The Inca Trail Adventure was the best vacation I've ever been on. I liked how we had a few days before trekking to Machu Picchu to acclimate to the high altitude, learn about the different ancient cultures of Peru, and even got to do some light hiking, explore ruins, and visit a small town where we saw a guinea pig farm, visited the town's only stove, and learned how to make Peruvian corn beer. We had 2 separate guided the first 2 days and they were wonderful. The trekking portion on the Ancascocha Trail was so special and unbelievable. We were the only hikers on the trail. We felt well supported with 7 horses/donkeys, 2 cooks, and 2 horsemen. Our guide Carlos was amazing. He did a wonderful job showing us the lay of the land, guiding us through the local's farmlands and mountains. We hiked fast so Carlos decided to do 2 days of hiking in 1 and we were rewarded with good hiking and a nicer place to stay for 2 nights instead of 1. We did a bonus hike and one of the cooks who lived there used a machete up a mountain so we can get amazing views. The food and the sights of this trip were top notch.
Our guide, Fisher, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and considerate. He took good care of us and handled each situation with confidence and calmness. The hike was more difficult than we’d expected but Machu Picchu didn’t disappoint.
The guide (Fisher) was fabulous as he dealt with every situation calmly and the coordinator (Diana) of the tour in Cusco was a dream and kept us up to date and answered all my questions promptly.
