‘Salkantay to Machu Picchu.’I can certainly recommend this trek to those who like to get away from it all (until you arrive at Aquas Calientes and Machu Picchu!) I walked the route from Sorayampa to Aquas Calientes passing over the Salcantay Pass (4750 m) camping en route. This is far less busy than the Inca Trail and for those requiring solitude this is the one for you, you won’t be alone but it is far from busy. If you don’t fancy carrying your pack you can hire a guide (and horses) or even join a trekking group in Cuzco. There is plenty to do in Cuzco itself which has gone overboard to cater for tourists while still maintaining its character. While in Peru why not take a trip into the jungle (Pongo de Manique) by motorized canoe? Incidentally if you travel around by coach pick a reputable ‘bus company and be prepared for long delays. We had seven punctures while I was there and they do not always carry a spare!

Review by expert member ‘The grown-up gapper: Salsa and Guinness’By Ruth Holliday for The Telegraph first published 1 September 2008
I would never normally set foot in an Irish bar abroad. I've always considered them a lazy way of sidestepping local culture. If you're going to spend every evening drinking pints in an English or Irish-style pub - why bother leaving the country at all?
Yet here in Cusco, Peru I'm finding myself at Paddy Flaherty's bar several nights a week. And it's for a perfectly respectable reason. While I have two whole months to absorb the Peruvian culture, there's a second society in town that I know precious little about. It's the mysterious and apparently diverse world of the backpacker. See the full article in The Telegraph, 1 September 2008 Review by press. Have you been here? Why not add your own review. |
