"Wow! I did the 2 day Inca trip + hiked Huaynu Picchu with a group of 7 friends from all over the USA. Our guide Percy had been recommended to us by another friend and I’m so glad we took her advice. Both hikes were certainly challenging, but with Percy’s gentle presence, humor, compassion, confidence and expertise, we had an incredible experience! We laughed a lot, always felt safe, and would absolutely book Percy for another adventure in the future...."

"We had the BEST time with Percy! 10/10 would recommend him to anyone and everyone. The 2-day Inca Trail & Waynapicchu was a VERY challenging trek, but he made it informative and fun. We were a group of 7 ladies, and always felt safe with Percy. He gave us tips for acclimating to the altitude, the best pace for our bodies on the hike, and when to rest and breathe. I’m not sure if I would have been able to do this venture without him! He took care of all our transportation, train tickets, hotel..."

"What an incredible experience! Percy was so kind & patient with our group. From pre-trip arrangements to how he cared for our group the experience was exceptional! Percy had a great sense of humor but also kept us on track to accomplish our goals. I loved that this experience was more than just hiking but also information about the Inca trail and ruins, their history, etc. I can’t image our trip being any better with a different guide!..."

"Salkantay 3 day challenge was no joke! One of the hardest things we have done. But so worth it! We decided to have a private trek and that was the best choice for us. Our team of wonderful people: Santiago Ballon our amazing guide, Julio our chef, Walter our porter and several drivers made our experience unique and awesome. Santiago was so knowledgable and attentive on our trek. This team made our adventure so wonderful and full of lasting memories. The food was outstanding, every meal prepared..."

"Our 4 day tour towards machu pichu was so mentally rewarding yet physically exhausting. If anyone has anything negative to say I would argue because they are not prepared or have expectations beyond the terrain and facilities. Jaguar our guide was an absolute legend. His knowledge of the area and support throughout went above and beyond. The climbs were amazing and enjoyed the cheeky game of football (not soccer) on day 3. Sexycondas forever x..."

"We had a grand adventure on the 4 day Inka Jungle Trek with our amazing guide, Jorge Calderon! Day 1 was downhill biking (starting at 13,000+ feet, descending into and through the clouds and seeing the climate, terrain and flora change) and fantastic white water rafting. Day two was hiking 11 hilly adventurous miles through the Andean high jungle with stops along the way with authentic mountain Peruvian families for coffee (we roasted and crushed the beans ourselves) and lunch, followed by the..."

"I went with a group of women, and our guides, Santiago and Percy, were exceptional and went above and beyond to make our trek perfect. I really appreciated how respectful they were to the porters, and how knowledgeable they were of the Incan culture and local flora and fauna. It was a challenging hike, but I always felt safe and encouraged. Highly recommend ITEP and especially Santiago and Percy!..."
