Most Inspirational Moment
talking to Fabrizzio, Hernan and Lizbett, our wonderful trail guides, about their pride in their Inca heritage ...wonderful first evening meal on trek - asparagus soup, stuffed trout fillets, with rice and al dente mixed vegetables, followed by bananas flambeed in brandy with hot chocolate sauce - worth going for the food alone!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fabrizzio was experienced, knowledgeable, hard-working, encouraging - all you could expect from a guide and so much more! I had a chest infection and initially doubted my ability to complete the trek but he was hugely supportive and encouraging, and inspired me with the confidence to do it comfortably. He was also very good at ensuring group cohesion while giving everyone the chance to do their own thing - never once did we feel regimented to do anything.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't hesitate to book ... it's a great trek, and lots more besides. Take swimming gear for Aguas Calientes and the hotel in Nazca ...
