Epic experience

Now, where to start? The experience of the Inca Trail is a very very memorable one. It is very hard work but overall so worth it to reach the end. The first day is just a tease of what is in store for the following 3 days. The 2nd day is by far the hardest and was very much a ... Continue Reading

The road that was hell-Dorado

The 4 day Inca Trail trek was the hardest adventure I have done so far in my life. The climbs were steep and lacking air made it nearly impossible to continue, the downs jolted my bones and reverberated through my whole body. The weather was sporadic and hard to dress too without having to stop and change every 10 meters. ... Continue Reading

Great tour and unbelievably good food

With Americo as a guide and Damian as a cook we definitely had the best tour ! The food was unbelievable and Americo a great guide. We preferred explanations in Spanish and so he explained everything twice in Spanish and in English !
The itinerary was really good, just one improvement (in my opinion) would be to walk to ... Continue Reading

Inka Trail for the win

Such a great experience ! I would recommend everyone to walk the Inca Trail before visiting Machu Picchu. Beautiful views, though trekking, great Peru history, a lot of rain and much fun ! I had not expected the trail to be this hard, and I cannot describe how happy I am for my squat-work out before going to Peru.

Ending my backpacking adventure on a high !

After travelling the world for the past five months, I decided to finish my adventure on a high (literally) the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu before heading home to London. I have a little bit of experience with hiking but this was my first time hiking at altitude and over a period of days rather than hours. Victor, our tour ... Continue Reading

Very much worth it

Despite some rainy, cold moments, the trek was very much worth it. Make sure you're in good shape for the 4-day trek because there will be some pretty harsh segments. Luckily there's plenty of coca tea available during the eating moments to ease the pain of the altitude-sick.
Unexpectedly, but happily we had some of the best food we ... Continue Reading

What an awesome trek ! Our guide was so helpful and kept us going even in the most difficult parts. Also a special thanks to all our porters... without them, this trek would not be possible. All my respect for them.
The first day was relatively easy, with some uphill, flat and downhill parts. Also saw some beautiful ... Continue Reading
