Incas trail

I am glad the I had this opportunity to join the 4 days classic Inca's Trail. We had two wonderful tour guides in our group. They had lots of patience and responsibilities. They took care of us so much that our trip ended very nicely.
After this trip, I will still consider of joining another tour that's organized by ... Continue Reading

Machu Picchu Inka Trail

My father had this plan - to take me on the Inca Trail when I was 14 years old. In July 2014 the time had come and we did the trail together - my father and I. I think I will tell this still to my grandchildren.
Although the second day was really hard work and sometimes I couldn't ... Continue Reading

Inca Trail 4 days

I did the 4 day, 3 night Inca Trail and I absolutely loved it. From the trail to the porters to the people. But if I could change something, it would be the length of speaking time from the tour guides. They over spoke just a tad. Other than that I absolutely loved the environment they had provided and the ... Continue Reading

Inca Trail adventure

Me and a friend decided to do the trek at the beginning of this year; while searching for companies, Inca Trail Reservations was the site that popped up the most, so after a little bit of research, we decided to go with it. In all honesty, I'm glad we did.
The guides did a wonderful job at creating a ... Continue Reading

Inca Trail

I needed a challenge, so I texted my daughter : you want to go to Peru? She answered : I have always wanted to do that trip! I told her : we have to hurry because I am not getting any younger, I am 65 years old. We left 6 months later to do the Inca Trail trek to Machu ... Continue Reading

Incredible Inca Trail

What an awesome experience. From the beginning our guide Manuel was very thoughtful and patient. All the team made sure we had everything we needed to go through the hardest parts of the trek. The road was long and hard, but with the encouragements of our guides, and the smart planning, we made it!
The food was very good ... Continue Reading

Love life on the Inca Trail

I truly enjoyed my experience on the Inca Trail! My four day three nights adventure was a once in a life time opportunity.
From walking over mountains, through the rainforest and most importantly through the clouds, viewing glaciers, dining in our tent, being waited on hand and foot by our porters and humored by our guides, it was without ... Continue Reading

Best trip ever

I had such an amazing time, a four day three night adventure is something I will never forget!
From a nice easy start on day 1, followed by a 5 hour uphill hike on day 2 with an easy 2 hours trek down, followed by a rough nights sleep in the freezing cold on day 2, day 3 brought ... Continue Reading

Machu Picchu 4 day 3 night trek

This was by far the best adventure I have ever taken part in! From start to finish everything was simply amazing. I have seen so many amazing views that I would not have observed otherwise - the glaciers, the rainforests, Dead Woman's Pass - simply breathtaking!
Arriving to the Sun Gate took my breath away. That first view ... Continue Reading

Mount Doom

The adventure was very rewarding but very hard. I was very prepared equipment wise but my physical strength and stamina was not up to par. The first day was not too bad.
The trek was mild but it was very unfortunate that it rained hard. It got humid and very hot. Walking around was difficult and slippery. Second ... Continue Reading

Machu Picchu

I really enjoyed the 4 day 3 night Inca Trail. We first met with our guide the night before our departure for a briefing of the trip ahead.
We were collected from our hostel at 5.30 am Tuesday morning. The first day of trekking was easy to moderate. The 2nd day we started trekking at 5.30 am. This ... Continue Reading

Machu Picchu adventures

I had a fantastic time on the Inca Trail this July! I chose to spend 4 days, 3 nights out there and it turned out to be the perfect amount of time as far as distance hiked per day and the time spent 'roughing' it in the wilderness.
The second day on the trail was by far the most ... Continue Reading

Fun in the sun

The hike with Inca Trail Reservations was overall a great experience. The place was very accommodating for all parties and the food, sights, and company were very enjoyable. I am unsure of the limitations / restrictions for national parks in Peru, but more time and freedom to explore the sights would have been appreciated.
Day 2 was very difficult ... Continue Reading
