We had a wonderful time on this 5-day trek. It was all well organized, from the beginning (getting a hotel, transportation, tickets for Wayna Picchu) to the end: we always knew at which time we had to be where, what to bring and what our route of the day would look like, and all the transportation went smoothly.

Hilthon, our guide, explained a lot about the landscape, the culture, the plants and so on. Horses were carrying our backpacks the entire time. Wherever we stopped to sleep, the tents were ready and waiting for us, with mattresses, and we got warm sleeping bags and blankets. We had 2 amazing cooks that spoiled us with amazing dinners, pancakes for breakfast and woke us up every morning with hot tea.

The landscapes are simply amazing, the whole trek is a blast. Highly recommend doing this one.

Be sure to bring: enough cash for tips, toilet paper (there is none, anywhere), lots of bug repellant (we were almost murdered by mosquitos), and enough layers (especially for the first night: hats and gloves and a down jacket are musts!!). Also, it is a physically demanding trek, especially because of the altitude and lots of consecutive hours walking downhill (knees...).

I loved it and I would most definitely recommend you book with this company (some other companies had difficulties with train tickets and such)!
