Become a stair master
A true adventure. It is very tough but even more rewarding. It was amazing experience overall. The staff was amazing in every way. The guides were friendly and insightful.

The Incas loved stairs
I wouldn\’t necessarily call myself outdoorsy but this trip might have changed that. Yes, there were tons of stairs and there were really rough patches of hiking but overall I was happy and relaxed throughout the trip. The guides take time to point out interesting spots and plant life. I always felt I was in…

I did the last day
I broke my foot in Lima three days before the hike and was devastated that I couldn\’t make it with my husband, sister, and brother in law. However, I went with my mom and aunt to Machu Picchu to meet up with my family and the rest of the group. I walked through Machu Picchu…

“Peruvian Flat”
We had a great trip despite the weather and unexpected difficulty. We pretty much knew what we were getting into as far as the weather with it being the rainy season but we weren\’t sure when we\’d be back in Peru and didn\’t want to miss out on the opportunity to do the Inca Trail…

Machu Picchu
The trek was very fun ! I had a great time. The guides were amazing and told us lots of information and were very nice. The hike was beautiful and I only have a few suggestions. Smaller portions because there was a lot of left over food. I was worried about wasting food because that…

Awesome Machu Picchu
Six months ago we were planning a trip to Argentina when our daughter told us she would rather go to Peru and see Machu Picchu. Much to her dismay we booked a four day trek through Inca Trail Reservations to hike 25 plus miles to go to Machu Picchu the hard way. We had terrific…
