    I had a great time on the Inca Trail . Our guide Raul, was great. He was funny, informative and good to talk to. He would let everyone go at their own pace, and just tell us when the next point to regroup was, so that we could take pictures or he would tell us…

    Gringo trail

    So choosing the right company can be a hard task. I\’ve heard both of good and bad trips. For me, choosing Inca Trail Reservations was the absolute right thing for me !
