"I just completed the Inka trail between 30Dec24 to 02Jan24. The experience was very unique in the sense that the team was super helpful and very knowledgeable. The team provided amazing tea time and main meal courses during lunch and dinner. Our guide Persi was extremely knowledgeable about the trail and the Inka culture. He was very knowledgeable and resourceful to any hiker. I've done a trail before but it it was just a simple hike. During the trail our guide provided plenty of cultural..."

"I had the most amazing experience with Percy on the Inka trail. A group of friends and I did the 4 day tour and we were kept in the loop and very well informed about what to expect on the hike. He was with us the whole time and had an amazing crew that clapped for us every time we finished part of the hike. We had amazing food considering we were camping and in the middle of nowhere. Percy is tremendously passionate about what he does and the Inka culture. I bonded with him and his crew on a..."

"We did the 4D, 3 nights Inca Trail with Jorge the first week of December 2024. The tour was incredible with beautiful views along the way and of course a worthwhile final destination. The Inca Trail team was great and our guide was very knowledgeable the only thing to note was that we wish that the guide matched our walking pace more. We were happy with the equipment borrowed/rented that were in fair condition. Food was overall very tasty and varied but the portions were a bit small for some...."

"We initially tried booking with one of the more popular companies, but they were fully booked. So, we decided to give this smaller company a try—and it turned out to be the best decision! Smaller groups made the experience more intimate, and the guides were incredibly attentive. Here are some examples of why it was a great experience: Percy and Iza, our tour guides, went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. They paid close attention to our needs, making the entire..."

"The trip was perfectly paced and absolutely gorgeous! Percy was funny, helpful, knowledgeable and personable. He handled everything the group or nature threw his way, and made sure everyone was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Pauline and Christian made 3 delicious meals a day. I’m not kidding I don’t think I could pick my favorite! They always had the warm meals ready for us which healed some of the more grueling parts of the hike. Thankfully we also had..."
