And so many steps, especially the Gringo Killer steps, they were so hard ! We started out hiking Inca flats the 1st day, 2nd day were all the steps going up to ... Continue Reading

Entertaining experience

The Inca Trail was awesome ! Yes, it was challenging with endless stair cases, steep climbs and not very flat "Inca flats", however, the hike was overall very rewarding. When you are surrounded by adventurous gringos representing various parts of the world who make the entire experience entertaining you almost forget about how many more stairs you have to climb ...

We had an awesome group. Lots of fun and jokes ! Great hike and a lot of laughs in the camps at the end of ... Continue Reading

De nada, de nada

Thank you for the unforgettable adventure ! I had the best time during my trek of the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. I found the company Inca Trail Reservations great to work with, which was important for me as I was communicating my booking via email from New Zealand. There was also a very useful pre-trip meeting in Cusco where ... Continue Reading

Kiwis on tour

Not the easiest thing I have ever done but well worth the effort. Hiking down from the Sun Gate to Machu Picchu on the final day you definitely feel like you have achieved something and have the right to look down on the day trippers. We were incredibly lucky with both the weather and the people we had in our ... Continue Reading

Laughing with friends is even easier. The porters were amazing, friendly, and quick on the feet. Always to leave last and arrive first. More than willing to help and cheer us on ... Continue Reading

Chicos, please

So stoked to have survived the Inca Trail ! Be prepared for a tough tramp but also a great time. The tour was incredibly awesome, great guides and people and the porters are champions. Also have legs of steel now which I'm not complaining about.
Second day is probably the hardest, lots of uphill so practice those squats and ... Continue Reading

The whole group ... Continue Reading
