Salkantay + Inca Trail Journal

In spring of 2016, I trekked to Machu Picchu, Peru. The seven day trip was full of amazing experiences, phenomenal views, and seriously taxed lungs. Below you will find seven posts, one for each day along the trail. They contain highlights of what it was like to trek both Salkantay and the Inca Trail. And of course, there are lots of photographs as well. I hope you enjoy!

Who Am I?

My name is Kendra and I am a cubicle escape artist: I try to find ways to keep my job while also trying to escape it as often as possible.

When I travel, I’m generally that solo woman you see wandering with a camera firmly clutched to her face as she traipses around while narrowly avoiding being hit by some form of local transportation.
