I am excited to embark on the Vilcabamba Trek in Peru with my friends, a journey filled with stunning landscapes and rich history. This 13-day trek offers an opportunity to explore lesser-known Inca ruins and immerse myself in the breathtaking Andean scenery. We chose not to book a hotel, preferring to camp along the trek to fully experience the beauty of the surrounding nature and the camaraderie of adventure with friends.
