As background information, me and a few people from my residence booked an adventure package to Machu Picchu with Conde travel (near the plaza De armas in cusco). Conde travel was recommended to me by one of the lady's I work with, Angela.The package included biking, zip lining, trekking, and going to hot springs all the way from cusco to machu picchu. :)
Day 1:
The tour guide is late! He told us to meet him at 6.10am but he came at about 7am. I guess I should be used to Peru time by now, but nope. After the scenic 2 hour drive to the snow-capped mountains, the guides took out the bikes where we got to ride for 2 hours through the cold weather to a warm and humid climate. Words cannot describe how much I missed the summer humid air. It made me think I should try to volunteer in a warmer part of Peru. Hmph, unfortunately I love my project too much for me to want to leave them. >:\. I guess I'll just have to deal.
After biking down the mountains we hiked through the jungle and up a much smaller mountain. Our final stop was a hostel in the middle of a random mountain (nowhere). The trek was super tiresome due to how steep the mountain was. So far so good though, Conde Travel.
PICTURE TIME!!!
We started biking in cold and snowy weather.
