    Incredible from start to finish

    5 am wake up calls (?!). Dirt under your nails for days. Hours of hiking on sore ankles (cankles?). Wouldn\’t change a single thing – the entire experience from start to finish was incredible, and the company did an amazing job taking care of the group and making it a memorable journey. I highly recommend…

    What a wonderful experience !

    I can\’t say enough good things about my trip with Inca Trail Reservations . First, the guides and porters were fantastic. The guides were always patient with us – hiking , explaining the history, practicing Spanish, etc. Gerson, Marco and Pepe were hilarious. The porters are so hard working and the food was wonderful. We…

The guides exceed every expectation. The food is delicious, but I do wish there was more protein for muscle recovery. The camps they chose are ideal. Be…

    Wonderful time

    I had an absolutely amazing four days. I started out the trek wishing it was day four so that I could already be at Machu Picchu, but after the first day I was hoping that the trek would last even longer. From climbing various mountains to evening dinners to seeing double rainbows, our group had…

The group provided excellent pre-trip information that helped me to feel way more prepared to leave. The prior day orientation was also excellent and helped me with the last minute preparation, including…
