Day 3 of our @experiencemlp trek to Machu Picchu... 1. @whatsmikeeatingnow helped out a local bread maker. This may be the first time he’s used an oven since I’ve know him. 😹 2 & 3. We hiked up to the archeological site of #Ancasmarca. These round buildings were used as storage containers, high up in the mountains. 4. Then we toured a local market and bought more bread to distribute to the locals on our way to... 5. Hike from #Cuncani to #Huacahuasi where it rained almost non-stop, but the lakes were pretty and we were escorted by some awesome dogs. #experiencmlp #thehorowitzs #thedashanddineperu #marriedchristmasperu #peru #peruvian #hikingperu #incanruins #traveling #travelblogger #breadoven #workingdogs

A few months ago, I was contemplating on whether I should go travel for fun or travel while doing something good; contributing directly to the community. After giving it a deep thought, I decided to do an internship with Nexos Comunitarios to have a real-life experience of working in a field related to my major and to get a full immersion in the Peruvian culture. In actuality, I never intended on visiting South America. But certainly, this was one of the best decisions in my life. The time I spent there was not long but I did contribute a lot to the organization that is working alongside the Andean communities with initiatives grounded in the respect and promotion of interculturality and human rights. I especially treasured the weekly site visits I did in Cuncani, which is located high up in the Andes mountains. The other interns and I would march out of the house in the early mornings at 5 a.m. in the cold Peruvian winter to go through a long 5 hours’ journey to go to Cuncani. Trying to fight off the altitude sickness during the journey was not so difficult when we were accompanied by the mollifying view of llamas and alpacas relishing themselves in the wild green. One of the projects while I was there was completing the Participatory Action Research Methodology project in support of the ongoing effort to combat malnutrition in the communities. I felt beyond proud seeing the positive improvement in the children’s motivation to learn after the organization started the Nutrition Program for the children. Furthermore, I got to practice my Spanish fluency when I lived there for a whole month! Besides this, I realized how non-profit organization is not an easy work. Behind the scenes, I got to see how even political and economical aspects of the country play a big role in how the non-profit organization could operate. Honestly, although my time there was short, I learned numerous valuable lessons that I wouldn’t trade for the world. If anything at all, I deeply value the friendships and connections I made with the people I met in Peru. It’s amazing to think that most of us still keep in touch with each other even after months of saying goodbye. This internship experience also taught me a lot about patriotism; for Peru, and for my own country. Equality is an important aspect needed to be held upright regardless of the place, race, or any other factors. From this experience, I learned that we have to fight for each other’s right, protect each other, and give support to all who needs it. One thing for sure is that, by joining Nexos Comunitarios, you’ll be involved in a community of people who will strongly support you and give you all the help that you need. It was a splendid experience for me, and I wish everyone would join and experience a better one!"  --- Izzy Yusuf MSc Clinical Mental Health Sciences Candidate, University College London (UCL) B.A. in Psychology with a Minor in Organizational Leadership and Supervision, Purdue University PROGRAM: INTERNSHIP

Top 5 Machu Picchu trails

Machu Picchu is a majestic area full of culture and history. Located at the top a mountain, hiking through it is almost a requirement. Even so, the satisfaction of reaching the entrance of this ancient village is truly a remarkable experience.Initially there was a main walking trail going to Machu Picchu which is the Inca trail. But over the years, more trails were developed that will lead you to the village.

Here are the top 5 Machu Picchu Trails:

Salcantay Route

Famous for its topography and ecosystems, this route will get you within 20,500 feet of Mount Salcantay. This mountain is considered the holiest of all mountains for the Incas. From the peak, the trail descends going to a subtropical forest that goes through the Inca highway. A few more steps will then lead to Llactapata, where you get a side view of the Machu Picchu complex.

Lares Route

This route is by way of the Lares Valley which isn’t as crowded as the other trails. Its snow-capped peaks will keep you encouraged while you trek the trail to your reward: Machu Picchu. It starts from the town of Cuncani and along the way, you’ll be greeted by Mount Veronica and some high altitude lakes. 

Finally, getting to Machu Picchu is just a 90 minute train ride by way of Ollantaytambo.

·         Huchuy Qosqo Route

Just north of the town of Cusco, this is the shortest and the fastest route to Machu Picchu. Aside from that, it is also the easiest trail to the ancient structure as it has minimal elevations that only require light trekking. Feel free to use this if you are short on time in visiting this architectural ancient wonder. 

