Trekking in Peru

We went to Peru for the first time last month. It was a short trip, but very enjoyable. We had some time on our own in Lima before joining up with our group from Intrepid Travel.

We did the four-day, three-night Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu. It was difficult, but very rewarding. Some of us middle-aged folks had trouble with the altitude and we huffed and puffed trying to get enough air into our lungs, but in the end, we all made it. Afterwards, we had some time on our own to explore Cusco and the Sacred Valley.
