The Inca Trail

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.

The whole trip was truly amazing. I did both the Amazon and Lake Titicaca extensions, which logistically was complicated but it was all made easy with Exodus. The most impressive thing was that my luggage made it through a total of 5 airport connections and a 10 hour bus ride! The Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu was the best yet, hard in places (day 2 getting to dead womans pass) but so worth it. Met a brilliant group of people, only 8 of us which was the perfect size, Best Group Ever :-)

The trip lived up to all my expectations - Cusco is fascinating, the Inca trail is demanding but worthwhile and all the travel arrangements went like clockwork.

This adventure holiday exceeded all my expectations. Havving never travelled with Exodus before, I wasn't sure what to expect but organisation, tour leaders, accommodation - all were perfect. Thank you Exodus.

I booked The Inca Trail with extensions to the Amazon and Lake Titicaca, my only regret, not having done it sooner in my life!

I have wanted to do The Inca Trail for about 20 years. I finally took the jump and couldn't have been happier with my experience. Not only was it a great person accomplishment but it was made to be a very comfortable and fulfill trip by everyone involved before at home and in Peru. Firstly I had a delayed flight between Bogota and Lima, this resulted in me missing the final leg of my journey. I made contact via email while sat on a plane and the staff at home were exceptional, had me on a new flight instantly and rearranged my transfer to the hotel. The city of Cuzco, the country of Peru, I loved it all. The porters on the trek were amazing. The chef was a genius. The camp sites exceptional. The group leader, Julio, full of knowledge. Exodus and everyone associated with my trip have my eternal gratitude

This is definitely a bucket list trip which has you constantly on the go from start to finish. You will not be disappointed but be prepared to feel exhausted at the end of your travels. I have been away with Exodus many times in the past and have always had positive experiences with them. There were a couple of minor hiccups on this trip, hence I have marked down one star. However, with such a complicated trip to book, it was inevitable this may happen.

I booked this trip for myself and my daughters (22 and 19). We all thoroughly enjoyed it, mostly due to the brilliant organisation of the entire trip. The food on the trek was simply amazing and a big treat at each stop, we were all simply amazed at how such delicious the meals were, created out of a tent on a camping stove which had been carried 30 miles and up and over 4,200 metres ! A great big thank you to the chef and sous-chef for your outstanding work ! Our tour guides, Edwind and Antony were fantastic. They were not only professional to the core, but really lovely to be with, they looked after each and every one of us in the group so well (there were 13) and we had such a nice time with them. The trek itself was spectacular. We found the second day going over the 'dead woman's pass' really hard, but there was a great sense of achievement as whole team made it, and the next two days were much easier and the scenery sensational; of course the prize was seeing Machu Picchu at the end. Well done Edwind, Antony, Modesto, Valentin, Luis Huayta and each and every porter who looked after us. You were all simply amazing and we will never forget the memories you have given us. A huge thanks to all of you. I'd highly recommend this trip.

A wonderful trip that shows you many of the Inca sights before you take those last few emotional steps towards the sun gate and see Machu Picchu sitting below you. I’m so glad I took this option rather than the easy train day trip to MP as it was personally rewarding, challenging and incredibly memorable. It was a little tougher than I expected but completely doable - I walked away having seen mountains like never before, been amazed at the strength and ease at which porters scale the mountains, dined on 3 course meals, slept above the clouds, felt like I could touch the stars enjoyed the company of wonderful fellow trekkers and met a passionate tour guide (Roul) who helped pull it all together. Feels like a dream already just a week after the event, but I totally recommend it!

This was a really happy accident. I had wanted to do the Inca Trail, but I booked my trip too late and Exodus put me on the Moonstone Trek instead, which was a ridiculously good piece of fortune. As it turned out I was the only person on the trek - I felt ridiculously pampered. I had a guide, one chef, two porters and our four pack horses. The first day we went to the Moonstone which gives the trek it's name before heading on to the departure site for the trek itself. While climbing up the hills we passed another tourist group coming the other way, but they would be the last tourists I would see until the end of the trek. The scenery as incredible - not the lush forests you might see on the Inca Trail, but an incredible trek through the high pampas. We walked through little settlements where the locals offered us wheat wine (although my guide said it would probably be best not to take them up on it as it can upset your stomach if you aren't used to it). I joined up with the rest of the group in Aguas Calientes at the base of Machu Picchu the night before we all headed up, and I decided to get up early the next morning to get a glorious view over the lost city from the sun gate. It was well worth the early start.

