The hiking was awesome, lots of beautiful and different landscapes along the way. On a clear sky at night one can see the Milky Way, it’s incredible. The special views from Macchu Pichu that only can be seen by hikers made everything perfect.
"Excellent tour! We (50f, & 2 teens) found this tour operator from great reviews and had a great experience. Two-day Incra train tour with hotel. Clear and thorough communication before and during the tour. (Definitely follow tips about needing 6mos on passport, collecting and rechecking baggage in Lima, and arriving at least 2 days before tour for acclimation to altitude.) One of our group had altitude sickness so bad they couldn't do the hike, and the company helped us find an alternative so one of us could still do the hike and two of us took the train all the way to Aguas Calientes and were still able to tour Machu Picchu on the second day. Excellent service and hotel. Wouldn't go with another company.
Was very impressed with this tour company. My group did our trek November 11-14, 2023. As a first time traveler to Peru and the Andes mountains, I could not think of a better introduction to see the Incan Trail and Machu Picchu. Our trek of 3 nights of the classic Incan Trail in my opinion was flawless experience all things considered. I want to give a big shoutout to our chef Simon and all the porters! The meals were delicious. Simon and his assistants did a great job! Our guides Javi and Valentin went above and beyond for everyone in our group. Great guys! They made it a lot of fun and shared with us stories and history of the region. It is definitely a challenging hike to do the classic Incan trail especially at this altitude. I definitely recommend the basics of preparing physically and eating extra healthy to be doing this trek. It is very doable for the majority of people in half way decent shape. Good hydration is something to take seriously. You will not appreciate the experience in the same way without the physical challenge of being out in the nature for 3 days trekking. Really awesome to see the variety of microclimates throughout the trail. The operator is a great business and they hire really awesome people! I have all positive things to say. In conversation with people about visiting Machu Picchu I will always remember this tour company.
