Mary Kuopus

(Cachiccata Trek, May 2005)

We felt so privileged to hike the Cachiccata Trail. The people, the vistas, the ruins and the beauty of the culture made for an experience that I'll never forget.

I went to Peru thinking that the ruins at Machu Picchu would be the highlight of my trip. However, as it turns out, the smiles of the children on the Cachiccata Trail were priceless. We brought pencils, sharpeners, and crayons to pass out. One pencil and a few crayons brought heaps of happiness to the kids. That was special.

Also we brought hats (made by the 5th grade students at Pueblo Elementary in Scottsdale) to the kids at Mantay as well as some school supplies. Again, the smiles and happiness of these kids was a delight.

I cannot tell you enough about how our guide, Boris, "made" this trip come to life! He was superb! He offered us so much about the history of Peru and also about the modern-day people and how they live and work. He was there for us at every step - pushing us to learn more and guiding us through some tough hikes. I cannot say enough about him!