I chose to do the Moonstone Trek - a remote and quiet Inca trail reaching the dizzying heights of just under 4700 m. I was the only person doing the trek and had my own guide, chef and 2 horsemen. I thoroughly enjoyed the trek, beautiful scenery, remote small communities and Inca sites en route. My guide was very knowledgable and i learnt about about the history of the area en route. I was looked after extremely well: fantastic food and hot tea and water in the morning. I highly recommend this trek and Exodus, it is a once in a lifetime experience.

Brilliant from start to finish. This trip excelled my expections as I have never done an Exodus trip before. I am a keen fell walker but have never seen a such diverse beautiful countryside. From river valleys to rugged mountain tops. The second day was quite steep up dead womans path but well worth it. We always got plenty of encouragement from our guides Edwind and Anthony. They were very knowledgeable about all the history and flora and fauna. But the highlight is the Sun gate and your first veiw og Macchu Pichu.

Peru My Peru holiday with Exodus was just amazingly fantastic. I have seen beautiful mountains before in the Alps but had not previously experienced the amazing sunsets you get on the Inca Trail or the stunning night sky. You could see the stars and milky way with absolute clarity. Nor have I descended down through Amazon cloud forest with its amazing flora and fauna. To do all that whilst walking such historic trails was mind-blowing. You feel really close to mother earth and nature. The descent through the Sun Gate to view Machu Picchu cannot be overstated as a beautiful moving experience. It is the best view of the site but what is undersold is that on this trip we arrived at the Sun Gate as Machu Picchu was closing and we had the site to ourselves. You descend through the site. I climbed the wooden steps to view the Gatekeepers Hut and it was occupied by just 3 Llamas! The next day on the formal visit there were swathes of visitors. The porters on the trek were amazing, I have a new definition of fitness now after watching porters run past me with a 25kg backpack almost a big as themselves. After their trek they erect your tent put your stuff in it and have a bowl of hot water waiting for you and prepare your meal. Meals were all freshly made, healthy and very tasty. They really do carry fresh vegetables up the trail. The joy of a shower and a flushing toilet after the trek is still with me! Cusco is an amazing place to explore and just to sit and watch. Its pace can be manic, it felt like being in a Rio carnival at times. Traffic is crazy and controlled by women police officers who are fearsome and fearless. They need to be, horns toot endlessly and everybody just shoves as far as they can. Its noisy and very vibrant. The Cathedral is beautiful and the huge picture of the Last Supper where they enjoy guinea pig is interesting. I did eat guinea pig and Llama, the Llama is good, cross between steak and lamb but not keen on guinea pig. We visited Inca sites in Cusco and if you are a history buff you would be overjoyed as their is so many sites. This holiday has completely changed my view of holidays, no more standard European Alps walking holidays. I crave history and culture experiences. I am still in a state of wonder a week after getting back. Only downside of the holiday is the free roaming dogs, some of which have homes but are not allowed in, but some are just hungry and scavenging out of rubbish heaps. Not so much in Cusco centre but just outside. 3rd world regarding animals.

This was my second trip with Exodus and the organisation could not have been better. I was pcked up from Cusco Airport, transferred to my hotel and introduced to the other memebers of the group. We had a day to acclimatise in Cusco and then started the Inca Trail. It was absolutely briliant. The walking was quite steady but some very steep sections. The scenery was spectacular and the night sky was equally as spectacular. We could clearly see the Southern Cross. The food at each camp was superb (How the chef managed to cook such good meals, including 1 vegetarian, on a 2 ring portable stove, beats me!.) The tour guide, Edwind, was very knowledgeable and each Inca settlement we passed, he gave us a "history lesson". The timing of the walk to go through the Sun Gate, was exemplary, as we did so late afternoon and viewed Machu Picchu when there were hardly any tourists in the site. The views of Machu Picchu were breathtaking and it is no wonder it is one of the 7 natural wonders of the World. I would highly recmmend this walk but remember there are some steep sections, particularly the second day, so be prepared!! In short, an excellent trip well organised by Exodus and a great toour leader. Excellent value for money.

I wanted to do something like this for a while but didn't get the chance. Going on this trip was amazing and now I am grateful I was able to do it. Everyone was very nice, the porters were amazing(the chef even made a birthday cake for me), Beto and Mel really good and even though I struggled a bit on the second day the trip was just perfect.