·         Vilcabamba Traverse Route

This route is one of the most (if not the most) difficult routes to Machu Picchu. It is a weeklong journey and it is not recommended for those who do not have proper training in long walks. It starts from the town of Cachora, and then crosses down to the Apurimac River canyon and to the ruins of Choquequirao. The trail continues to the small village of Cordillera Vilcabamba and more trails that showcase Peru’s bio-diversity on the way

Chaski (Cachicata) Trail

The route is full of high altitude trails that were used possibly by Chaski messengers. The trail starts with the barely visited Inca buildings goes through the water channels and some quarries as well as the Perolniyoc waterfall. It then leads you to Ollantaytambo where you can use the train to arrive in Machu Picchu.

1º de agosto: veja destinos que celebram o Dia da Pachamama

Divindade máxima das regiões andinas, a Pachamama é celebrada em alguns países da América do Sul, durante todo o mês de agosto.

É nessa época, cujas principais festas acontecem no dia 1º de agosto, que comunidades indígenas agradecem as conquistas da colheita anterior, enterrando comidas e folhas de coca, em um buraco na terra.

Essa divindade feminina, relacionada à fertilidade e à terra, é homenageada em um ritual conhecido como chaya ou pago (‘pagamento’, em português), quando são feitas oferendas à Pachamama para que essa retribua com boas colheitas e condições climáticas favoráveis, na temporada seguinte.

Atualmente, essa é a alternativa para substituir os tradicionais sacrifícios de animais que eram feitos em homenagem à Mãe Terra. Outro ritual é a prática milenar de defumar as casas (sahumar, em espanhol), com o objetivo de afastá-las das más energias.

Quebrada de Humahuaca: a Argentina que você (ainda) não conhece

Ao longo do continente, diversas festas são marcadas para esses dias como as comemorações na Isla del Pescado, no Salar do Uyuni; em San Antonio de los Cobres, na Argentina, onde acontece, desde 1995, a Fiesta Nacional de la Pachamama de los Pueblos Originarios; em províncias do norte argentino, como Jujuy, Salta, Formosa, Catamarca e Tucumán; e no povoado de San Pedro do Atacama, no norte do Chile.

Uma das novidades, no próximo dia 3 de agosto, será a viagem temática que o clássico Tren a las Nubes realizará a partir da cidade de Salta, em direção à puna salteña, como é conhecida essa região altiplânica do centro da cordilheira dos Andes.

Conheça o Trem nas Nuvens, uma das viagens ferroviárias mais altas do mundo

Pachamama

De origem quíchua, a palavra Pachamama quer dizer ‘Madre Tierra’ (em português, Pacha significa “terra” e Mama, mãe).

A homenagem à essa divindade indígena costuma acontecer em regiões andinas da Bolívia, norte do Chile, Peru e (quem diria) até na Argentina.

Durante todo o mês de agosto, com ápice no dia 1º, o continente é palco de diversos eventos em destinos como a Isla del Pescado, no Salar do Uyuni; em San Antonio de los Cobres, na Argentina, onde acontece, desde 1995, a “Fiesta Nacional de la Pachamama de los Pueblos Originarios”; e no povoado de San Pedro do Atacama, no norte do Chile.

Todos os caminhos levam a Machu Picchu

O ‘Grande Caminho Inca’ (Qhapaq Ñan, em língua quéchua) é uma extensa rede de antigas trilhas de mais de 500 anos, utilizadas pelos incas, em países como Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolívia, Equador e Colômbia.

Conhecido também como El Camino Principal Andino, o trajeto é considerado a coluna vertebral do antigo império dos incas e, atualmente, 30 mil km de extensão, de um total de 60 mil, são Patrimônio da Humanidade pela Unesco.

Machu Picchu pela 1ª vez: dicas, preços e roteiros

No Peru, conhecido como a Terra das Três Faces, por conta da geografia variada que vai do deserto a florestas amazônicas, um roteiro lodge to lodge dura até uma semana e tem hospedagem em hotéis isolados dos Andes, em caminhos alternativos que levam a Machu Picchu.

Nesse programa multiatividades, o hóspede se reúne no hotel com o guia para escolher o roteiro do dia seguinte e conta com opções que incluem visitas a sítios arqueológicos menos visitados, como o de Ankasmarka; produção de tecidos, em Chinchero, no Vale Sagrado; e trilhas mais pesadas, como a impressionante Cuncani – Huacahuasi.

