    Walking the trek with fabulous people and wonderful guide. Sleeping in the mountains in a thunderstorm and finally the view of Machu Picchu through Sun Gate was the icing on the cake.

    We were able to achieve astounding feats travelling 45km by foot and 4200m of altitude because of the planning and help we received. No way we could have done this without the tour.