Well organised, brilliant guide and unbelievable porterage team.

Very challenging four day hike to Machu Picchu. The hike itself was absolutely beautiful, with incredible views all along the way. Our guides, Julio Santos (lead) and Josval were excellent. Julio was full of interesting facts at every site we were to stop at along the way, and Jos was more than willing to help may our experience a memorable one. The porters, the head chef and his assistant were outstanding. Their professionalism, and extreme efforts were appreciated by all. The food was incredible! A great experience I would recommend doing the hike to anyone.

Challenging but an experience of treking in remote, dramatic landscape aay from the 21st century!

Booked trip late, so the Inca Trail itself was sold out. This didn't bother me, as the Moonstone trek sounded great - and it was. Loved the fantastic scenery, the pre-Inca and Inca structures, the glimpses of Andean village life, the excellent food, and the peace and quiet of the trek. Rest of trip was great, too - good itinerary, excellent organisation. Cuzco is a wonderful city to explore. Really enjoyed optional Sacred Valley day trip. Machu Picchu did not disappoint, either (and I have found the odd big-name sight disappointing in the past). Overall, hard to fault this trip.

This was one of the toughest challenges I have put my body through but was so worth it. I had an amazing time and the trip was so well organised. I am in love with Peru now and already thinking about when I can go back.

I couldn't praise the Exodus team more highly for helping to provide me with one of the holidays of a lifetime!

Fantastic atmosphere, brilliant guide, porters and support team. Just wish it was longer!

The Inca trail, organised by Exodus, was a thrill ride from beginning to end. I was so impressed with the organisation of the trip. We were looked after so well that I didn't have to think about how I was going to get around, or where my next meal would come from. The two guides were a constant source of fascinating facts, and helped keep the group motivaated. The group of Porters were superhuman. The camp site was stripped down as we left. They marched (And sometimes ran) past us during the trek. And always had the camp ready when we arrived. If this wasn't impressive enough, the meals were already in the process of being prepared. The food provided by the chef were delicious. Hadn't expected to be eating such great food. Fish, meat and chicken were the evening meals. Also popcorn was provided as an after trek snack. So impressed I would recommend this trek to anyone. And if this is how Exodus organise their trips, I will definitely use them again!!

Magnificent trek - wild and unspoilt countryside. Better than doing the main Inca trail I'd say as you are not simply climbing millions of steps, nor do you have to stay on camp sites with forty other tented pitches. You're likely to see only your group (only two women in ours), the guide, chef and horsemen / porters who all work to make your trip safe, comfortable and enjoyable. When it was really cold, they even gave us hot water bottles at night and had a gas heater for the dining tent. Absolutely amazing time - really got away from it all an challenged myself with the altitude, terrain and weather conditions. Everything I could want from an adventure holiday.

This trek has been on my 'to do' list for over 15 years and boy was it worth it. What a fantastic adventure which I will never forget. I had a little extra time in Cuzco at the beginning and had a great time exploring this wonderful city. Loads of lovely churches and a cathedral to explore around Plaza de Armas, plus there was the Festival of the Sun happening the weekend after I arrived so there was lots of parades and colourful people about. It was great sampling coca tea for the first time in one of the many cafes around the Plaza. Then it was onto the main event - the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The trek was very challenging, but I loved every minute of it. The group I was with were all lovely people, the food was great, cooked up 3 times a day by the brilliant chef and the porters were superhuman carrying all our gear ahead of us and setting up lunch and evening camps. Our group leader, Julio and his second in command, Cesar also deserve a very special mention as they were excellent in every way.

One of the best experiences of my life. Thank you

Cusco is a good starting point as the capital city of the Inca empire there is lots to see. Good restaurants and a vibrant atmosphere add to the sense of anticipation ready for the trek. The four day trek was for me the highlight despite 24 hours of altitude sickness prior to setting off and a visit from the doctor. The Trail was for me challenging despite my level of fitness As i had not truely realised how the altitude would take my breath away. The struggle was more than worth it for the views and the cloud forest was fascinating. Throughout the trail we were well looked after well informed. My fellow travellers added to the sense of achievement and although busy Machu Picchu did not disappoint. All our guides and short team were excellent

Myself and my father embarked in a trip to Peru to hike the Inca Trail. It started with several days exploring Cusco where we were met by our guide Julio who gave us a quick tour and took us all to a restaurant. The next day we visited the Inca sites of Sacsayhuaman and Qenqo. These were very interesting a well worth our time. Then it was the start of the Inca trail! An early morning took us on a bus ride for several hours through Peru and the landscape was beautiful. The entire trail was wonderful I barely even noticed the altitude change until the day of Dead Womans Pass. Visiting all the Inca sites was brilliant and finishing at Maccu Piccu was an experience I won't forget!

