    What an amazing adventure you two had. I definitely was nervous & anxious too for you both, only because we had no contact during your trek but I’m so proud of you both for having done this trek. The views look pretty spectacular & having a good people with would’ve helped ease the aches & pains. How amazing are the porters, the tour guide & all the staff who helped make your experience one you’ll always remember. Very proud of you both. Miss you, love you, mum.xx 💕💕

    I’m really look forward to your videos each week. Keep safe and keep on having fun. Love your work x

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  Рік тому +1

      You can do it! There are different companies that do the same trek at a different pace with more luxury hotels!
      And Even if you fall behind with alpaca they have a back up van and back up horses for help! 😊

      We only had one rainy night while we sleeping at Llactapata (so it was too foggy to see Machu Pichu from tents 😔) and one rainy day on the way to coffee plantation! Soooo lucky!

    Thanks for sharing your adventures. This is so enjoyable watching and wishing I had done this when I was younger (I also have poor knees!). I love the hobbit house hope to see more in the next video. Looking forward to Machu Picchu xx

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for watching! 😊 the sore knees were definitely a problem! But machu picchu was worth it 😀

  • @MaxandJacqueline
    @MaxandJacqueline Рік тому +1

    Wow! Getting us excited for when we get to Peru 😆 can’t wait for part 2! Emily I’m (Jacqui) so curious about your knee issue because I’m having a sore knee when I hike at the moment too and I’m really worried about these multi-day hikes we want to do 😅 I hope it wasn’t too bad for you 🧡

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  Рік тому

      😄 You're going to have the best time! It's such an interesting and vibrant country.
      As for the knees, it's certainly manageable, but if it gets too much most company's have back up vans 😉 even back up horses if your high in the mountains!

    I never realised how much I wanted to go to Peru until your videos. It's flown up my to-travel list. I also suffer from sore knees on longer walks. Surprisingly it always seems to be the declines that are worse for them. I think it's my total lack of core strength lol

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  Рік тому +1

      😄 you should definitely go! It's a tough hike but the group (herd) mentality really keeps you going haha

    @olivierspruijt2582 Рік тому +1

    Nice video Guys! I will do this trek somewhere next year, so i’m very exited to see how Nice this looks! One question, can you book this trek like 1 or 2 weeks in advance?

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  Рік тому +1

      Oohhh your going to have so much fun! Not really unfortunately, the tickets to get unto machu picchu can sell out super early! The earlier you can book the better but you never know!

  • @lihonglin2500

    Hi Emily and Jordan, I’m doing this on July, thank you for the wonderful and very informative video!! I’m wondering what type of hiking boots you are wearing? I’m considering trail running shows instead of hiking boots, I don’t know if that’s a good idea.

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  10 місяців тому

      How exciting! We were pretty clunky shoes but they were definitely needed in the snow and mud! That being said, I think if you're doing it in hotter months you might get away with comfortablr runners!

  • @Blondiexplorer

    Hi @jordanandemily - was this the 5days/5 nights Salkantay Trek you did? Would you absolutely recommend this trek or the shorter 4D/4N trek? Thanks 🤩

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  11 місяців тому

      This was the 5 dayer we think! It's definitely up to you, 5 day obviously has more but it's definitely more challenging 😄

    @wojciechpac3943 23 дні тому

    Dont get me wrong , it's a proof that almost everybody in very avarage shape can do this trail. Especially with a guide What;'s the point of the experience like this? You are guided by hand by local guides... Eating prepered food not by you... it's just. a turist trip... nothing challanging

    • @JordanandEmily
      @JordanandEmily  22 дні тому

      Hahaha the point is to hike Salkantay to get to Machu Picchu. We had someone in our group not make it and were told most groups have at least one! I think better than average shape is needed!
