5 Stars for TreXperience and the journey to Machu Picchu
It’s not about the destination but about the journey. TreXperience really made the journey to Machu Picchu into one of best experiences, I’ve ever had. In particular thanks to the guides, Nilton and Luis and all the porters and chefs for this experience. Everything was really taken care of, both the good and the accommodations. 5 stars!

A Once in a Lifetime Experience.
Hands down the best activity we did in Peru. We booked with TrexPerience as it is one of the only locally owned trekking companies in Cusco. From start to finish our experience was unparalleled, the accommodations throughout the trek were amazing and on the colder night we were provided with hot bags and extra blankets. The trip included 3 , 3 course meals a day that tasted like they could've been made at restaurant by a group of very skilled chefs and this was on top of the snacks that we were provided everyday. This is also one of the only tours which also included a coffee tour and cooking activity which I would also highly recommend. The company handled our baggage flawlessly, they would arrive at each checkpoint before we got there. Special shoutout to our guides Danny and Raul. They made sure to pay special attention and take care of each and every hiker in our group, kept the energy extra high and were super knowledgeable about Peru in general, it was a pleasure spending 4 days with them and getting to know their unique stories. All in all, we were very happy llamas !

Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain – 8 Days
My entire experience with this company during my trip to Peru to travel the Inca Trail and Rainbow Mountain was very positive with only one small exception - the hotel selection in Ollantaytambo (this was very poor). The guides were excellent throughout as were the cooks and porters.

Salkantay Trek 5 Days to Machu Picchu with Vistadome Train
It has been a wonderful experience—both from a sporting perspective, due to the physical challenge of the trek, and on a personal level, because of what we experienced and shared. Special mention goes to the team of porters and cooks for their tremendous effort and for making our stay so comfortable, as well as to the lead guide, José Abad, and the assistant guides, Alejandro and Lourdes, who led the group splendidly and helped us with every detail we needed. A 10 out of 10.

All was really great ! Guides very professionnals , organisation, food, everything was exceptional. I recommand +++++++
Outstanding! We did the 4D/3N classic Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu at the beginning of November and LOVED IT! Blown away by how well everything was organised, the knowledge of the guides, and entire set up of the tour. Our guides, Abelardo and Rodger were lovely, enthusiastic, witty, and taught us lots about Inca and Quechua culture along the way. The food was amazing, and we were always full! Props to the chefs and the porters who make this trek possible. Could not recommend Trexperience more for doing the classic Inca trail - purely professionalism and competitive pricing. Loved it!

View full reviewThe TreXperience Way
Exceptional Andean hospitality, shaped by people who know the trail from every side.
TreXperience is a 100% Peruvian tour operator based in Cusco. Our co-founder, Juan Coronel, walked the Inca Trail first as a porter, then as a trekking chef, then as a guide. That is where our standard comes from: a great trek is not one big thing done well, but a hundred small things you never have to think about.
The six pillars below are how we keep that promise, from your first message to the journey home.
The Andes provide the adventure. The TreXperience Way takes care of everything around it.
Prepared for the Journey
Before you travel, we tell you what to expect: the real difficulty, what to pack, how to acclimatize and what each day looks like. Clear answers from a real person in Cusco, so you arrive ready, not guessing.
Guided by Local Experts
Our guides grew up in these mountains and are licensed professionals. They set a pace you can hold, explain what you’re seeing and watch how you’re feeling, so you can walk with your head up.
Andean Hospitality
Fresh Peruvian food cooked by trekking chefs, hot drinks waiting when you arrive, and small details that make a camp, a hotel or a train feel looked after. Special diets are cooked for, not worked around.
Comfort & Safety
Quality tents and equipment, private portable toilets on treks, well-organized transfers and hotels, plus first-aid kits, oxygen, satellite phones and trained teams on every route. Comfort you notice, safety you don’t have to think about.
Care for Our Team
Our porters, chefs, drivers and guides work with fair pay, proper equipment, training and real paths to grow. They are the reason your trip works, and we treat them that way.
Protecting the Andes
We carry our waste out, hire locally, support community projects and follow the rules that keep these places open. The Andes give us the adventure; we work to leave them as we found them.

Inca Trail vs Salkantay Trek
When choosing a trek to Machu Picchu, there are two main options: the Salkantay Trek and the Inca Trail. But which one is right for you? Here's a quick breakdown of each option to help you decide: The Salkantay Trek is a longer, more challenging option th
Had an unforgettable time doing the 4-day Inca Trail with TreXperience! The many ruins you get to see along the way, the stunning natural scenery, and the overall hiking and camping experience far exceeded my expectations. Our guides, Elvis and Evans, were amazing, happily answering all our questions and patiently accommodating everyone in the group’s pace. A special shout out to Evans, whose friendliness, positive energy, and extensive knowledge of the native plants made the trek even better. The porters and chef were also incredible and worked so hard to keep everything running smoothly. The food was great (vegan/vegetarian options for every meal, popcorn and tea each night, tea brought to your tent door first thing in the morning, two giant cakes on the last night!), and the advanced planning and transportation to and from our accommodations was smooth and well-organized. Would highly recommend, and love to do another tour with them in the future!
