    Inca trail experience!

    My experience with Inca Trail Reservations has been amazing! Before the trail started I didn\’t really know what to expect, the only thing I knew I wanted from it was to see Machu Picchu at the end! The trail turned out to be a fantastic trip, starting relatively easy day one with the knowledge that…

    Maravillosa experiencia

    Maravillosa experiencia. Desde nuestra reunión en Cusco, Víctor y Marco nos brindaron una atención excelente. Aclararon todas nuestras dudas sobre la aventura. El primer día de caminata fue relajado con subidas y bajadas suaves para acostumbrarnos al camino. El segundo día (más duro), la caminata dura aproximadamente 7 horas y es bastante fuerte. Las pendientes…
