We finally decided on an outfitter for our five day Salkantay trek. We start on Tuesday. The trek ends with a guided tour of Machu Picchu. Only 200 people per day can climb Huayna Picchu, the peak that rises above Machu Picchu. We wanted to leave on Monday but there weren’t any slots available for Friday’s Huayna Picchu climb. So after weeks of casually interviewing some of the hundreds of outfitters around town and carefully examining the various routes, we ended up with Uncover Latin America almost by default, as they were only ones on our short list that can take us on Tuesday and get us Huayna Picchu tickets. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as people on TripAdvisor have been very happy with their Uncover Latin America trips. Another bonus: it looks like we will have a private trip for the cost of a group one.
