Experiencia fabulosa
Una experiencia única, fabulosa, difÃcil pero vale la pena. La vista todos los dÃas nos despierta con un desafió distinto y fue mi deber levantarme y enfrentarlo. Que gratificante. Dichosa de poder vivirla. 4 dÃas de pura vida natural. La comida, la gente. Momentos de esos que no sabes si puedes repetir y que jamas…

The trail was ‘Peruvian flat’
I did the four day, three night Inca Trail trek and I loved it ! This was my first time in the Andes and it was absolutely incredible. The vistas were breathtaking — steep mountains that pierced the clouds, lush greenery, and historic ruins. The trail itself was challenging, with long, steep climbs and descents.…

The terrific trek

Our guides Edwin and Jimmy were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and they managed a scattered group excellently. We got very lucky with gorgeous weather so we got to experience majestic views almost non…

The hike itself is very challenging at times but the views at the end of each day are unparalleled. For anyone afraid it will be too physically strenuous, breaks and checkpoints…

My first world wonder did not come easy
10 of us just finished an epic trip on the Inca Trail – it would have been infinitely harder if it weren\’t for the guides, staff and porters having our back along the way. Our group was a good mix of beginners and advanced and our group catered to everyone. The food was also amazing,…

Inca gill :-)
When I booked onto the Inca Trail I was unsure what to expect… Would I make it to the top? Would altitude sickness get me? Would I like the group? And would I cope with roughing it? Well I did make it to Machu Picchu and it was amazing as was the journey (despite the…

Mr. Michael
The start of this adventure was filled with wonder and anticipation. We met with our fellow adventurers in our trek meeting at the Inca Trail Reservations office in Cusco. The explanation of what we could expect was explained. We started off at 5:30 am carrying our bags to the coach where we eventually picked up…
