    Epic race to the end….

    This was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide was amazing, he was not only knowledgeable about the history of inca sites, but managed everyone\’s speed across the 4 days. He looked after us when we were sick and gave us natural remedies. I had a lot of fun on…

    Happy Xmas Machu Picchu

    This company was recommended to me by a friend, and I have heard great things. I was at first nervous about doing this trail since I have never camped before. But the company explained the itinerary in detail and answered all my questions which gave me comfort. The guide Juan Carlos made me and the…

    Der Inkatrail war eine mentale und physische Herausforderung, die sich gelohnt hat. Zu den abwechslungsreichen (oft sehr steinigen) Wegen hinzu kommt viel Geschichte über die Inkas und ihre Lebensweise. Wer sich dafür interessiert ist auf diesem Trip super aufgehoben. Inca Trail Reservations ist dabei super organisiert. Die Porters leisten mit ihrer Trägerarbeit unglaubliches und der…

We were very fortunate with our fellow travellers, who were all interesting people to spend time with. The food was excellent, the campsites were in beautiful locations, if a…

    I awoke from a twisted slumber; a point of irritation on every limb, a fight for survival from the most ancient of creatures reminded me of the truth of our adventure: we were not the only ones partying on the mountainsides near Machu Picchu. Gnats are everywhere and they hate you. Inca Trail\’s \”Salkantay trek\”…

    This was a wonderful experience, with a great guide, horseman and cooks. The campsites were very good, although the the last one was noisy from music and shouting, which was not good as we had a very early start. Carlos made the whole experience so enjoyable. He was very caring and looked after all of…

    Our Salkantay Trek was fantastic, a really brilliant experience. Carlos was an amazing guide, friendly, enthusiastic and very well informed about the flora, fauna and culture of everything that we saw. He really looked after us (Along with the other support staff, who were also great) – he made our experience fun and truly enjoyable.…
