Machu Picchu Tours in August 2027

"I did the 4 Days / 3 Nights Inca Trail with José as our main guide and Carlos as his sidekick. José gave great explanations and history lessons about Inca culture and the ruins. He knew all the spots (for pictures, breaks) and provided the best itinerary to make this a memorable experience (sunrise at Machu Picchu). Big love to all the porters, because without them this trek would not be possible in this way. The food was really good and plenty to feed all the hungry hikers. I would recommend going with this tour operator to hike this trail. However one thing I would like to note is that fair compensation to everybody involved (porters!!!, chef, guides) should be improved to reduce the additional tipping culture. Of course all tips are always voluntary, but if there is specific guidelines with recommended amounts from the company how much to tip you know the baseline salary is probably not enough and it feels very forced upon the tourists to be the bad/good guy. I also felt the suggested amounts were quite high for an already quite expensive tour. Go Super Hikers and Green Machine -!"

"This was one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. Our guide, Raul, was so full of knowledge and so friendly, he made the trip extra special. The views were incredible and breathtaking. Our chef was so talented, he made us some of the best food I’ve had. Our guide organized a special surprise for our anniversary and the chef made us a delicious, beautiful cake. The porters were so friendly and encouraging, I am so amazed at their ability to walk so far with the things they carry for us. I do recommend this trip but with caution because it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I didn’t know how difficult and draining it was going to be. However, our guide, porters, group, and the experience made all the sore muscles completely worthwhile. I don’t think I’ll ever experience anything like this anywhere else in the world!"

Did the 5D/5N Salkantay hike. Amazing crew and very well prepared! Edward did a great job as a tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the mountains and surrounding areas, the history and about Peru in general. Gregorio was an AMAZING cook. Half of the trip was the food honestly. Highly recommend them! Unforgettable views and overall experience. The challenge is super worth it! The porters Pablo and Henry also did heroic work carrying our stuff.

I had an incredible time on the 5 day/5 night Salkantay trek with Edward as a guide. The views on this hike are amazing, but the best part was truly our guide, Edward, and our chef, Gregorio. It was my birthday during the hike and they planned multiple birthday surprises. The views at the campsites are out of this world and the food was more than we could ever expect - I can’t understand how they managed to make such delicious meals while camping, and carrying around all the ingredients. Edward was so knowledgeable of Inca culture, history, and traditions, and was also great conversation along the way. He was incredibly responsible with all of us, made sure we were all comfortable and knew where we were going and what was going on. I can’t recommend this trek enough, and if you can get Edward, you’ll have a blast!

We just finished our 5D/5N hike on the Salkantay trail with our fabulous guide, Ivan and our amazing cooking team, Alberto, Luisa, and Waldir. Our week on the trail has been a beautiful experience that our family will always remember! The Andean mountains are incredible! Our guide, Ivan, was very knowledgeable and kind and patient! He taught us so much about Incan culture and history and local flora and fauna. He took wonderful care of our family! We also feel so grateful for the incredible food prepared each meal by our chefs and for the kindness of our porters and horsemen. We love this local travel expert!

The most incredible experience!! I can not recommend this trip more highly! We had the most wonderful guide Ruben, he was absolutely fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and so much fun, he made sure every single person on our trek had an amazing experience. The local travel specialist truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible Inca Trail experience. We even had an issue with our flights out of Cusco and Ruben went so far as to rebook us on an earlier train from Machu Picchu, set up transport from the train back to cusco to pick up our bags, and then to the airport - we made our flights all thanks to Ruben and the spectacular team! Henry our second guide was also wonderful!! Everyone should do this trek, it was the most unforgettable adventure!!
