About

Hey guys! Aiming to do the Salkantay trek solo, nice and slow, and without the pressure of groups or timeschedules. I like company though 😊 if anyone else is keen, on these dates, send me a message! You need to have some hiking experience, but you don't have to be a fast hiker. Seeing as we won't have emergency equipment like oxygen either you need to have been high-altitude hiking before, and know somewhat how it feels for you. Myself, I'm a keen hiker, but I'm not particularly fast, and I have some knee issues at the current moment, which might make me slower in certain sections of the hike, just FYI. This might also be better by the time of hiking. I don't have any camping equipment with me, so I'm aiming to stay in, and eat at, accomodation along the way. I have entry to Machu Picchu on the afternoon of the 19th, and I will go back by car the following day.
