Did a 4D/3N Inca trail hike to Machu Picchu, had an experience of a lifetime!! The tour guide leader Elisban and his partner Henry were both amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful/kind people. The chefs also cooked terrific food! Every meal was a surprise as each one was almost better than the last. The porters who carry your luggage are hard workers who make sure your sleeping and dining tents are set up on time for when you arrive to camp. All these people work hard for you to have the best time. It’s glamping for sure. If I decide to go on another trek in Cusco I’m going with them. Thanks again to Elisban and Henry, along with their team of porters and chef for making my trip an amazing, life memorable experience!!! Couldn’t have done a better job.

Incredible experience. It was extremely difficult, but also very rewarding. Our guides Susy and Saul were absolutely fantastic about looking out for our health as well as being very informative. Their timing was also pretty much perfect! If they said something took 2 hours, it was almost 2 hours to the minute. Our chef Cecelio absolutely blew us away each night with different meals and drinks to make sure we were fed and ready for the next day. Just an all around incredible crew lead by Angel the head porter as well. They were kind, patient, and probably the hardest workers I have ever seen in my entire life. LOVED this experience. I would recommend this tour operator to anyone. They will take care of you.

This was an absolutely amazzzing adventure to Machu Picchu! The entire 2 day trek was incredible from start to finish, simply extraordinary. Our guides Juan Jose and Manolo were the Best of the Best! They were always attentive to how we were doing and always super encouraging. JJ's love of his homeland Peru and his knowledge and passion for Machu Piccho was impressive and conveyed with deep reverence. We felt the magic. There was an easy camaraderie with JJ and Manolo and many laughs along the way. The head cook Balbino impressed us with his culinary creations! The meals were suberb! And the vistas along the way were stunning and of breathtaking beauty! My deep appreciation...thank you JJ, Manolo, and Balbino for creating memories for everyone in our group that are indelibly ingrained for a lifetime!
