Experiencia inolvidable

Unforgettable experience. The guide, Santiago, is a professional from head to toe. Very attentive, very knowledgeable and a great person. The group of porters and cook have also been wonderful. They have looked after us very well, always with a smile and the cook is a spectacle. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend this team to the next brave people who venture on the Inca Trail.

It was a great experience of nature and its history Encounters with nature and its stories

The activities were varied and very appropriate for the tour that was carried out with a great guide who instructs on the history of this beautiful place. I just think that it should be more specific with brochures or pamphlets to better enjoy the experience.

An experience of adventure and delicious food!!

The landscapes were incredible and the explanations of the guide Percy, who was always explaining to us and always paying close attention to all the members of the group so that we arrived safely at our destinations, not to mention the delicious food provided by our cook, the Chinese (Victorian), a real chef! He took care of feeding us with the appropriate meals for the activities! Highly recommended!!
