I was planning on going on a hiking trip in Peru to Machu Picchu in October, but I can’t go due to work. Such is startup life…

The trip combines hiking along a secluded Inca trail with overnight stays at traditional mountain lodges. It’s been sold out for weeks but I have two spots. Send me an email if you’re interested.

Note: Bumped this old post for all of you chocolate lovers out there!
