Exceptional. Salkantay Trek Short Inca Trail
Inca Land Adventures的点评
点评：We arrived home from our adventure less than 24 hours ago and I am already rushing to leave my review, that alone shows how keen I am to recommend Inca Land Adventures and our wonderful guides, Flavio and Dario.
Flavio was our point of contact through booking and couldn't have been happier to answer questions ahead of time. I'm not a seasoned hiker and I am an over-thinker, so I had many questions/concerns that I bothered him with! He was always quick to reply (via WhatsApp, very easy) and polite and kind. The original 4 day Inca hike that I'd looked at sold out while I researched (Machu Picchu has a strict limit on numbers of visitors each day, so act quickly once you decide dates and get booked) so we ended up booking the "Salkantay Trek Short Inca Trail" (5 days) and it seemed to be fate, it was wonderful. We still got plenty of the hike along the Inca trail itself, but mixed in we were able to also visit the beautiful Humantay Lake (day 1) and reached our max elevation (just over 4,900m/16,200ft, so higher than you reach on the 4 day Inca Trail hike, for anybody who enjoys being competitive!) on day 2 at Inca Chiriaska. Our tour saw us camping for the first 2 nights, very much a part of the experience, but also something very much out of my usual comfort zone, but the guides/porters made the whole camping ordeal as painless as possible for us. Roland and Max went ahead with a duffel bag each of our clothing/camping supplies each day, with our horseman, Antony. Making the hike look impossibly easy, they arrived much in advance of my husband and I, and had camp all set up by the time we got there. Tents (and toilet tent with toilet seat included, much to my surprise and delight!) and cooked us the most delicious meals. I was so surprised with what they were able to achieve, true culinary wizards! I'd anticipated having rather basic meals along the way, but they provided us with flavourful, true Peruvian meals, and more than we could possibly manage to eat! I'm incredibly thankful to the boys for making the camping easier on me, waking us each morning to tempt us out of the tent with a welcoming hot tea or coffee. I will mention at this point, that we went in May, the beginning of the dry season and in the Autumn for the Southern Hemisphere. The first night camping is stunning, near the base of the Salkantay glacier, but it was cold! As mentioned, I'm not usually a keen or enthusiastic camper, so anyone more used to the elements won't be as pathetic as me, but even I managed. I'd just say prepare well, as I did, if you know you feel the cold. Our tour, as I said, rather fatefully, saw us spend nights 3 & 4 in comfortable, local hotels, and actually greatly increased our enjoyment of the entire experience. I'm sure camping for 4 nights would suit many adventurers, but my husband and I have reached a point of our lives where the balance was welcome. It also meant that at points we travelled, either by car, bus or train, between a few of the Peruvian towns. I really enjoyed this as I felt that it meant we got more of a feel for the country itself.
Flavio was our guide for our first 3 days; to the lake, up the mountain and along the Inca Canal, and he was fantastic at spotting and recognising all the local wildlife, particularly birds. He recognised their calls and came armed with binoculars that he was happy to share with us so that we could observe the beautiful endemic birds. I swear that he didn't need the binoculars though, his eyesight is incredible! Able to spot a condor miles away. One of the initial reasons that I booked Inca Land Adventures for our trip was because I had read a review saying how patient Flavio was when somebody needed to take their hike slowly. This really was the case. On day 1, we had quite the elevation gain. It was the most challenging day with the greatest distance covered, and a steep climb to our highest point. The altitude really took its toll on us and, although thankfully we didn't suffer from sickness, we did notice that the thin air meant we had to really take our time. Flavio was so kind and patient, encouraging, but also just reminding us that there was no race and we should simply go at our own pace and enjoy the journey. My husband and I had chosen to take a private tour, just the two of us with the guides/porters, and again, this was a decision that I was incredibly happy that I'd made and, in our opinion, well worth the extra cost.
