No rain no pain
Just finished a 3 night 4 day trek with Inca Trail Reservations and loved every bit of it. It is certainly tough and should not be taken on lightly but unlike a lot of treks the history along keeps you impelled and intrigued. You have to be very careful on the trek in rainy season as the path becomes very ... Continue Reading →
A personal experience
It all started with a briefing on the night before the hike to inform us the requirements and the plan for the trip. After signing the disclaimer I must admit it was a little scary thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong. However, Victor re-assured us that if we take our time and keep focused everything will ... Continue Reading →
Turtle team in Machu Picchu
O passeio foi sensacional. A agencia de turismo me buscou no hostel. Foram passando em otros hostels para buscar outras pessoas. Éramos: eu (brasileño), duas colombianas, um Casal holandés, um americano e um australiano. Tinham dois guÃas acompañando Nosa trilha, então um explicava as historias em ingles e o outro em español, assim todos ouviamos como preferÃamos.
Toda a ... Continue Reading →
Overwhelming sceneries
The Machu Picchu trip was tiring bonding, thrilling and very satisfying. I've done different trips in different countries, but the sceneries I've seen here were overwhelming. The feeling of ending a trip well organized with our guides, porters and cook and the friends made on the way is great.
Coming home twice a day in the tent set up ... Continue Reading →
Extreme nightmare turtles the best
Hello, I have survived, yeaaa, todo comenzó con una idea loca de hacer el Inca Trail, de ganas de sufrir en palabras de otras personas porque holidays y having fun no es caminar por 4 dÃas. Sin embargo, que puedo decir, ha sido una experiencia maravillosa y excitante.
Los paisajes, bosques montanos, encontrarse con la madre naturaleza, conocer más ... Continue Reading →
Do not look up !
The first time I experienced Machu Picchu was seven years ago by train only. If you're thinking about visiting, I highly suggest trading the train experience, and doing the four day trek with Inca Trail Reservations. Considering this was my first multi-day trek, and at a high altitude, I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it.
By the end of ... Continue Reading →
Inca Trail turtles
My compliments to the porters and Victor and Francis. Everything was above my expectations. Excellent food. Tents well prepared. Wake up tea in the morning. Even tables and chairs in a real dining place. The whole climbing and walk was a challenge for me and exhausting. But the reward was Machu Picchu and the huge mountains surrounding it.
Many ... Continue Reading →

Wandering a Wonder of the World
I started this trip not being too sure of what to expect. I can say honestly that I was quite unprepared, and not even sure of my own itinerary. However upon arriving in Cusco, Inca Trail Reservations were very well organised, informative and helpful. As soon as we arrived in their office, they informed us of our itinerary for the ...

Shorty who finished the hike
This was definitely one of the most amazing and memorable trips I have completed in my life. This was actually my first: hike, sleeping in a tent, not showering for a few days and continuously walking four days straight without Internet.
The first day was more difficult than expected due to carrying my pack. However, second day was most ... Continue Reading →
