    MP trek day 3

    June 21, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Sleeping in this morning, because our guides only came to wake us up at 5.30 am.
    Another great breakfast and a nice picture with our porters and we were ready for another day of hiking. One of our group members already left earlier then the rest with Victor our second guide, because he was not feeling well so they went straight to our next campsite, much lower also.
    The rest started the day with new courage and a new hike steep up, but luckily just for 10 minutes. Then winding paths cut into the mountain side by the incans. Today we walkes into a new microclimate, we left the arid mountainside behind for a dense jungle spreckled with archelogical sites. We arrived at our campsite already at lunchtime, where a couple of other groupmembers like Mckenzie also started not feeling well. In the afternoon we did a small hike to eternal youth waterfall and baby matchu pitchu. Afterwards we were early back on campsite to play some cards and have a great dinner.
    Early to bed again , because tomorrow is the big day that starts really early.
    We are hopefull the sick teammembers can sleep it off and will be all ready for the last amazing day of our 4 day hike.    Read more

    Machu picchu

    June 22, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    This morning we had to wake up at 3 am, but unfortunatly Mckennan also started also not feeling good that night and was feeling really miserable. After our wake up we had to go wait in front of the gate, Mckennan and I just had a our camp set up next to the bathroom instead. At 5.30 am we good finally start our trip to machu picchu, a little slower than normal, but even with all the sickness and diarrhea spread throughout the group we made it all. After some picture on some iconic places around machu picchu we got the real tour inside the city, the place is just something incredible. After our visit, we took the bus back to Agua Calientes, where we had a last lunch together with our group and we saw there also Elizabeth again. Together we could make the long travel back to Cusco. After a nice shower and some pizza was everybody ready for bed.Read more

    Last full day together

    June 23, 2023 in Peru ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    After a goodnight sleep in a bed, everybody was already feeling much better.
    We took it slow this morning, made ourselves some breakfast and figured out what we were going to do during the day. First up was a Cacao class, where we could make our own chocolates, then we went for some lunch on a rooftopbar next to the mainsquare to also enjoy the parades that were going on all day in the city.
    After a quick stop at the airbnb, it was time for our cooking class of traditional peruvian food and cocktails. Unfortunately Matt's back starting hurthing a lot (the bed's in the airbnb were harder then the airmatrasses in our tents 🤦‍♀️), so he didn't join us in class.
    The class first started with buying our ingredients at the central market and afterwards went back to the studio to make 3 main dishes, 3 cocktails and a dessert. 4hours later, we ended the class very full, happy and tipsy.    Read more

    The day of return

    June 24, 2023 in France ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We woke up had some breakfast and made sure all our stuff was packed so we could check out at 11. We had still a morning stroll around the market to get some small things to take home, but then at 11, Elizabeth and I left for the airport, me ready to fly back home, Elizabeth to enjoy still a couple of days in Lima.
    The rest of the group would leave later that night from Cusco to Lima, to fly home from there.
    The end of a fantastic experience of a couple of friends together in Peru.    Read more
