4 Day Inca Trail Trek, April 2025
Inca Trail Reservations delivered a top rate experience for us on our classic, 4 day Inca Trail trek. Maria took care of all of our reservations, including travel transfers to and from the airport and train stations. Our guide on the trail, Manuel, is a seasoned Inca Trail veteran. His knowledge of the trail, and the Incan culture and history that it represents, as well as his passion made our trek awesome. He was a very zen leader, letting each of us find his pace, while still checking in to be sure we were okay. The chef and the porters provided excellent, delicious, hot meals and snacks, and did all of the hard work of setting up and breaking down camp–all with a happy and joyful energy that made us feel like welcome guests. If you are thinking of an Inca Trail experience, I highly recommend that you put yourself in the hands of Inca Trail Reservations!

7 Day Machu Picchu, April 2024
Inca Trail was so amazing at planning and executing every part of the yoga retreat that I attended – all of their selections for accommodations, foods, destinations, and transportation were spot on and went so smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing for our packed 7-day itinerary – and I feel like that kind of service, organization, and knowledge is so rare these days. I also want to give the biggest shout out to our amazing tour guide, Eirton – he was super knowledgeable, incredibly kind and patient, and just a joy to be the one to lead us around the Sacred Valley and Cusco. Looking forward to my next adventure with Inca Trail Reservations!
