Here they eat clay, which is rich in minerals and helps them digest and eliminate toxins from their bodies. After, we will return to our lodge for a delicious breakfast. After breakfast, we will take a walk through the forest for 2-3 hours. We will return to the lodge for lunch and then rest or swim in the river. After lunch, you will also have the option to go zip-lining. In the afternoon, we will visit Lake Machuwasi, where we will take a rafts to observe birds, such as the prehistoric bird hoatzin and, with luck, other animals such as monkeys and capybaras. Then we will make a nocturnal walk through the forest to look for insects and amphibians. After the night walk, we will have dinner and spend the night.

This trek was amazing! Percy, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our chef, Max, prepared delicious meals everyday. Every aspect of the trek with ITEP was fabulous. Would definitely recommend!...
We had a great 5 day hike with Percy doing the Salkantay Trek. He was very knowledgeable about the Inca history and had fun facts that he shared during the hike. The hike itself is stunning, but tough with the high altitudes. The food by Max was delicious and there was plenty of it....
