Wonderful trek and experience

The experience was great, everything was perfectly planned and set up from the food to the tents and all the other services. The porters were incredible and also extremely humble. Finally, our guide Anthony was the best guide we could have asked for. He was professional, clear in his explanations and overall a great person.

An Unforgettable Inca Trail Experience

Doing the Inca Trail with my boyfriend has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s definitely not an effortless trek, but it is 100% worth it, with breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable moments along the way. A special mention goes to the porters, who work incredibly hard to carry everything needed for the trek, from camping equipment and food to all the things that make the experience as comfortable as possible. Their work is truly impressive and deserves a lot of recognition. We were lucky to have Edy and Rody as our guides. They were both incredibly helpful, passionate about their job, and deeply connected to their culture. They made the whole experience even more meaningful by sharing their knowledge and love for the Inca heritage. A very special thank you to Rody, who took extra care of us when I wasn’t feeling well because of the altitude. He never left us behind and made sure I was safe and comfortable throughout the trek. I’m truly grateful for his kindness and support. An unforgettable experience that I would absolutely recommend!

10/10 recommendation.

Best guides ever. Despite having very inconvenient weather, the guides and porters did everything they could to make sure we were safe, happy, and well fed. Vegetarians and food allergies were respected and cared for adequately. Insane amounts of delicious food was offered at every meal. Tent, mats, sleeping bags, and other rentals/supplies were good quality and in good condition. Great knowledge of history, plants and animals, as well as an abundance of assistance was offered from the guides. Would absolutely book again. Willian, Roberto, and Moises were amazing guides and I’ll forever be grateful to have had the chance to experience the Inca Trail with their guidance.

Good guides and delicious food despite the circumstances

The weather was challenging, and there was a severe weather phenomenon that caused the area to be closed the next day. Daniel and Danelo were fantastic guides despite changed plans many times. Chef Santos was so impressive. So delicious food
