the 4 day Inca Trail experience

When my friends and I were looking online to make an Inca Trail reservations, we came across your company. Your website does a good job describing the 4 day Inca Trail experience. The only thing that I´d recommend for the website is a section describing the porter/guide tip; we did not know the proper amount of soles to give.

The Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience

The Salkantay Trek was an amazing experience; one that I will take with me for the rest of my life. The first thing you need to know about this trek is that it is an extremely demanding trek. You will need lots of warm clothes and will definitely need to acclimatize to the high altitude.

The Salkantay trek was great

The Salkantay trek was great. The trek was slightly difficult, but it was an awesome experience. One of the greatest days I believe was the second day. On this day we hiked up towards the Salkantay mountain. I have to say hiking up towards the mountain definitely keeps your lungs at a struggle, but the feeling of accomplishment is priceless. ...

It was earned. Through the four day trek with Inca Trail Reservations I had the chance to catch a real glimpse of what the ... Continue Reading

My husband and I hiked the Inca Trail for our honeymoon and it was one of those amazing things that you do in your life that you probably don´t need to do again. We were in moderate physical shape but we definitely could have prepared more. It was challenging but worth the effort. Our group was small, 6 people, and ... Continue Reading

I was able to rent a warm sleeping bag and the company provided us with comfortable mats and dry, warm tents. They were quick to help arrange flights and other tours in ... Continue Reading
