The hike and the entire crew were great! We really enjoyed victor's knowledge of the inca and Quechua people enhanced our experience.
I think the only improvement is possibly we needed to carry our sleeping pads. Orr than that the food was surprisingly better than I expected. The cook always tried to class up our camp food which was ... Continue Reading
This was my first trek in South America and I had been looking forward to it for three years. Booking the reservations was an easy experience, aside from of course the long lead time required to make the booking.
After the booking we received several emails explaining the process and expectations to help guide us to ensure we had ... Continue Reading

The trip started very early with the bus that came to pick us up from our hostel which was nice.
The first day was hard but fun. I really liked the many stops and how it was considered 'training' for the second day. I wish I had known how hard the trek actually was because that might have influenced ... Continue Reading
This was easily the most challenging experience of my life. I suffered through altitude sickness and dehydration. It was completely worth it. It was such a gift for Victor to share his country with us. He was one of the most knowledgable tour guides I could have asked for. The porters took care of us in more ways than I ...

We started this adventure as a group of 15 people with Chachi and Elis and ended as a "family" :-)
I liked the way they tried to build up this group with this family spirit.
For me this trail trip was a good experience and I enjoyed to be in the Peruvian nature.
