Peru

peruvian adventure

I travelled to Peru with 5 other companions to meet the challenge of the world famous Inca Trail. The trail was led by hired outfitters based in Cuzco, Peru over the course of 4 days and about 40 kilometers to end at Machu Picchu – the ruins of an ancient Incan city built atop an Andean mountain peak.
