Machu Picchu Tours in Winter

The hiking was awesome, lots of beautiful and different landscapes along the way. On a clear sky at night one can see the Milky Way, it’s incredible. The special views from Macchu Pichu that only can be seen by hikers made everything perfect.

"Excellent tour! We (50f, & 2 teens) found this tour operator from great reviews and had a great experience. Two-day Incra train tour with hotel. Clear and thorough communication before and during the tour. (Definitely follow tips about needing 6mos on passport, collecting and rechecking baggage in Lima, and arriving at least 2 days before tour for acclimation to altitude.) One of our group had altitude sickness so bad they couldn't do the hike, and the company helped us find an alternative so one of us could still do the hike and two of us took the train all the way to Aguas Calientes and were still able to tour Machu Picchu on the second day. Excellent service and hotel. Wouldn't go with another company.

The briefing was very informative and they went out of their way to pick me up from my accommodation. The food on the trek was mind blowing. The chef, Sebastian, made sure we all had a culinary experience, incorporating a wide range of Peruvian cuisine. I ate better on my trek than my entire time in Cusco. This experience definitely wouldn’t have been possible without our porters. Caramelo was our head porter and made sure everything ran efficiently. They did much more than carry our bags, supplying us with whatever needed and cheering us on every time we left camp. They provided an energy and spirit on the trek that made us all feel like family. Most of all, the person that made this experience the most memorable was our guide, Lizandro. From the very beginning he was very personable and extremely knowledgeable. He left us feeling like what we participated in was much more than a trek but also partaking and walking in the footsteps of history. He provided much insight not only into Incan history but also it’s ties into modern day Peruvian life. His enthusiasm and sense of humor made him a joy to be around and I will miss him being a part of my day. I will definitely be booking more treks with him in the future! Everyone on his team made us feel very appreciated and explained how impactful and supportive our tourism was to them. When you book a tour with them you are doing much more than an expedition. You are supporting local livelihoods and gaining a family. They truly cultivated an experience that I will never forget.

This tour operator was amazing from start to finish. The process was so smooth and well organised. The guides (Nilton and Adolfo) were the best guides I’ve had when travelling - they have so much knowledge on the Inca sites, trail, flora, fauna, and local area. They made us feel like family. As well as the guides, the porters (lead by Juan), and the chef (Mario) went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable, safe and happy. The food was excellent, especially being vegetarian, there were so many delicious options and snacks. The tents, sleeping bags and equipment is a high standard. I would 100% recommend this company - you will be very lucky if you get Nilton and Adolfo as guides!

I had a really great time trekking up the Inca Trail over 4 days and 3 nights starting Dec 29,2021 and summiting on Jan 1,2022. I am so glad I had decided to go with this tour company. They had everything organized to a T!! The food was great at each campsite and they even took care of my diabetic needs on the mountain!! To top it off, the chef even baked a cake for our group for New Year's eve!! The guides, Jaime and Adolfo were not only very pleasant to deal with but also very knowledgeable about the Trail and the related Inca history. Jaime was always pointing out to historical facts, trivia and several species of orchids and that made the arduous climb seem like a walk in the park. Adolfo was always around to help and demonstrated skillfully how the ancient Incas made sturdy ropes out of simple mountain grass! Overall, a fabulous experience with Jaime (pronounced "haimeh"), Adolfo and their team to anyone that wants to do the Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu!

Firstly, I rarely take the time to write reviews. I was extremely impressed by every aspect of my trek with this tour company, from pre-hike information and briefings to every aspect of the 4day 3night Inca Trail hike. The guide, Rolando, was incredibly knowledgable, flexible, patient, kind, and encouraging. He allowed hikers to go at their own pace, making sure porters were there to keep an eye on those who weren't directly in his site. The meals were enormous and delicious! I'd never done a multi-day trek before and this company definitely spoiled us...waking us up with coca tea, providing us with warm water to wash up, and a tent set up with a table and chairs for meals. The entire staff was excellent. I should note two situations that arose that they managed perfectly. The first is that I sprained my ankle just 2 weeks before the hike. The staff was quick with their communication and creative with providing alternative experiences to still be able to see Machu Picchu. Luckily, in the end I was still able to do the hike. When the hike was over, we sat down for lunch and were notified that the train personnel was striking so we'd either have to wait until tomorrow to hopefully catch a train then or hike another 2 hours to another town where the tour company's minivan would have access to pick us up. We were very thankful that we were with such a great reputable company because they provided us with a solution to get back the same day, which other hikers did not have. All in all, I can't say enough positive things about this company. They are really top notch.
