    Victor is awesome

    It was an adventure. So beautiful nature, the trek was challenging and worth it. The small group made us closer instead of many people in the group. Victor, our guide, was amazing. He had so much knowledge and did not hesitate to answer the questions posed. Thank you. Great experience. Good food, traditional Peruvian. The…

    My legs burn but it is well worth it

    It was an amazing experience. I really had no clue what to expect as I am not big into hiking or anything that take a whole lot of physical effort for that matter. Our guide Victor at the pre-tour session was really great at helping me set aside any anxiety and answered all the questions…

    Inca Trail is a beautiful but physicall abusive mistress !

    4 day Inca Trail hike was a great experience and provided unmatched scenery and insight into the Inca culture and history. The trail hike itself is very physically challenging, but as long as you go at your own pace most everyone can do it ! The briefing provides very good insight into the expected hiking…

Our group was nice and petit, which was a distinct positive given that after 4 days sleeping in the Horseshit Field of…

  • Hipster hikers and learning to pack

    Leave all hope for a solitary walk through the jungles and ancient ruins in whatever Belgian university cafe you first planned this trip in. It was arduous but not incredibly so; I saw a grown man hike for 5 days wearing ball-tight skinny jeans just large enough for his \”equipment\” and a pack of Lucky…

  • Backpacks and blisters

    Sleeping bags. Hiking boots. Tents. No showers. If these are things you aren\’t used to then this is probably not the trek for you. I have never slept in a sleeping bag and have never not showered for four days but the trek on the Salkantay trail was one of the most rewarding adventures that…

  • Beautiful scenery

    I very much enjoyed the trek. A great group and a great guide ! The uphill on the second day was a killer, but worth it at the top – a most spectacular view ! The different scenery we walked through was beautiful and our knowledgeable guide made it all the better by informing us…

  • A$$ kicking

    I loved my trek ! Carlos was amazing and very passionate about his tour. We loved the intensity and views of all the different points. There was plenty to see along the way. Our group was a great group and we all had a lot of fun. I would recommend this trek to anyone that…
