    Inca Trail hike

    Everyone told me this would be a trip of a lifetime. It was. Words cannot describe what the Inca Trail contains. The sights along the whole trail are breathtaking. The culture that the locals have is inspiring. Machu Picchu is the goal but the hike is the most memorable. I was told this hike would…

    Inca Trail with hummingbird

    First off, Manuel was the greatest guide, calling us \”campeones\” the whole way. We appreciated his guidance. This trek was one of the hardest walks I have done and I feel accomplished making it to the peak and down again. Day one was a good warm up. Day two was difficult as we climbed most…

    Patrick’s Inca Trail

    Overall, the trip was great. The timing of everything, i.e. the breaks, meals, wake-up was very well coordinated. The meals were very nourishing and the cooks did a great job. Everything was setup when we would arrive at camp. The only point I would make is to indicate on the website or when sign-up takes…

    Sexy llama

    Well this has been hands down the best experience of my life. Aside from the obvious beauty of the Andes and the Inca sites, Manuel and the porters made this experience so much more. The food from Alejandro was amazing and the strength of his team was equally as impressive. This has changed me in…

    Salkantay

    This was a great adventure for me, as I was feeling to sick for the altitude, I needed to take the horse ride up to the top. Nevertheless, the narrow path and ridding on my own was a nice adventure also. The last part of the climbing given that I was feeling well, I just…

    Salkantay Trek

    The Salkantay hike was great, I really enjoyed the experience. From the hot tea in the morning to our dinner, every day was enjoyable. We were treated really well, and the food was delicious. The trek was a challenge, but definitely worth the pain. The change in landscapes and topography was truly incredible. Even though…

    Salkantay

    The trek was very beautiful and the support services were great. Some highlights were having all my belongings carried by horse, tea served to the tent in the morning, and having the tent in a shelter for the very cold night (making it much warmer in the tent)!!! The guide was knowledgeable of the area…

    Viaje Salkantay

    Levantarse a las 5.20 de la mañana, en mis vacaciones podría sonar como una tortura, pero esto fue muy lejano de la realidad, cuando te levantan con una rica taza de mate calientito y cuando sabes que te espera un día maravilloso, te levantas con gusto y entusiasmo. Detalles y mas detalles, la experiencia estuvo…
