The Inca Trail was very though, especially considering the weather, at nights very cold - but very worthwhile, scenery was amazing, incredible. The guide was very enthusiastic and informative, also really became part of the group and was keen to encourage us and go at any place (slow!), he gave us an historical overview before we left and at every stop on the way - very clear and very good English!. Also he encouraged us to ask questions - even about flowers and wildlife, his job was great.
The meals were amazing, 3 course meals - so much food! very good breakfast to start a hard day of walking, big lunches and then great tasty snacks plus (hot) tea, coca tea , followed by a delicious dinner!
The last day was amazing we woke up very early in the morning but we enjoyed arriving at the sun gate, they were few people in Machu picchu.
Very good transfers, very well looked after each stop. good organization of transportation and the staff in Cusco were all kind. Amazing service from the porters, they were very helpful - completely unexpected and excellent value for money. I really recommend this company Inca Trail Reservations to make treks like this one.
