    Machu Pikachu

    Our guide was amazing, food was great. Lots of steps so be ready! The ruins along the way were amazing. Low on tourists as compared to Machu Pichuu so worth it if you want to get some unique pics without the crowds. Our guide did everything to take care of us and was very knowledgeable…

    So Mach-u fun!!

    So I was definitely unsure about doing a trek of this intensity. Im not a great hiker and I dont camp much. But as soon as my girlfriend and I met Cesar, we were much more at ease about the trip. Two days later, we were summiting dead womans pass! I had an incredible time…

    Alquist

    Awesome trip. A once in a lifetime experience. Great trek. Definitely need to be fit to walk up and down mountains for 10 kilometers a day for 4 days. But felt huge achievement when finally reaching Machu Picchu. I\’d recommend this trek and with this company every time. The sights and scenery are pretty hard…

    I don’t like rock staircases anymore

    First off thank you! I may really hate rock staircases and mountains right now, but I had a wonderful trail experience. I think I even felt a bit pampered! The cook was amazing and the porters were hard working. The guides were funny, kind, informed, and encouraging. Their pep talks and smiles on the trail…

    Once in a lifetime! No, seriously, just once.

    I have never been on a hike so physically exhausting and yet so rewarding. I would not have appreciated Machu Picchu as much as I did if I hadn\’t hiked a marathon first. It was somewhat spiritual to walk the same steps that the Incas did 500 years ago. Although there were some hurdles massive,…
