The trek

Our wonderful group - front row Nikki and Jean , back row Brian, Dave, Bob, Sue, Roger, Karen and Tracey.

Day 1

We travelled to Yucay and unfortunately due to gastro we had a bad night. We did not eat the next day and travelled for 4 hours on the bus then walked for 2 hours to stay at Soraypampa Camp!


We were taking medicine to clear things up our first night camping Dave was up the entire night in minus 5 degrees, then Nikki started at 5 am in the morning. We decided to return back to Cusco and abandon the trek through the Andes Mountains. The trip the next day was up 800m and was deemed a day that you needed to be 100% fit. We were also accompanied by Roger who also took ill at the same time. A difficult decision but one that we did not regret as it took 3 doctors visits and more medication with a weeks rest to get back on track.
