Highland routes

Cusco streets, Sacred Valley terraces, and the train line to Aguas Calientes — each note written after the walk.

Checklists that save the day

Passports, cash in soles, layering for seventeen-hour days — the unglamorous details that decide how the trip goes.

Notes after the trip

What we wish we had packed, which bus filled first, and the hour the citadel was still empty.

Andes Waypoints - Cusco field notes
Field notes, not brochures

Andes Waypoints

We write from the trail after the trip ends: train timings that actually work, passport checks that catch people at 4 a.m., and the quiet hours between ruins when the valley is still cool.

No packing-list fluff and no brochure adjectives — just what we would tell a friend before the same full-day run.
