Peru – trekking to Machu Picchu

In August of 2017, I embarked on an journey that would test my courage and blow my mind.  That journey was the Salkantay Trek which led us to the site of Machu Picchu in Cusco, Peru.  I have never done a hike in that high of altitude and it was a very challenging experience.  There were times when I thought I’d never be able to catch my breath and that was while I was laying still!  We camped for two nights on the trail and then one night in the hotel room before we visited Machu Picchu on our final day.  The views on the hike were some of the most epic I’ve seen.  I will update this blog with more details from that journey, but for now, here are a few photos.
