Thank you for the raw video, for showing the highs and lows. i was so relieved to know you guys recovered and made it through!!!

You need to take altitude sickness more seriously - if someone is having headaches and vomiting it can get more serious really quickly and you need to get them to lower altitude. Money should not come into it - people have lost their lives this way.

Love that you included all the highs & lows of the entire journey. Watching you two deal with altitude sickness was rough, can't imagine experiencing it firsthand. But you guys survived and made a great video! Couple questions:<br>- what time of year did you go? May?<br>- did chewing the coca leaves not help with the altitude sickness?<br>- were sandals a must ?<br><br>Thank you !!!

THANK YOU! Seeing your journey is inspiring. I'm doing this tour in May; I can't wait! I appreciate you showing the good and bad. I feel better knowing what to expect based on your experience. It seems like Salkantay Trekking is an amazing company -- really happy I invested in their trek! Your video is the only one that covered all my questions; I really appreciate you posting.
