Our adventure through Peru’s Sacred Valley felt like stepping into a vibrant tapestry of history and culture. One of the most unforgettable moments was indulging in a traditional Peruvian feast, where the flavors of ceviche and lomo saltado truly transported us to the heart of the region. While the stunning views of Machu Picchu left us in awe, we did experience some delays with transportation that slightly interrupted our flow, but the magic of the journey more than made up for it.

Exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu was a magical experience, filled with breathtaking landscapes and rich Inca history. While our accommodations were generally comfortable, we did encounter some noise issues on a couple of nights that disrupted our sleep.

The connection we felt to the ancient culture during our trek was truly remarkable, especially when we reached the iconic site that felt almost otherworldly. While the accommodations were comfortable and added to the experience, a couple of our group found the early wake-up calls a bit challenging.
