Amazing 4 days on the trail!

Just finished 4 day trek on Inca Trail. We were led by the legendary Daniel and Yovani. They were so encouraging and energetic when it was tough. The chef Beltran made us delicious meals and head porter Ruben led a team of Porters that are truly outstanding. Don’t doubt the trail and what it entails to complete but know the team at TreXperince will help you reach your goal!

Don’t pass up this opportunity!

If you want to have the most rewarding four days, this is the experience! This was the most physically taxing hike I have done but the risk was worth the reward! The views, friendships, food and challenge were amazing! Our guide, Avi was passionate about preserving the history of his people and teaching us about the Incan culture, engineering practices and food! Alex and Wilbur were great at assisting him and us! Julio, the chef created all food with love! You won’t regret booking this adventure!

A pretty tough trip, but worth all the effort

This was one of the most amazing adventures I have ever had, significantly enhanced by Roger and Yovany who were our guides for the four day trek not forgetting to mention chef Daniel and the team of Porters who supported us every step of the way. There is some pretty serious trekking involved with this trip with significant ups and downs and outstandingly beautiful mountainous countryside with amazing views and Inca ruins along the way finishing up in the ancient city of Machu Picchu. Myself and my friend Kate also did the additional climb up Waynapicchu giving us spectacular views of the Machu Picchu site. This is another steep climb but not as impossible as it first looks. We ended the trip with dinner in a local restaurant and probably the most entertaining train journey I’ve ever had. Thanks again to Roger and Yovany for an amazing time and your exceptional knowledge of the Inka Trail and Machu Picchu site

The four day trek to Machu Picchu was challenging at times, especially with the rain, but also a valuable experience.

Hard journey worth the effort!
