What it is really like to do the Salkantay Trek (as an unfit female hiker) |🇵🇪 PERU EXPERIENCES
Episode 36 – Salkantay Pass, PERU Ever wondered what it’s really like to tackle the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu as a solo, “unfit” female hiker? In this video, I’m sharing my honest, unfiltered experience on day two of the trek, where altitude took its toll. With breathtaking Andes scenery, the journey was stunning, but the challenge was real—I had to take a horse through the Salkantay Pass due to the effects of high altitude. This video captures the highs and lows, perfect for any solo female traveller in her 30s looking for genuine travel insights. Join me as I talk about altitude sickness, the realities of being a less experienced hiker on this challenging trek, and why Peru’s adventure travel isn’t only for the ultra-fit. From feeling disappointed to embracing the journey, I hope this video inspires other women to push their limits while still being kind to themselves.

I'm currently backpacking carry-on only, travelling full time, sharing my tips, budget and inspiration along the way. As well taking you with me as I feel it all and really learn to find myself and heal again after all these years. I share the highs and lows and lots of laughs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking (though I do complain on the uphill) experiencing new cultures and meeting new people along the way (even though I am painfully shy!) and my goal is to show you that anyone can take a gap year and live life on your own terms. = My favourite travel gear = Gopro hero 12 - https://amzn.to/4bdl3Zh Song ZV-1 Vlogging camera - https://amzn.to/4hYCf7h Lightweight mini tripod - https://amzn.to/4hTh6v5 Buff - https://amzn.to/3XdtMoo Danish Endurance Bamboo underwear https://amzn.to/3XdtMoo Travel soap bar case - https://amzn.to/4hJTMjv Anti theft backpack - https://amzn.to/4ibNCZi Rab waterproof coat - https://amzn.to/4hJUCNb Samsung 2TB SSD - https://amzn.to/4hJUCNb Tripped Toiletry bag - https://amzn.to/3DjthlQ Go pro carry case https://amzn.to/4hOQxY0 NTONPOWER extension lead https://amzn.to/439LsVK Soap saver https://amzn.to/4k7dVl4 Small S-Biner https://amzn.to/3QvChaN Universal travel adapter https://amzn.to/3D3YoSw Waterproof phone pouch https://amzn.to/3D3YoSw Baseball cap for ponytail hair styles https://amzn.to/43b3uqw Super Sparrow Thermal bottle (hot or cold) https://amzn.to/4k7e5ZI Pacsafe Adult Anti-theft cross body bag - https://amzn.to/3ES5fyW Ultralight compression packing cubes https://amzn.to/4hUvdjO Cosy slippers for cold nights! https://amzn.to/4bfOlGt
