Traveler reviews
Short Inca trail with Trexperience - a well organised tour - best way to experience Machu Picchu
Short Inca trail led by Rosmel & David - a great way to experience Macchi Picchu, the incredible Incas and the spectacular trail.
Lares 4 day trek - best trek I’ve ever been on!
The trek led by Juel and his crew of Oscar, Juan Jose, Adriel and Julian was the best I’ve ever experienced. Juel was extremely informative, answering all our many questions, looking after us so well and wow, the gourmet food was amazing. We had fabulous support from Adriel, our driver and Julian, our muleteer. Thank you so much for a fabulous experience!! 😊
Amazing.
We realized the Lares Treck + Inca treck over 5 days in a group of 9. This stay was amazing. Beautiful encounters in the team that surrounded us but also with the locals, fauna and flora. Everything is thought out to appreciate the difficulties that hiking offers with greater travel comfort than is usual when trekking independently: Meals and snacks of the day prepared by the chef, porters to leave with a lightened bag, spacious tents and equipment adapted to the temperature. These elements allowed us to recover well from the intense days that the treck offered us. Do not underestimate the difficulty of the altitude but trust your guides who will accompany you throughout the treck, at your own pace, whatever your initial level. Special thanks to Nilson and Alberto, our guides, who accompanied us throughout the adventure. We recommend Treckexperience
Great trip!
I recently did the 3-day Lares Trek combined with the Short Inca Trail, and it was amazing! As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and well cared for by the entire team. Our guides, Anthony and Gilbert, were fantastic—they’re both from the region, so their knowledge of the area, history, and culture was incredible. Their passion really brought the trek to life, and they spoke great English, which made everything easier. This trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone, especially solo travellers. The guides and team made it a memorable and safe adventure that I’ll never forget.
Amazing trip w TreXperience!!!
My sister and I had the most wonderful time with TreXperience. Our experience was top notch all around. We first did the Lares trek with our guide Elias, chef Tiburcio, and horseman Toribio. It was my sisters birthday on the second day and the chef made her a full-on cake despite being camping in the woods without an oven. The food was delicious for every meal (we were stuffed) and the crew made us feel very welcome. It was a super authentic experience. Im glad I stuck to my gut going with this company instead of a more commercial company like alpaca exp. The second half of our trip we did the 2nd at Inca trail with guides Jason and Miguel. Jason was so so Knowledgeable about the regions history - I learned a lot from him during the two days. Would do it over if I could!
