What it is really like to do the Salkantay Trek (as an unfit female hiker) |🇵🇪 PERU EXPERIENCES

Episode 36 – Salkantay Pass, PERU

Ever wondered what it’s really like to tackle the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu as a solo, “unfit” female hiker? In this video, I’m sharing my honest, unfiltered experience on day two of the trek, where altitude took its toll. With breathtaking Andes scenery, the journey was stunning, but the challenge was real—I had to take a horse through the Salkantay Pass due to the effects of high altitude. This video captures the highs and lows, perfect for any solo female traveller in her 30s looking for genuine travel insights.

Join me as I talk about altitude sickness, the realities of being a less experienced hiker on this challenging trek, and why Peru’s adventure travel isn’t only for the ultra-fit. From feeling disappointed to embracing the journey, I hope this video inspires other women to push their limits while still being kind to themselves. Subscribe for more Peru experiences and the full Salkantay series, following my trek to Machu Picchu!

About me - Hi 👋 I'm Tiff and I'm going solo in my 30s for the first time. I'm currently backpacking carry-on only, travelling full time, sharing my tips, budget and inspiration along the way. As well taking you with me as I feel it all and really learn to find myself and heal again after all these years. I share the highs and lows and lots of laughs. I enjoy spending time outdoors, hiking (though I do complain on the uphill) experiencing new cultures and meeting new people along the way (even though I am painfully shy!) and my goal is to show you that anyone can take a gap year and live life on your own terms.
