We're off!

Welcome to our travel blog to Machu Picchu! Nine mujeres + a couple guys - mostly from New Mexico - converged on Peru in mid-October. Northern NM: Claudia, Karina and Eric, Janella, Kristi and Brenna; Southern NM: Trish; Nicole in TN, Tammy in NJ, and Ellen and Trampas in NZ. 

We spent the first couple days in Lima - Barranco, then onto the main event: Cusco and Machu Picchu! Some of us hiked the 5-day Salkantay trek; some of us spent more time in Sacred Valley and hiked the Short Inca Trail; and some of us did a mix of both! Several of us ended the trip in Arequipa. Such an amazing amazing trip! Vamanos!
