We had an amazing trip!! We did the 2 day Inca trail tour. Day 1 included a trek and we saw many different ruins. Our guide Primo was so knowledgable and we learnt so much about the history as well as the flora. Day 2 we had a tour around Machu Picchu ruins and again we learnt so much from Primo....

The porter crew was very friendly, the cool Julio cooked delightful food and a very special thank goes to our wonderful guide Franco who was indeed not only a good leader, Storyteller and historian but became also a friend! Thank you for this...
