Join me on my first ever solo trek through the beautiful mountains of Peru.

I've always done treks with a guide, or with someone who's done the trek. This is my first time trekking by myself, not to mentions I'm in a country that primarily speaks Spanish. I'm put to the test using a language I've just learned, I'm also tested on all my trekking skills to make sure I've prepared enough and have the physical endurance to explore the vast and beautiful mountains of Peru!

On this Trek I meet up with 2 French backpackers, Gui, and Estelle. I initially thought this trek would be done Solo, but you meet some amazing people doing the exact same things you're doing. I also love the energy and amazing locals all throughout the trek. Not only did I make some life long friends, but enjoyed their company as we explored Salcantay together. The purpose of this trek is actually to scope out the trail that I'll be running, I've signed up for a Marathon along this very trail. This gives me the knowledge needed to see what the trail is like and a good test to see how I'll do on the Inca Trail Marathon! I'll be releasing the full Video this Friday! Stay tuned!

If you plan to do this Trek yourself these are the places I stayed:
Night 1: Soraypampa Hotel
Night 2: CAMPING/HOSTEL EL MOLLE-CAPULICHAYOC
Night 3: Llactapata Lodge (Gui Stayed here Lucmabamba Lodge)
Night 4: Supertramp Hostel Machupicchu
