Santa Teresa – Aguas Calientes – Preu Inca Trail Day 2
Leaving Santa Marta was a rough start for us due to what turned into quite an epic night at what could only be called a house turned into a bar. We had breakfast with our guides and travel partners and headed off for the day. Day 2 meant we had two options to start the adventure, with some of the group opting on the optional zip line activity.

I am definitely what you could call an adventure junkie who has said yes one too many times to crazy ideas. It wasn’t until 2016 that the travel bug really hit me and I have been trying to explore more ever since. The summer of 2016 was my first long road trip which had me visiting 5 states on what can be explained as the craziest road trip of my life. Trust me when I say you will never miss a good shower…
