Hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu
10 of our friends from the USA and our German friend from Munich whom we first met in Vietnam flew in to go with us on the 4 day 3 night Inca Trail trek. It was spectacular. The scenary was amazing as we changed elevations often and experienced or at least saw several different sides of both the Andes and the Amazon. And we had a great trek company and fun group so everyone had a good time together. We highly recommend the trek company Peru Treks, www.perutreks.com, as they provided excellent service at a great price and seemed to do a very good job of looking out for the welfare of their porters, guides, and other staff
We all came back to Lima exhausted, and some a bit sick suffering from Inca’s Revenge (Peruvian version of Montazuma’s Revenge), but still managed to eat lots of great traditional food at my aunt’s house for my birthday party. Our German friend stayed an extra week which gave us a great excuse to go out and enjoy some of Lima’s best nightlife and restaurants and just as he left 2 other good friends from the USA came to celebrate my aunt’s 80th birthday with many family and friends at a resort in the large sand dunes in the middle of Peru. Back in Lima again, Shan decided to work on improving her Spanish so she hired a tutor to help her for a couple weeks and my mother was around so we got to spend some good family time with her and my relatives.
