Fantastic Experience
This was honestly one of the best hiking experiences I’ve ever had. From beginning to end, the Trexperience team was fantastic. Our guide, Gilbert (G), was outstanding and incredibly attentive to every detail. He truly went above and beyond to make the trek unforgettable. Esteban and Jeremy took great care of us every day, waking us up on time with coca tea and hot water to help us freshen up. In no time at all, they would prepare an impressive multi-course meal, which was an experience in itself. Along with Gilbert, Esteban, and Jeremy, we also had an amazing pachamanca and coffee farm experience that added something really special to the trip. Trexperience has strong local connections throughout the Cusco, Humantay, and Salkantay regions, which made everything run smoothly and stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Trexperience to anyone planning to do the Salkantay Trek—they’re simply awesome.

Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - 4 Days

View full reviewClassic Machu Picchu Tour 4 Days: Cusco + Sacred Valley
The Cusco and Machu Picchu tour was very good. Kate, our guide, was very passionate regarding the history and culture of the Andean people. I'm glad we added a day in Cusco before the tour to give us time to partially acclimate, since I had issues with the altitude. Kate was considerate of me and my well-being and helped me when I had trouble with some of the steps at Machu Picchu. The Sacred Valley was absolutely beautiful. Machu Picchu is magnificent. The only improvement suggestion I have is that more communication on logistics would have been better. For example, the bus back from the train station to Cusco was not as described.

Machu Picchu: Sacred Valley + Short Inca Trail 3 Days
The tour is amazing! I absolutely loved it! All three days are well designed and packed. For the first sacred valley day, I liked the salt mine and ollantaytambo incan site the most. The two day inca trail is fantastic. The first day"s hike, about six hours, is tough but totally worth it. The second day is Machu Picchu, and I added the WaynaPicchu hike, which to me personality the best part of the trip. It took us two and half hours up and down. the stairs and trail.up are very challenging, but totally doable. You just need to take your time and take breaks. But both the journey and the views on top are just spectacular. All of my guides are great. René for the first day is very knowledgeable. So are Gary and a William for the second day. And they are fun! The only thing I would say is that the.guides may touch base late the night before. If you are anxious, reach out to the head office and they will tell you the names and WhatsApp numbers of the guides and you can touch base directly yourself. That's what I did. All in all. Amazing experience.
