The mega Machu mountain

An amazing 5 day trek. Far cheaper than the Inca Trail and much more to see and experience ranging from hot springs to quaint traditional Peruvian villages and, for the adrenaline junkys, some zip lining 300m across the raging rivers below.
Highly impressed from the start - great communication and help from the company in organising the trip. The ... Continue Reading

Hands down best Incan experience

There aren't any pictures or words that could capture the majesty of the ceremonial Inca trail. These four days were one of the most rewarding of my entire life. The guide was accommodating to all needs. The food was the best we had in Peru. There will be some challenges and nature may not be kind. But, watch the amazing ... Continue Reading

Wonderful trek experience !

We were a part of a 15 person group and had porters for each of us to help with the equipment and our belongings. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and very patient with our group of 15. We had people of all experience levels and did not feel pressured to be quick or slow down during the trek.
We ... Continue Reading

Experiencia fabulosa

Una experiencia única, fabulosa, difícil pero vale la pena. La vista todos los días nos despierta con un desafió distinto y fue mi deber levantarme y enfrentarlo. Que gratificante. Dichosa de poder vivirla. 4 días de pura vida natural. La comida, la gente. Momentos de esos que no sabes si puedes repetir y que jamas olvidare.
Gracias a todos. ... Continue Reading

The trail was ‘Peruvian flat’

I did the four day, three night Inca Trail trek and I loved it ! This was my first time in the Andes and it was absolutely incredible. The vistas were breathtaking -- steep mountains that pierced the clouds, lush greenery, and historic ruins.
The trail itself was challenging, with long, steep climbs and descents. There were lots and ... Continue Reading

The terrific trek

When we came to Peru I expected to reconnect with old friends, but didn't know I'd make so many new ones ! Our guides Edwin and Jimmy were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and they managed a scattered group excellently. We got very lucky with gorgeous weather so we got to experience majestic views almost non stop !
The hike ... Continue Reading

Never knew how much I hated going downhill

Actually, I always knew, but I never hated it more than on this trip (pro tip: train for stairs, especially steep ones). Although it was one of the hardest and longest treks I've ever done, it was so worth it in the end, especially with the help of our amazing guides Edwin and Jimmy and all the porters and cook. ...

Blood, sweat, and tears… of happiness

The hike was the most physically strenuous thing I have ever done in my life but also the most rewarding experience of my life.
The hike itself is very challenging at times but the views at the end of each day are unparalleled. For anyone afraid it will be too physically strenuous, breaks and checkpoints are frequent and you ... Continue Reading

Inca Trail > bus

We came into Peru only seeing pictures of Machu Picchu. We also had no idea what we would see at the Inca Trail. We were absolutely blown away.
The sights were beyond anything I have seen and the services provided by our guides and porters were top notch. Not to mention the food that was made blew our minds ... Continue Reading

My first world wonder did not come easy

10 of us just finished an epic trip on the Inca Trail - it would have been infinitely harder if it weren't for the guides, staff and porters having our back along the way. Our group was a good mix of beginners and advanced and our group catered to everyone.
The food was also amazing, among the best I've ... Continue Reading

Inca gill :-)

When I booked onto the Inca Trail I was unsure what to expect... Would I make it to the top? Would altitude sickness get me? Would I like the group? And would I cope with roughing it? Well I did make it to Machu Picchu and it was amazing as was the journey (despite the ten zillion steps up and ... Continue Reading

Mr. Michael

The start of this adventure was filled with wonder and anticipation. We met with our fellow adventurers in our trek meeting at the Inca Trail Reservations office in Cusco. The explanation of what we could expect was explained. We started off at 5:30 am carrying our bags to the coach where we eventually picked up all the trekkers and porters. ... Continue Reading
