I really enjoyed this trip despite suffering from some serious altitude sickness. We had excellent guides and although I'm not known to be the best camper, the team made it as comfortable as it possibly could be and the first views of Machu Picchu from the sun gate made it all worth it!
Well organized and executed trip. Top notch staff. Very safe. Food exceeded expectations.
If you think you've only got one big trek in you, this is the one to do!
This was, without a doubt, the best trek I’ve ever done! Starting with two days in Cusco, a city that’s not only beautiful but full of history and culture – I loved having the time to explore, and our guide offered fantastic recommendations for delicious Peruvian meals. The Inca Trail itself was incredible. Every day brought stunning views, and there were soo many Inca ruins along the way! Day 2 (Dead Womans Pass) was definitely a challenge but so rewarding once reaching the top! I was surprised by the quality of the camping, it was far better than expected. And the food – wow! The chefs prepared three-course meals that were absolutely delicious, and on the final night, we were treated to fresh-baked cake and mulled wine to celebrate – it exceeded all my expectations! Overall, the trip was perfectly planned from start to finish. An unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to visit Machu Picchu!
A four day hiking journey that had as much beauty as it had challenges. Breathtaking in every way. Rewarding and overwhelming. The camping makes it that much more intimate with the trail and that much more challenging with the journey.
