    I just came back from this 7-day tour, and honestly, it was one of the most emotional trips I've ever taken. I had never been to South America before, and I was nervous about the altitude and the long days, but everything was so well planned. The guides were supportive, especially in Cusco, and during the hike to Humantay Lake, which was tough but totally worth it. Machu Picchu made me cry , it was that beautiful.