Dario took over for days 4 and 5, meeting us for dinner at the end of the 3rd day. He had big shoes to fill, but he managed! Friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, Dario guided us through the more jungly section of our tour to Wiñay Wayna. There were many beautiful plants and flowers in the microclimate of that area, and a keen gardener himself, Dario was able to tell us what they all were. His enthusiasm for, and depth of knowledge of, Incan history was amazing and he was able to share it all with us, well prepared with pictures of various characters from their history, and drawings and artefacts found, bringing the history to life. The 4th day also had a very steep climb for us, because part of the usual trail is currently closed for repair following a rockfall during the wet season, and I can confirm that Dario was equally as patient and encouraging as Flavio with slower hikers! We trekked to the Sun Gate, which Dario was able to teach us about, and had truly the most magnificent first view of Machu Picchu. Sensational. Our "Salkantay Trek Short Inca Trail" was much less busy than the 4-day Inca Trail tour, which I'm sure is still wonderful, but we were incredibly lucky to be by ourselves for much of the trip, avoiding the crowds and much more our scene. From the Sun Gate we walked down to Machu Picchu itself, taking in the stunning views, then returned the next day to explore a different part of this magnificent place. Again, Dario was able to confidently and expertly able to tell us all about; the buildings, the temples, the history. Truly fantastic.
The entire experience was meticulously planned. From Flavio meeting us the night before our departure to answer any last questions, let us know what to expect and to hand over our 2 loaned duffel bags so that we could prepare and pack, to the train tickets booked in advance. Hotels prearranged, packed breakfasts/lunches along the way when we weren't with our delightful cheffing porters, dinners out included while we were staying in the hotels. Seamless.
I really couldn't be more thankful for our exceptional experience and that Inca Land Adventures - Flavio, Dario and their helpers - made it happen. Thank you all so much. I couldn't recommend you more. Tupananchikkama, until we meet again.

