The Best Inca Trail Tours with Peru’s Trekking Experts

Great experience. While visiting the Inca sites and hiking over the original Inca trail you are able to experience the history of this culture in a unique way. I also really enjoyed how the nature gradually changed from a dry mountain climate to the cloud forrest. Filio is a excellent tour guide and was able to explain us a lot about the nature, the history and the culture. The accomodation in the tends was very good and the food was incredibly good.

This was a great tour. Our day one instructor - Frank - was very knowledgeable and gave a great balance of information and time for self exploration throughout the Sacred Valley. We loved the amount of places visited. Beware day 2&3 you will join a different group - we were not aware of this until Frank dropped us off at our Hotel in Ollantaytambo on night one and said goodbye. Day 2 we met our next 2 instructors - Gary & Fernando. These guys are great guides, Nando kept the hike moving and a great pace which we loved. Gary provided great information at all sites along the way - he was awesome! The meals included on this day were all fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Hotel accom also exceeded expectations on night 2. Very happy. Day 3 was when we got to go into Machu Picchu, Gary provided even more great information. My partner and I had booked the extra hike up Wayna Picchu last minute. I suggest you ask the guides about this at the time of booking and add on if fit. My partner and I got to the top in 30 minutes. We then headed back to town to have lunch and begin the journey back. Strangely lunch was organised for us on the last day, however it is not included in the tour price so beware. I would suggest this be made more clear to the guests. The journey back does not begin until a 3:50 train from Aguas Calientes. We didn’t get to our hotel in Cusco until after 8pm, quite a long day after the 5:30am start! Overall, a great tour with even better guides. I would suggest that there be options for an earlier departure on the final day if desired. Seeing as though we didn’t get to pick the lunch restaurant and then had to pay, we would have preferred to pick our own and make our way back to Cusco earlier. Definitely recommend!

We did the 2-day Short Inca Trail with TreXperience and it was amazing! Nilton, our guide, was fantastic—super knowledgeable and made the history come alive to the 7 of us in the group. Day one was a train ride to the drop off location where we hopped of the train and were provided with a great breakfast from the chef and crew who had already setup the breakfast area. We then hiked to Wiñaywayna a true wonder which is only accessible by trek and possibly the highlight of the trek. Again fabulous Peruvian dishes provide by the chef and team for lunch before heading off to the Sun Gate for that first magical view of Machu Picchu and then continued down to the terraces for more spectacular views before a bus back to Agia Cervantes accommodation and dinner at a local restaurant. Day two was back to Machu Picchu via bus this time for a second circuit through Machu Picchu historic buildings. Nilton’s tour was detailed and engaging. After the tour a bus back to Aqua Cervantes where we had time for a soothing massage and lunch (not part of the package) before heading back on the panoramic train which was included. Everything was well organized, the food was delicious, and the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend TreXperience and Nilton!
