How NOT to hike to Machu Picchu

Tip 4. Keep your comfort zone, well, comfortable. I wouldn’t say I’m a super picky eater but there are things that are just no gos. Green peppers for example. Any type of mushroom. So when you’re on a trek that prepares your food, you either suck it up or you starve.

I will say that the food on our trek was exceptional. We had a chef that traveled with us and prepared all of our meals. He even was able to accommodate our gluten free hikers.

So I didn’t totally mess this tip up. I actually did ok. Until….it came to ordering Guinea Pig on the menu. Nope. That deep fried rat looking house pet is not getting in my belly.