This was my first experience of travelling outside Europe. I absolutely loved it and it has made me so excited to see the rest of the world. I met some really great people and it was so great to experience this with them.

A superb introduction to Peru. This was the first time we have used Exodus and we can’t wait to use them again. The trip way very professionally organised from start to finish. Cusco exceeded expectations...a surprisingly interesting city with lots to do and see during the day and a variety of good restaurants and bars. The group we were with were great fun and as well as having a common interest in the trip itself we soon realised we had a very similar sense of humour...which came in handy during periods of inevitable minor adversity. The Inca trail itself was perfectly planned with good food (no idea how the chefs did it really), porterage and general support. The walking was just challenging enough and the rewards in terms of scenery and sights were well worth it. Our guide, Julio, had the complete skill set...language skills,local network,man management and empathy with the group. He set expectations well throughout.

Well organised by Exodus. There were no hitches at all and everything was of a great standard. An excellent way to do something completely different which would otherwise involve a lot of organisation.

I cannot thank Smriti, Trehan, Rolando and especially Marcia our guide enough for a quite special experience. Exodus ticked all the boxes for a great adventure, thank you all.

This trip for me was unbelievable and Fascinating and incredibly informative all at the same time

I had a wonderful time in Peru and would recommend it to anyone. Our guide Tomas was friendly and so enthusiastic about the culture and history of this fascinating county. The Moonstone trek was incredible. Amazing views and feels like you have the mountains to yourself. Did not see any other tourists until the last day. It contains interesting Inca sites to explore along the way. Cannot recommend my guide Frank enough, he was encouraging and positive throughout. Enormous knowledge of the history and ecology of area. I suffered a devastating side effect of altitude, loss of appetite- but our talented chef Robert produced in a tent on a mountainside wonderful meals that kept me going strong. The trek is challenging at times but the sense of achievement when you reach the snow capped pass cannot be beaten. Machu Picchu lived up to the hype and was great to have a tour with Tomas then time to explore for yourself. Cusco is a busy town that you can spend hours wondering around, I was often alone for this and felt confident and safe to do so.

This trip was the most amazing thing I have ever done in my life!! It was tough but so rewarding and has inspired me to do more trips of this nature now.

It was the first time we toured with Exodus Travels and was one of the most marvellous trips I have ever taken. The scenery was breathtaking, the guide was outstanding, the trip organisation was beyond reproach, and the best thing I can add to that is that my wife and I are now planning our next holiday (possibly to Vietnam) with Exodus travels.

The best part about this trip was our wonderful guide Bobby. He is from the region and lives and breathes all things history. His enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge made this hiking adventure feel authentic, exciting, and more than 'just a walk'. The group of people we hiked with were fantastic, and the porters were second to none. I have never eaten so well at camp - although it helped that we didn't have to cook the food. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat, especially with Bobby as our guide.

A fantastic trip with excellent organisation. This was my first trip with Exodus following some recommendations from friends. I was very pleased with how smoothly it ran and with the experienced staff. I intend to book further adventures through Exodus.

Great trip - every aspect of the trek was well organised. This is a 6 day trip (not 11 as advertised since that includes 4 days of travelling/arriving plus 2 days where you have to do your own thing in Cuzco). The guide was really knowledgable and the trek was challenging but enjoyable. The support (porters, cook etc) are amazing. Suggest 4 season sleeping bag as a minimum.

A seasoned Exodus traveller, this holiday was the best so far! The trek was brilliantly organised, walking over 4 days, we arrived to see an almost empty Machiu Picchu. Our guide Reny was fabulous, and had a great knowledge of the trek and the Inca history. The group had a fantastic atmosphere. I would highly recommend this trek to all it was hard work but really really worth it.

A fantasic trip with some great sites of historic interest and great views.

