I had a wonderful time. I felt safe the entire time and cared for. The pace was pretty fast but the accommodations were very nice and I felt like everything was taken care of and had to think about very little.

Such an amazing trip! Great guides, food and accommodations!

Our leader, Krystyna, was the most amazing leader ever….so caring and caregiving. She gave each and everyone of us individualized attention to make sure we were having the best experience, given our various abilities and health conditions that came up along the trek. For me personally, it was my first trek in altitude and she took special care to support me. Here are a few examples - I was so exhausted after the 2nd day where we hiked to 15,200 ft in altitude then down over 10+ hours that I couldn’t go to dinner. She was so concerned that she prioritized me to prepare a plate for me and brought it to my room while the rest of the group dug into to dinner. I developed Edema in my calves and ankles so she kept checking in on me. There are too many examples like these to put in this review. If you are lucky enough to have Krystyna as your leader, you are blessed!!! For Women Who Explore organization, this trek should not be labeled as Moderate in terms of challenge. The vertical ascent to 13,200 ft on day 1, 15,200 ft on day 2, and (for those afraid of heights) the extensive cliff side walks and suspension bridge parts of the trek were very difficult even with conditioning. Very few of us have trekked before in altitude and would have the opportunity to train in that type of altitude or able to train to ascend so much in altitude. I think there should be more descriptive language in the details of the trek that you put out. Overall , I’m so happy and proud to have done this but, as someone afraid of heights, that was a surprise.

Very challenging in the best way! If you didn’t have the stamina or altitude effected you, there were enjoyable options to get you through the trek. The food was outstanding! We ate soooooo well! Multi course meals on the trail! What?!? I’ve never had it better. There was also a lot of cultural immersion. I learned a lot about Peruvian history. Loved it! Our trip leader and guides were the best.

Had a fabulous time. The host Alana was great. Everything was very well organized. We have plenty of snacks and breakfast /lunch items. Had coffee made every morning and even made some eggs. Had suggestions for free time. Few suggestions for future trips. Would like more than 1 hour for the bike ride. Can eliminate the cider hollow was way too crowded and not much for seeing cider making. Maybe try Stowe cider. Do the gondola ride in the morning, it got very crowded in the afternoon. Avoid downtown Stowe on the weekend, it was very crowded and parking was awful.
