A minor hiccup with our group size made some moments feel crowded, but the stunning views and rich history more than made up for it.

From the moment I embarked on this multi-day journey, I felt a deep connection to the rich history and captivating landscapes along the way. Each day unfolded with new discoveries, whether it was wandering through ancient ruins or engaging with locals who shared their traditions and stories. The overnight experiences were a highlight; sleeping among the mountains and waking up to breathtaking views provided a sense of tranquility that words can hardly capture.
While the guides were knowledgeable and friendly, I sometimes wished for a bit more time to soak in each site, especially those breathtaking vistas that seemed to invite contemplation. The blend of cultural immersion and stunning scenery made the trip worthwhile, and I found myself reflecting on the incredible engineering feats of the ancient civilization.
Overall, this adventure through the heart of a bygone era offered me more than just sights; it was a journey into a world that still resonates in the present.