Tips: Guide, Cook, Porters

Bring for the Lares Trek to Machu Picchu

A good daypack: Eagle Creek Afar Backpack –appropriate packs to carry your personal belongings.

Original passport with the migration Peru card (for Trains, Machu Picchu Park, and Hotels)

Travel insurance (strongly recommended but not required).

Swimwear for the hot springs of Lares

Lighter trekking boots (with good ankle support)

3 pairs of trekking pants (not jeans): 1 hiking, 1 cotton–which is just enough. Please spray both pairs with an insect repellent before the trip.

Layers for variable temperatures especially at night

1 rain jacket: The first night the temperature can be as – 5 degrees Celsius/41 degrees Fahrenheit. The rain jacket can be helpful, because there are rainy days even if we are in dry season!

1 warm/Winter jacket

Thermals: wool socks, gloves, scarf, and woolen hat for cold nights.

4 pairs of underwear, 5 pairs of socks (Bamboo or cotton/nylon-blend socks dry faster than 100 percent cotton, which lose their softness when air-dried). It is nice to have a couple of extra pairs of socks to change into at night when you’re not hiking. Also, we recommend bringing both really heavy hiking socks and lighter socks because the weather is variable, so you want to make sure you’re not too cold or overheat.

4 t-shirts, 2 long sleeve shirts

1 good sleeping bag liner that is super lightweight and easy to pack. Definitely does its Job!

Travel-size tissues and wet wipes–The air is cold and damp so your nose is going to run a lot. Everyone seems to run out of tissues by the end of the trek. Also, most bathrooms do not have toilet paper (if you even get a bathroom), so wet wipes are key.

Iron tablets and pills for altitude sickness. Several people on the hike have varying degrees of altitude sickness and both of these remedies (in addition to the coca tea) are very helpful in alleviating the symptoms.

Sun protection cream (SPF 45 or higher recommended).

Bug spray with 30% DEET in it–which you need, but it doesn’t work very well. The issue with Cusco outdoors is that most of the bugs are not mosquitoes. They are these small flies you can’t even see that leave weird bites that first look like you pricked your finger and then blow up into itchy red bumps. Unfortunately, these bugs seem to bite you no matter what kind of spray you put on, so an anti-itch medication could be helpful.

Re-usable plastic or metal water container or a hydration pack such as Camel back

Water (only for first day hike). Then we will provide you with water throughout the hike.

Camera and film

A headlamp to navigate camp in the evenings and pre-dawn mornings with spare batteries

Bandages or moleskin

Flip flops to change into at night–your toes will thank you!.

Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste/floss, shampoo/conditioner, brush/comb, Vaseline (for feet great for potential blisters), feminine hygiene products, deodorant, nail clippers/file/tweezers, spare glasses and/or prescription, mini-eyeglass repair kit, contact lenses if required and supplies, hand sanitizer etc.–and whatever else you need, but pack light.

Medication (Imodium AD or something for your stomach. Some people get an upset stomach on the trek. With 8-10 hours of hiking each day, you need to get over whatever the day throws at you quickly, so bring some meds.

Plastic bags for dirty and wet clothes

Something to read in the evenings

Extra money for souvenirs, drinks, & tips to your staff

Additional Notes

Gift for Andean children “Optional”

Lares Trek. We recommend bringing: Coloring books, crayons, pens, notebooks, pencils, stickers, clothes, toys, etc. but not candies or chemical products. . Children will love to receive these gifts when we pass through Andean communities which have schools.

[nexoscomunitarios-blog]

I have no reservations in saying that my experience with Nexos has been a major milestone for my academic and professional career. I worked for one of the organization’s health and nutrition project in Urubamba. Very much imprint of Nexos’ vision, the KW project forwarded an interdisciplinary approach to a multifaceted challenge, i.e. improving the lives and future of Upper-Andean elementary school children suffering from under nutrition. I gained through this internship at Nexos first hand insights about health issues such as water-born diseases, lunch-box programs, school gardens as well as indigenous farming practices. Managing parts of a school feeding program, proceeding to database entries alongside writing and presenting policy reports and evaluations were part of my daily tasks during this placement. The practical expertise resulting from performing those duties have tremendously enhanced my skills set. I consider that this internship was thus a powerful springboard to my later professional involvements which include for instance positions for Oxfam-Quebec, the McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy and the Global Water Partnership. I recently completed a M.A. in China Development Studies at the University of Hong Kong and am currently candidate for a M.Sc. in Water Science, Policy and Management at Oxford.
