    I very much enjoyed my trip. The experience was good and rewarding. While the hike was difficult, it did have a great reward at the end. The food was well prepared and delicious and our guide was very knowledgeable and amiable. The campsites were just OK, there were a ton of tourists and a lot…

  • Pisco !

    This was my first trip to both Peru and Machu Picchu. It surpassed all of my expectations. Our guide, Carlos Perez was an amazing, knowledgeable and humorous man who made our group feel like a family. The crew who carried our packs and the cooks made us feel safe and at home. Carlos gave us…

    I have willing to come to Machu Picchu for the past 10 years and finally this dream became reality ! I was very impressed with the organization of the tour, the food and everything that was arranged to please us. Cusco and Aguas Calientes are very neat and interesting towns with a lot to see.…

  • No more uphill !

I found walking uphill on millions, millions and millions of steps so hard, but the beautiful and spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, vegetation and mountains meant that every single second was worth it in the end !…

    Screaming Llamas

    We saw a couple sites on the way to our first camp sites. Our guide, Americo, was very informative from the start. The scenery is amazing the whole way. The weather was fair, with the odd rain fall. The porters were very fast and always had everything ready when we arrived after our days hike.…

    Aventuros de los sihuayros

    Once in a lifetime, very memorable experience. Our tour guide was excellent in all aspects of the trip, as were the porters and chef. The second day was the hardest, with a steep ascent and Dead Woman\’s Pass in the morning. We struggled at times, but in the end, Americo was correct – anything is…
