    An experience of a lifetime

    As a first time lone traveler at the young age of 22, I was initially nervous about what to expect on my journey. However, after meeting my guides and tour group, I couldn\’t have felt more at home. Though physically demanding at times, this trek proved to be more beautiful and self-fulfilling than I could…

    Peru 2015

    This trek certainly would have been 5 stars had it not been for a few factors. Namely, the hiking level of the trekkers was vastly different, which led to a horrible mismatch in timing. I realize that this is not a fault of the trek organizers per se, but in the future, it may be…

    Amazing trek

    The Inca Trail has been on my traveling agenda for some years. The Inca Trail Reservations company and in particular the diligent staff that accompanied us throughout the four day hike made the adventure one hell of an experience. Personally the trek itself was not as strenuous as the guide books described it. The only…

    Who laughs when climbing 4000 ft ?

    Our group did. What an amazing adventure that pushes someone who isn\’t a hiker to do what they thought they could never do. We couldn\’t have done it without the guidance of Paul. Extremely knowledgeable, funny, personable, all while caring for all of us. He set the expectations for each day, and at important spots…

    We conquered the trail

    I would not have wanted the trip any other way. Our guides and porters were amazing. I enjoyed the fact that several nationalities were represented in our group. Even though our group included 5 of my best friends, we grew close to the Swedish men that accompanied us. It was fun to compare backgrounds and…

    Where’s James ?

    Originally, I thought that this would be a casual stroll with a backpack through the jungle. I couldn\’t have been more wrong. The trip was very physically demanding especially the second day. The food was great throughout the trip and each meal seemed to never end. The guides and porters were more than enjoyable. Also,…

    Rewarding hike

    I enjoyed the time that I had on the trip. The staff was very helpful, and we\’re very helpful for us. My favorite memory was completing the entire Inca Trail in 3 days instead of 4. We had to do this because a campsite was closed due to weather. We had to hike for a…

    Fake European

    Didn\’t quite know what to expect on the trail but everything was incredible. The trail and the stories were great but my favorite part was the blending of many nationalities and cultures. I have never really spent so much time in close quarters with people from different countries. One of the guys in our group…

  • Amazing view trip

    My Inca experience was awesome, I think the guide made it much better. I think we where a fun group, all the guys clicked and we really had a lot of fun moments. The Dead Woman\’s Pass was the hardest climb on the trip, but when you got up there it was totally worth it.…
