Some of the best weeks of my life

May 21, 2025by: Max Wenham - EnglandProgram: South America Explorer with Gapforce

This was my first travel experience and it was great. Starting in Cusco was a great place to meet everyone and the city is amazing. The Salkantay trek was some of the best days of my life with Machu Picchu capping it off. So the whole trip with Quilatoa,the activities in Baños, the wildlife volunteering and the otovalo market it’s overall a great trip. I would also say though if you are going bring a bit of soap unless you’re ok with 3in1 :) and pack a bit of variety in your clothing as you will be trekking but there are opportunities to go out at night with the others on the trip.

The Andes to Amazon trip in Peru was amazing! I got to meet a ton of new friends while traveling and exploring this amazing country! We got to see such a wide range of places that I got to really understand Peru!
