I can’t believe it, but tonight I’ll be heading to Peru with my friend, my dad, and brother for 17 days! To say I’m excited is an understatement! I’ve been planning for this trip since March and am finally ready for it to actually happen.

There’s been a lot of planning that had to go into this one since we’re hiking the Inca Trail. Lot’s of gear purchases and deciding which trekking company to go through – we ended up going with Peru Treks in the end.
I’ll most likely do a packing post when I get back, but here’s our Peru itinerary for the 17 day vacation! I’d love any advice any of you might have!
