    Potatoes, Slowpokes, and Ruins Galore!

    While this was one of the most challenging things, I have done, Inca Trail Reservations made it clear and easy. Aside from a somewhat hasty orientation, everything was well planned, and since there were a lot of cities and modes of transportation, that made it so much easier for us. In terms of trek itself,…

    Snake Way

    This was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my life!. I have vertigo and during day three I was terrified; looking down the side of a mountain can take your breath away both figuratively and literally. One portion of the trail reminded me of Snake Way from the Dragon Ball series and…

    Pushing Past My Limits

    Hiking the Inca Trail was an amazing experience. It pushed me to my limits but made me realize what I am capable of doing. Victor, our guide, was fantastic, supportive, funny, and passionate about Incan history. The cook and porters made the experience less rugged; the food was impressive and the porters were motivational as…

    Amazing Trip!

    Wow. The Inca Trail has left me absolutely speechless. It was paced really well- getting to experience different environments each day while still covering several miles was awesome. The first day got you acclimated for a rigorous and scenic hike up Dead Womans Pass on the second. The third day offered up a unique oppurtunity…

    Very Great Trip!

The best day was day 3 because of the amount of ruins and its relativo ease compares to the day before. Camps…

    Höhen und Tiefen nicht nur im Sinne von Bergen

    Der Salkantay ist ein wunderschöner Wanderweg zum Machu Pichu. Die ersten zwei Tage verliefen bestens, leider hatte mein Magen im zweiten Basiscamp etwas an der schönen Tour auszusetzen, sodass ich in der Nacht zum 3 Tag stark erleichtert wurde. Starken Geistes bin ich am 3 Tag die 15 km mitgewandert und habe auf alle Essenseinheiten…

    Jorge for President!

    My girlfriend and I signed up for this trek not fully knowing what to expect. Well, we learned quickly that this was a challenging, yet rewarding experience. You truly get a taste of the Peruvian culture. We were lucky enough to be blessed with an amazing guide, Jorge who was able to answer our questions…

    Perfeito😃

    Eu esperava que o tour fosse muito bom, e no final foi melhor que eu esperava. O guia Jorge foi muito atencioso e prestativo. No final o grupo inteiro se torn ou uma familia, inclusive o guia. Todos nos divertimos bastante e superamos so desafios juntos. Um de nós passou mal por uma infecção de…
