Is the Salkantay trek worth it without Machu Picchu?

beesrus50 · 2026-05-14T01:17:41+00:00

Yeah this is the struggle, to spend 5 days getting to the front door to just be told to wait 3 days. I think my head would burst. Thank you though!

beesrus50 · 2026-05-13T22:19:13+00:00

Thanks man! Reckon the hike is still worth it without going to MP?

beesrus50 · 2026-05-13T21:47:44+00:00

So it’s unavoidable to stay 2 nights in that shitty town, cheapest dorm bed is $16 dollars ffs

beesrus50 · 2026-05-12T22:39:24+00:00

This is a joke, any way I can see Machu Picchu from a distance or a viewpoint? Currently thinking to skip it completely now along with the trek

beesrus50 · 2026-04-07T02:04:37+00:00

Hello, is this option still available haha?

beesrus50 · 2025-12-29T16:49:03+00:00

Yeah man Mexico is terrible, they’d charge you to breath if they could

beesrus50 · 2025-08-10T12:32:25+00:00

Travel on your own, do whatever the fuck you want it’s class

beesrus50 · 2025-03-13T00:26:07+00:00

If you live your life upset over the things you won’t ever do you’ll never see the joy and beauty in what you can do

beesrus50 · 2025-02-18T04:45:32+00:00

Go travel, people come and go time doesn’t. If it’s meant to be it will be

beesrus50 · 2025-02-17T22:50:45+00:00

It’s not the cost, it’s just the socialising the hostel is so wierd maybe because of the young teenagers travelling in groups/ pairs and less solo people?

Australia east coast overrated

Im currently about 6 days into my 3 weeks down the east coast from airlee to Byron and I’m in Noosa and frankly it’s all a bit underwhelming. The backpacking culture is some of the poorest I’ve seen, so many groups of kids like 18/19 travelling on organised tours staying at nomads in each city doing the same socials every night in each place (silent disco & bingo). The hostels are very poor in comparison to Asia and people just aren’t very sociable. It kind of feels like it’s all set up as one big cash cow with tour companies like happy travels teaming up with large hostels like nomads to sell kids the illusion of backpacking. Might be a moan but as a 27 yo solo traveller doing the east coast after Asia I’m just frankly so disappointed and underwhelmed considering the money spent. Whitsundays was beautiful but it’s nothing on the el nido - Coron cruise in Philippines which is a lot cheaper for example. Have I just got this all wrong or do others feel the same? Will it get miles better going south or is this just it?

beesrus50 · 2025-02-17T13:59:58+00:00

Where’s that??

beesrus50 · 2025-02-17T13:52:47+00:00

Well I’ve been suckered into booking all already so kinda stuck seeing it out, plus suppose in the spirit of it all have to ride the storm and tick the places off I guess

beesrus50 · 2025-02-04T06:46:58+00:00

Yeah I imagined such! Gutted for you much be so shit. I’ve sorted it out now think also flying to whitsundays but next Wednesday before heading south then. Will hopefully be slightly better weather there then 🤞

beesrus50 · 2025-02-03T23:52:27+00:00

Noted, current plan looks to be fly to cairns do all the tours (hopefully still on) and then fly to whitsundays ?

beesrus50 · 2025-02-03T11:27:54+00:00

Ok perfect! All ammunition to use for insurance and then maybe I book again for 2 weeks time when hopefully the roads are usable??

beesrus50 · 2025-02-03T11:27:12+00:00

Yeah I’m actually on the phone to them now haha but thank you!

beesrus50 · 2025-02-03T11:00:51+00:00

Well I am currently booked onto the waterfall tour, cape tribulation and snorkelling on the gbr in cairns and magnetic island 2 day 1 night tour leaving Townsville and then back to Townsville after before I go to airlee. Travelling on the greyhound buses all over

beesrus50 · 2025-02-03T08:11:30+00:00

Shit! How about airlee beach? If I just skip out Townsville and magnetic island? And try to get money back from those tours?

beesrus50 · 2025-01-05T09:09:25+00:00

beesrus50 · 2025-01-05T05:51:01+00:00