The Inca Trail tour was the perfect organized group. We had 6 people in our group and 1 guide. It was the perfect number. Not too many, not too few. I originally picked the trip because of the itinerary; I liked that you had 2 opportunities to see Machu Picchu. That's a definite advantage. The first afternoon, when we arrived, it was cloudy and became more and more cloudy. But the 2nd day when we went back, it was a perfect blue sky day. The weather is always changing. The Trip Notes are accurate that you just have to dress in layers and be prepared to constantly remove and add layers. The hike is not easy. If anything, I might rate it a little more difficult. It's also hard to prepare for, especially if you live at sea level. The hike is a challenge for someone who exercises regularly, but our guide was very accommodating and gave us breaks as much as we needed. Still, we were always on schedule with where we needed to be. The altitude and lack of oxygen was probably the most difficult part. But it was all so worth it. And it feels great to accomplish something that you know you worked hard for.

This is a fantastic trip, it was well organised from start to finish, some of us were a day late arriving in Cuzco due a disruptive passenger having to be taking off the flight in an unscheduled stop, but the staff in London were really good at rearranging flights and keeping up to date with what was going on by email. Julio, the guide, was on hand at the hotel when we arrived to give us a tour of Cuzco in his own time, as we missed it the previous day. what made this trip really special was the other people on the trip, they were very friendly, and gave me lots of encouragement when walking up dead woman's pass, I found the walks very hard, but with help and lot of encouragement from Julio i made it.

I did The Inca Trail trip as a solo traveller and cannot recommend it enough! Our group, expertly managed by our Tour Leader Dennis and his second in command Javier, enjoyed everything this trip had to offer. From sightseeing and sampling wonderful local cuisine around Cusco to following the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, it was awe-inspiring each step of the way.

We did the Inca Trail trip with the optional Amazon extension. The whole trip start to finish was professionally managed by insightful and knowledgeable guides - the excellent Julio and Shandy. The rest of our group were lovely and we enjoyed their company on the trip immensely. The trail is reasonably hard for an experienced hiker because of the altitude but we were all encouraged by the guides to walk at our own pace which really made the trek up dead woman's pass a fun and enjoyable experience with a guide always behind us as a back marker never hurrying us. All the guidance received about the day ahead and advise on the trek from both guides was spot on they made our trip trouble free and a real adventure. The chef and porters were amazing hard working people and made the trip feel like luxury. Anyone wondering about whether to book this trip should just go ahead and book it! You won't regret it! You need to be 'half fit' for the hike to enjoy it and make the most of it. I cycled 15km 3 times a week and a longer ride once a week of about 50km and found that enough to make the hiking enjoyable and not too hard. The Amazon extension was very good and we enjoyed it. Coming from South Africa and being people who have been on safari several times meant that we were slightly under whelmed by the wildlife but all the same enjoyed the experience of being in the jungle.

What an amazing trip! I cannot thank the Exodus team enough. This really exceeded my expectations every Inca step of the way. The tour guide was amazing, the porter team could not have looked after us better, and the whole experience was fantastic. The trek is tough, but so rewarding. Getting to the top of dead woman's pass on day two made me feel like Superwoman! The country of Peru is so beautiful that the views brought tears to my eyes. I cannot recommend this trip enough - just book it and see!

The whole experience from beginning to the end was amazing. The experience was also made all the better having a guide like Mike Gamarra. His knowledge and passion for the Inca Trail and its history was unquestionable. He also brought us all closer as a group, and also made us all, including the chaskis, feel like a family. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

My first trek and first Exodus holiday and it couldn't have been better!

We did the 4 day Inca Trail and then the Amazon extension. Everything was very well organised and the trip was well explained. It was an amazing adventure from start to finish, and a real insight into the culture and history of Peru.

Everything about the trip was fantastic. Really well organized and put together. It was an amazing experience that I will always remember.

I had altitude sickness & only made it 6 miles on the Inca Trail. Nevertheless, the trip was a life-changing experience because I saw the majesty of Manchu Pichu, went horseback riding, learned some Spanish, ate well and saw Cusco in detail.

The trail was without doubt the most amazing thing I have ever done. An excellent group of people who quickly became good friends, the scenery, the physical challenge, the group leader, and particularly the food, all absolutely first class. Of particular help was the co-ordination of all the transfers and being met by someone helpful at each stage of the journey. We always felt we were in extremely safe hands.

An outstanding trip which exceeded all my expectations. From start to finish everything went like clockwork and was really well organised. The trail was amazing with breath taking views and a really interesting history lesson. The food was great whether is was cooked by the porters or at any of the restaurants we ate at.

