The food, views, and people of Costa Rica were amazing. G-adventures made this vacation easy going with the lodging and transportation. I had a great time hearing life stories from the others in my group as well as sharing my own. I didn?t think I?d like the group travel setting but it was honestly the best route to go. You could go off and do your own thing or you could join in on the group fun, whatever suits you the best. Costa Rica is beautiful and I?m sure G-adventures picked out some of the best spots to go!
A wonderfully varied trip through Southern Peru, I saw and did so much in the two weeks. The itinerary gives you many new experiences, I enjoyed them all and feel really lucky to have visited such a great country. This was my first time travelling solo and I was a bit anxious, that disappeared as soon as I met the group and I started having a great time straight away. Peru was on my list of travel destinations because of Machu Picchu, I really had no idea how much more it has to offer and it is now one of my best trips.
The High Inca Trail was more challenging than expected albeit very rewarding. Trip starts at high altitude and within a few days, there are a couple of long climbs that would not be a problem if it were not for the altitude. That said, I believe it was extremely beneficial doing The High Inca Trail (as opposed to just the Inca Trail) (which includes the Salkantay pass) as this most definitely prepares you for the part of the walk on the Inca Trail which climbs to 4,125 making this walk more enjoyable.
