonderful experience! The scenery was astounding. From the first night, high in Andes where the backdrop included snow and rock and a clear sky in which the stars were incredible, to trekking along the river and seeing the beautiful greenery, fruit, and flowers, the journey was a constantly changing and just spectacular. Paul and Jimmy were wonderful, charming and knowledgeable guides; the stories about the Incas and the Peruvian culture were fabulous. Our support crew was friendly and dependable – we wanted for nothing. Next stop – the Inca Trail ? Sounds like a good plan to me! :-)
