A true wonder of the world! I feel
Incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity and privilege to experience this magical experience. We had the most insightful and thought provoking guide- HUGO, who instilled the spiritual importance of this pilgrimage and history of Peru. This was certainly a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend having one point of contact for your group to organize administrative details. We had a few bumps in the road but once we arrived during orientation, Valencia made up for it. Our group prepared a checklist for the hike which was very imperative. Our hike was in July so the essentials were packing layers for the cold mornings and nights. Definitely rent poles as they come in handy for the steep climbs and downhill runs . I was especially touched by our group of porters who worked so hard over the 5 days and 4 nights to make sure our breakfast, lunch, dinner and over night accommodations were ready for our long days of hiking. Our Chef Joel blew us away with the healthy and a variety of dishes. The attention to details was amazing in the conditions we have. I am touched thinking about this experience- we met people from all over the world. Soak it all in and thinking about your intentions and disconnecting is the true gift of this experience. Incredibly emotional and a testament of what our bodies can accomplish.
