Amazing Guides, Food, and Views on the Inca Trail

Our first trip to South America exceeded every expectation thanks to TreXperience. The four-day Inca Trail trek included the highest elevation I’ve ever experienced — almost 14,000 feet at Dead Woman’s Pass — and every challenging step was worth it. Our guide, Gary, taught us so much about Inca culture and history, which made every ruin and trail stop even more meaningful. Whenever I started feeling tired during the trek, Rene walked alongside me and kept me motivated with encouragement and conversation. Their support truly made the experience special. Chef Celso amazed us every day with a variety of delicious Peruvian dishes and made sure nobody ever went hungry. Our hardworking team of porters took care of everything else and made the trek run so smoothly. Machu Picchu and the other ruins along the trail were absolutely incredible. We felt so lucky to witness so many majestic and historic sites in person. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves hiking and is ready for an unforgettable adventure.

Don’t hesitate - this is bucket list stuff!

Our ‘Trexperience’ on this tour was absolutely amazing. The crew support and guideance could not be faulted. Alex is an excellent guide providing much more than simply showing us the way. We learnt so much about the history and location that we were privileged enough to explore. He was well supported by our assistant Guide Jackie and our chef Euligio. Yes the hike is challenging, and the altitude makes it even more so, but the reward, off the charts!
