Sorry for the late reply , but it was if you purchased any other EA game this year . Black Friday has that game around 30 or 35 $<| sep |> Me too I ' m a karma whore <| sep |> Yes ! Sorry for making you go through troubles of finding it <| sep |> The Loki Travel guys were great but I should warn you about their hostels . They are party hard or else type hostels . You will not get any sleep there . The thing is that they don ' t advertise this so if you ' re just casually booking you would never know . And for some for types of trips it could be perfect who doesn ' t like to party ? but if you have to wake up at 6 am for a demanding multiday hike then you actually want to get some rest . Their hostels have Quiet after 10 pm signs up everywhere , but nobody pays attention to them , including the staff . It ' s often super loud until 35 am . The one good thing about their hostels are the bars . You can get decent food there , it will mean you can eat there while acclimatizing in Cuzco and won ' t have to walk around the town , which can be a lot of work when you ' re not used to the high altitudes yet . So depending on your style , their hostels might or might not be for you . Their Loki Travel offices in Cuzco are right at the hostel , but you don ' t actually have to stay there in order to book Loki Travel stuff . My friend stayed elsewhere and booked his trip through them and it was fine . If you look through my album and see the picture with the horses , that ' s day 2 of hiking , the most demanding day . It was about 3 hours of the steepest uphill hiking on the trail to the highest point on the trail , and then 7 hours of downhill hiking after that . On day 1 I had some issues with the high altitude not high altitude sickness symptoms our guide kept making sure it wasn ' t that and kept checking on me but I was just running out of oxygen and energy and had to stop every couple minutes and take deep breaths . I also got crazy cramps in both legs after a while . Day 1 took a lot of out of me but fortunately on day 2 you are able to rent a horse to take you up to the highest point on the trail . From what I saw about 1 person out of every group making the hike opted for this . We were the rejects haha people who had difficulties with the high altitudes . It was pricy but I thought my body was complaining so much on day 1 that I didn ' t want to end up at the highest point on the trail devoid of energy . So I splurged a bit and let a horse ride me up to the top , saved up my energy for the 7 hour long descent , and it worked out well . The last 2 days of hiking are 22 km each but a lot easier than the first 2 days . And yes , this was definitely one of the most memorable things I have ever done . Once you get to Machu Picchu , after all that work , it just feels so amazing . When we climbed Machu Picchu mountain , on day 5 , and I looked down and I saw the ruins . and I felt that sense of amazing accomplishment . and the coca leaf juices I had been chewing on get them in Cuzco ! They help a lot were making their way through my body . and the pain pills I took . and all the adrenaline washing through my body . and I looked around and everywhere around me were such beautiful mountain vistas . I had a bit of a spiritual experience up there . It felt like all these chemicals were swishing through my body . I can ' t really explain it . I ' m not even religious at all , but I will never forget that moment ! Your experience will likely be different from mine but I can guarantee you will never forget it