翻译：我们探险结束还不到24小时就到家了，我已经迫不及待地想写评论了，这足以说明我多么想推荐印加土地探险公司和我们出色的导游弗拉维奥和达里奥。
弗拉维奥是我们预订时的联系人，他非常乐意提前解答我的疑问。我徒步经验不多，而且我是个爱思考的人，所以我有很多问题/顾虑都烦到他了！他总是回复很快（通过WhatsApp，非常方便），而且很有礼貌，也很友善。我原本想看的4天印加徒步行程，在我研究期间已经售罄了（马丘比丘对每天的游客人数有严格的限制，所以一旦确定日期并预订好，就赶紧行动吧），所以我们最终预订了“萨尔坎泰短途印加古道徒步”（5天），这似乎是命中注定的，真是太棒了。我们仍然沿着印加古道徒步了很长一段路，但我们也参观了美丽的 Humantay 湖（第一天），并在第二天到达了印加奇里亚斯卡的最高海拔（略高于 4,900 米/16,200 英尺，对于任何喜欢竞争的人来说，这比 4 天的印加古道徒步旅行要高！）。我们的旅行前两晚是露营，这是体验的重要组成部分，但也远远超出了我通常的舒适区，但导游/搬运工尽可能让我们的整个露营过程轻松无痛。Roland 和 Max 每天都带着一个行李袋，里面装着我们的衣服/露营用品，还有我们的骑手 Antony。让这次徒步旅行看起来轻松极了，他们比我和我丈夫早到很多，在我们到达时，营地已经搭好了。帐篷（还有带马桶座的厕所帐篷，让我又惊又喜！），还为我们烹制了最美味的饭菜。我对他们所能取得的成就感到非常惊讶，他们是真正的烹饪大师！我原本以为一路上只会吃到一些简单的食物，但他们为我们提供了美味可口的正宗秘鲁美食，而且量比我们可能吃的还要多！我非常感谢这些小伙子们，他们让我的露营变得更容易，每天早上叫醒我们，用一杯热情的热茶或咖啡引诱我们走出帐篷。我要说的是，我们是在五月去的，那是旱季的开始，对于南半球来说正是秋天。第一晚的露营非常棒，靠近萨尔坎泰冰川的底部，但是天气很冷！正如我所说，我通常不是一个热衷于露营的人，所以任何更习惯于露营的人都不会像我这么可怜，但即使是我，也做到了。我只想说，如果你知道自己会冷，就要像我一样做好准备。正如我所说，这次旅行的缘分在于，我们第三和第四晚住在舒适的当地酒店，这大大提升了我们整个旅程的乐趣。我相信露营四晚对很多探险家来说都很合适，但我和我丈夫已经到了人生的某个阶段，觉得这种平衡是值得的。这也意味着我们会不时地乘坐汽车、公共汽车或火车，穿梭于秘鲁的几个城镇之间。我非常享受这种平衡，因为我觉得这让我们对这个国家有了更深的感受。
Flavio 是我们前三天的向导；我们去了湖边，爬山，沿着印加运河前行，他非常擅长观察和识别当地的各种野生动物，尤其是鸟类。他能辨认出它们的叫声，还很乐意带上双筒望远镜，让我们能够观察到这些美丽的当地鸟类。我敢肯定，他根本不需要双筒望远镜，他的视力真是太棒了！几英里外就能看到秃鹰。我最初预订印加土地探险公司（Inca Land Adventures）的行程，是因为之前读到过一篇评论，说弗拉维奥在有人需要慢慢徒步时非常耐心。事实也确实如此。第一天，我们爬升了不少海拔。这是最具挑战性的一天，我们走了最长的距离，而且要爬到最高点还要爬一段陡峭的山路。高海拔真的让我们吃尽了苦头，虽然谢天谢地我们没有晕车，但我们确实注意到稀薄的空气意味着我们必须慢慢来。弗拉维奥非常友善、耐心，鼓励我们，同时也提醒我们，这不是比赛，我们应该按照自己的节奏走，享受旅程。我和丈夫选择了私人行程，只有我们两个人，还有导游/搬运工。再次强调，我非常庆幸自己做了这个决定，而且在我们看来，额外的花费绝对物有所值。
达里奥接手了第四天和第五天的行程，并在第三天结束时与我们共进晚餐。他肩负着巨大的责任，但他做到了！ Dario 友善且知识渊博，带领我们穿过了前往维纳瓦纳 (Wiñay Wayna) 的丛林地带。该地区的小气候孕育了许多美丽的植物和花卉，Dario 本人也是一位园艺爱好者，他向我们一一讲解了这些植物和花卉的种类。他对印加历史的热情和渊博知识令人赞叹，他乐于与我们分享这一切。准备充分，各种人物肖像、绘画和文物都栩栩如生地展现了历史。第四天的攀登也非常陡峭，因为雨季发生落石后，部分常用路线目前关闭维修。我可以肯定，Dario对那些走得慢的徒步者也和Flavio一样耐心和鼓励！我们徒步前往太阳门，Dario向我们讲解了那里的风土人情，并让我们第一次欣赏到了马丘比丘最壮丽的景色。真是太棒了。我们的“萨尔坎泰短途印加古道徒步之旅”比四日印加古道之旅人少得多，我相信四日印加古道之旅仍然精彩纷呈。但我们非常幸运，大部分时间都是独自一人，避开了人群，也避开了周围的环境。我们从太阳门步行到马丘比丘，欣赏着壮丽的景色，第二天又返回探索这座宏伟古道的另一个部分。Dario再次自信而专业地向我们讲述了一切；建筑、寺庙、历史，真是太棒了！
整个旅程都经过精心策划。从出发前一晚 Flavio 与我们见面，解答我们最后的疑问，告诉我们行程安排，并把借来的两个行李袋交给我们准备和打包，再到提前预订的火车票，一切都安排得井井有条。酒店也提前安排好了，沿途没有热情的搬运工时，早餐/午餐也打包好了，酒店住宿期间，晚餐也安排好了。一切都安排得天衣无缝。
我非常感谢 Inca Land Adventures 为我们带来的非凡体验，感谢 Flavio、Dario 和他们的团队，让这一切成为可能。非常感谢你们。我强烈推荐你们。Tupananchikkama，期待再次相见。
