In Episode 11 we welcome Katrina Vande Bunte to discuss her travels to Peru, where she hiked the Lares Trek & visited iconic Machu Picchu. Katrina is a former travel agent, now Nurse with a love for travel. She’s had some impressive experiences, including volunteer work in Africa for 3 months, living in Central America & many other adventures. 

Kourtni and Ant have both visited Peru, with their main focus also being on visiting Machu Picchu- one of the world’s 7 wonders. Their separate experiences were highlighted by completing the Inca Trail, a 4 day hike to MP- the direct trail leading to this popular bucket list stop. 

Along with visiting MP, Peru has so much to offer, being such a diverse country. Other things on the ‘to do’ discussed in this episode include the Amazon Jungle, Sand-boarding, flying over the Nazca Lines, the Sacred Valley, visiting Cusco, Surfing, the Rainbow Mountains & so much more. The Peruvian people are extremely friendly, and you’ll always feel safe!

We chat about the differences between Peru’s two most popular treks, the mysteries of Machu Picchu, tips to prep for the hike, being off the grid, altitude sickness, & what to expect. 

This episode is truly informative and one of our favs! Ant, Kourtni & Katrina highly recommend crossing this epic adventure off your list.
