    Incadible!

    We really enjoyed our Inca Trail ! . The food was incredibly good (especially when considered the circumstances for cooking are not so easy along the trail). Jose, our guide, was very helpful and we also improved our spanish a great deal. A possible improvement could be the time of the departure of our train.…

    Twins leave America

    This was a remarkable trek with lasting memories. Trekking through the different microclimates was an amazing experience. The most memorable moments are the Salkantay mountain, walking to the Salkantay lake, and humantay lake. I always thought the blues and greens of Hawaii were the most beautiful I\’ve seen, but the colors of Peru have left…

    The Road to Smelling

    I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on the Salkantay trek. I could not believe how well we were taken care of from start to finish. Chef Modesto was great in preparing the meals. There were no repeats and all the food was absolutely delicious. The first day consisted of high altitude gain and very cold temperatures.…
