I can reveal that a small army of furry hobbits mow the grass twice daily to keep it looking so pristine!

Do they rope you tourists into it or do they have an army of goats in Machu Picchu!!! These are the vital things you leave unanswered!!!

My boyfriend and I are at the very beginning stages of planning a 12/12 trek. Could we pick your brains sometime about budgeting/planning/resources sometime?

We are both fit again now, and heading off into the jungle tomorrow.

Thanks for the tip on the Uyuni trip.

Hope you have all the historical details for me. Your photos have been much admired – especially the condor from the canyon – were you very close to it or was it a telephoto lens? Sorry your trek was marred by the Inca curse – hope you are both fit again. Love Mum

Rugby internationals start this weekend so i would like to see a photo of you somewhere up a mountain with collar up in memory of that great day in 2003.

Who were your guides? I drank so much coca tea on that trail! Stunning pictures, glad you enjoyed. Hope you both feeling tip top now… enjoy Bolivia!!! We can recommend Estrella Del Sur for the Salt Flats tour. Avoid Pamela Tours apparently. Chao x
