A Hike to Remember: An adventure with Alex and Ade
I had an absolutely wonderful time with my tour guides and our group! We started the day off with an amazing breakfast that started off our hike so well. And even though it rained, our guides Alex and Ade were so positive that it made the rain not a problem at all! They took breaks whenever we needed and checked up on us throughout the hike to make sure we were good. They were very informative about the history of Machu Picchu and Alex gave us very important details on our way and at Machu Picchu while Ade did as well and also spoke in Spanish to a few of the people in our group that couldn’t understand English very well. I was so grateful for their knowledge and their positive attitudes during our time together. They brought our whole group together so well, and I can’t imagine the trip without them!

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.

The trek is challenging, especially because of the elevation you have to climb to reach Salkantay. That said, it's well worth the effort. The scenery and the route are beautiful. I definitely recommend doing it.

Mi esposo y yo acabamos de terminar nuestra caminata de 4 días y 3 noches por el Camino Inca con Pepe y Balbin, ¡y fue increíble! Pepe fue nuestro guía principal y demostró tener un gran conocimiento y ser muy atento. ¡Le apasiona la historia inca, la flora y fauna de los parques nacionales y es un excelente fotógrafo! La comida durante la caminata fue fantástica. Como no puedo comer gluten ni lácteos, se aseguraron de que tuviera suficiente comida en cada comida. ¡Recomendamos TreXperience sin dudarlo!

¡Absolutamente! Aquí tienes una versión en inglés con un tono natural que funciona perfectamente como reseña de viaje: ¡Un tour absolutamente increíble y uno de los mejores momentos de mi viaje a Perú! 🇵🇪 Me impresionó muchísimo toda la experiencia, desde la organización y nuestro fantástico guía hasta el grupo en sí. Todo estuvo muy bien organizado y siempre nos sentimos bien atendidos. Nuestro grupo de ocho personas tenía el tamaño perfecto y lo pasamos genial juntos. Nuestro guía fue fantástico y siempre se aseguró de tener en cuenta las necesidades de todos, permitiendo que cada persona caminara a su propio ritmo. ¡El paisaje a lo largo del Camino Inca es simplemente impresionante! Las imponentes montañas, la hermosa naturaleza y los paisajes en constante cambio hicieron de la caminata una experiencia inolvidable. ¡También me impresionó mucho la comida! Teniendo en cuenta que todo se preparaba en tiendas de campaña, las comidas eran absolutamente fantásticas. La comida estaba deliciosa y variaba cada día. Además, tengo intolerancia al gluten y esto se manejó de maravilla. Siempre me proporcionaron una alternativa adecuada en cada comida, ¡realmente impresionante! La experiencia del Camino Inca fue sin duda uno de los mejores momentos de mi viaje a Perú. ¡Repetiría este tour sin pensarlo dos veces y lo recomiendo ampliamente! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reservamos tres excursiones con Trexperience: el Tour del Valle Sagrado, el Camino Inca Corto y la Montaña Arcoíris. Quedamos más que satisfechos. La organización y la ejecución fueron excepcionales. Todos los guías, cocineros y personal fueron muy competentes y amables. Nuestros guías, Jacob, Rosmel, William y David, respondieron a todas nuestras preguntas y era evidente que disfrutaban de su trabajo. Volveríamos a reservar con Trexperience sin dudarlo.

Exceptional Andean hospitality, shaped by people who know the trail from every side.
TreXperience is a 100% Peruvian, Cusco-based tour operator built from firsthand experience in the Andes. Our co-founder, Juan Coronel, started his journey on the Inca Trail as a porter before becoming a trekking chef and professional guide. This experience taught us a simple truth: a great adventure is not defined by just one element; it’s defined by how well every aspect of the experience is cared for.
From personal preparation and expert local guidance to fresh Peruvian food, thoughtful comfort, reliable safety, and respect for our team and the Andes, every journey is designed to make you feel supported from the first conversation to the journey home.
The Andes provide the adventure. The TreXperience Way takes care of everything around it.