A well organised and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Not intrustively rigid but with support should you need it.

A great trip with good company.

Amazing trip. Photos do not do the place justice and you have to see the 360 degree views for yourself and walk the trail to truly appreciate the magic of it all. There are some challenging elements on the walk but nothing too difficult but this just adds to the feeling of achievement once you finally reach the Sun Gate. Cusco is a wonderfully historic city, and the Sacred Valley and other local sites should also be visited to fully comprehend just what the Incas accomplished in such a short period of time. Highly recommended to anyone with a reasonable base of fitness and sense of adventure.

This is a fantastic trip! It was very well organised from start to finish, our guide Flaminia could not have been more organised and helpful. The trek was longer, hotter and more arduous than we expected, however, the whole group (of 13) succeeded in completing the whole trek. The 2nd day is the most challenging with a 1300 metre ascent with the heat and altitude affecting most people. The scenery was amazing with varied terrain from rivers to snow capped mountains. The camp sites were clean, tidy and well managed by the support crew and the food was excellent and plentiful!

What an amazing trip! I still cant quite believe I managed to walk up and down mountains for 4 days! It was very hard but so worthwhile - the views were breathtaking! This was my first solo adventure but I didnt feel solo - it was lovely to spend time with a positive, good-humoured group of people and I felt very taken care of and encouraged by our guide Raul and assistant guide Elizabeth.

The meeting of fellow travelers at the airport took the anxiety out of being a single traveler and being met by Raul the tour leader at our destination ,made for an excellent start to an exceptional holiday . I would recommend this experience to anybody with an ounce of adventure in their soul to grab their walking boots and walk in the footsteps of the ancient Incas, learning about their history as you go from the very informative guide.

Peru is a fantastic country to visit and the inca trail is a wonderful place to start. Unfortunately the guides we had were unable to support the group effectively.

This was a truely magnificent holiday, quite possibly/probably my greatest adventure yet. I loved every second of it, particularly the trek itself. Each corner gave us a new amazing view and another set of challenging stairs to climb (or descend).

Absolutely loved the entire experience.

A combined trip of the Inca trail followed up by a stay in the Peruvian Amazon

We had a couple of days aclimatisation in Cusco which was good. The Trail was hard but we were allowed to go at our own pace which created our own personal challenge. The porters were a great bunch, great food and banter. The group jelled well under the leadership of Rolando. The 10 hour coach trip to Puno went quickly due to frequent interesting stops. Lake Titikaka was an inspiration and the president of the floating island was a great laugh. The afternoon trip to the burial mounds was ok but could have been more interesting.

This is an excellent trek through the lush, green mountains of the Andes. Our guide, Willmer, was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable, he answered all our questions and nothing was too much trouble for him or his team of porters. The pace was leisurely with some steep climbs, there was no pressure or hurry to get to the top.

Overall a fantastic, well-organised trip with pre-colombian Peruvian culture at its heart. Lots of lovely food, culture, people. The people are very laid back, which makes it very easy to leave behind the 'developed world' urgency and enjoy a great trekking/sight-seeing holiday.

This was the most enjoyable trip we have ever taken. We were fortunate enough to have a group of like minded people, all of whom have become friends. The trip was well executed from the original booking to final day. The information supplied both prior, and during, was excellent, with any questions being responded to fully and timely. An excellent holiday, one we will never forget. Thank you

Best holiday I've been on Peru, what can I say It was an amazing trip (apart from the flying). Peru is an absolutely brilliant country. The colours and vibrancy around Cusco was amazing. Giving everyone a free day to explore was a brilliant. Cusco is such a historic town. The actual moonstone trek was a hikers parAdise. Not another touring group was seen for days. The sight including the historical values of it all was amazing, and can not be put into words. This was no means an easy hike, but the rewards at the end was amazing. Going into Machu Pichu, and rejoining civilisation was an open opener, and this part of the event was very crowded

From the start our guide was informative and prepared us for the Inca Trail. The Sacred Valley trip was worth doing the day before the trek started too. The porters were always at hand, we were looked after incredibly well with fresh food and enough to keep energy levels up. The scenery was stunning and worth the trek to Machu Picchu. All along the way our guide gave us information on the plants, area and ruins we passed through. At times, when the altitude made walking up steep paths more difficult, we could take our time without any pressure.

A fantastically organised trip where every detail had been though of, planned for and executed well. The walking route was well structured to make it as simple and pleasant as possible.
