My experience was challenging but extremely rewarding. The company was excellent and everything was very well planned and informative. I will definitely be recommending this to many people! The second day was my favorite part of the adventure ( as well as day 4 – arriving at Machu Picchu) arriving at the summit was an extraordinary experience that nothing can compare to. The down stairs was the most challenging to me as I was fearful of falling!! Arriving at Machu Picchu was incredible. I am very grateful to have been able to experience this wonderful site and have to have achieved walking the Inca Trail with such magnificent company !.
