This initiative is so important and I’m really proud of you for collaborating with Karikuy. I just made a contribution through the Karikuy site– I look forward to hearing more about the porters’ experiences and would love to feature any of their writings/reactions to the experience on Matador.

I also brought my mother, father, and brother, none of whom had ever seen MP. For my parents, I thought it would be unconscionable for them not to visit such beauty in their country before they die. I stand corrected.I read about porters before I went on the trip (ultimately didn't use them), but had NO idea they didn't get to see the site. All of the Peruvians I know are immensely proud of MP, and I'm sure these porters would love to experience this.Thank you so much Joanna for bringing attention to this and doing something to help! You can bet that I'll be doing what I can as well. :) I’m Peruvian and just got back from my first visit to Machu Picchu with my son.
