    Pleasing environment

    Professional and organized tour operation. Raul was a very patient, attentive and mesmerizing guide. He held my hand in the scary bits and always had extra tissues when it was cold. The cooks made delicious meals with elaborate decorations. Nothing better than a vegetable turtle to greet you after 12 km of hiking in rain.…

    Salkantay 5 day

    I had an amazing meet with the mountains. At the start we had rain, but it was not really cold. The first day was beautiful, but I was tired. The second day with the trek to Salkantay mountain was great, an adventure. On the Salkantay pass was really cold and snowy. On the downhill we…

  • Haku Haku Machu Picchu

    The last time I went on an overnight hike was over 10 years ago. I was a little apprehensive to do the Inca Trail hike because I heard that it wasn\’t easy to complete. Now after 4 days, through sunshine, cold weather, heavy rainfall and hail I feel it is worth every bit. The Inca…

    Walking an ancient trail

    On the Inca Trail I was exposed to the culture of Peru. It was an amazing experience that tested me to the core. The scenery and ruins were incredibly beautiful and well worth the while. It was amazing how the porters would clear up after we left then run past us and set up for…

    Inkan delight

    Food glorious food. I thought I would be losing weight on this adventure but Inca Trail Reservations put on an excellent banquet every lunch and dinner. Breakfast wasn\’t that bad either. Every meal seemed to have different dishes from Peru. Amazing how the best food eaten in Peru was on this tour at the remote…
