I had an amazing time on this trek! The trail was challenging but extremely rewarding, much in part to our tour guides, David Quispe and Wilian Elvis, and our Chef Rolando for cooking the most beautiful and delicious meals that ALSO accommodated everyone’s dietary restrictions of the group. I felt like I was fine dining at a restaurant! I didn’t feel well on the first few days of the trek, and David and Wilian really went above and beyond to support me in to finish the hikes. They are extremely compassionate are people, and extremely knowledgable about the Incan sites, the plants and flowers, and the history and culture of the Incan people. Not only that, but they are so much fun to talk with! I HIGHLY recommend this tour, and try to get David and/or Wilian as your guide, and Rolando as your chef if you can!

Jason really made this experience one of a kind. From start to finish he was so thorough, from the meeting in the office the night before where he gave us very detailed information on what to expect and how to prepare, all the way until we finished the tour in Machu Picchu two days later. We had a very smooth experience being picked up at our hotel and assisted with our bags, and road at four in the morning to the train station in Ollantaytambo. From there, the company had everything organized very well, with our tickets printed out and an easy smooth experience onto the train. The train was so comfortable and the ride was beautiful. An hour or so later, we disembarked on the side of the tracks at KM104. We weren’t expecting such a rainy day, but luckily, we were all prepared. We walked a bit and had a very unexpected breakfast, we saw other groups with a simple brown bag and banana, but ours had fresh cooked eggs, sausage, fruit, bread with lots of spreads, coffee, and tea – the works. After some grilling hours, making it to the top of the mountain, we were rewarded with the most amazing views and tour of wiñaywayna, with a detailed explanation from Jason on how this was used by the ancient cultures. We were not expecting such a delicious lunch, prepared by Celsio, with Loma Salado, Pollo à la huancaina, rice, potatoes, vegetables, avocado, and more. It was one of the best meals I had, and should be made at the top of the mountain with minimal tools was so impressive. After a couple of more hours of moderate hiking, we came to the sun gate and got our first view of Machu Picchu, from there, we walked down to the postcard view. We were lucky to have the weather clear up just in time for our arrival to get the best pictures and vistas. Afterward, we took the bus back to the hotel, although there were hundreds of people the experience was easy, getting onto the bus and the tickets were organized and prepared. The hotel was honestly so nice and comfortable, the bed was big and the shower was hot with great water pressure and a beautiful view of the river from the room The next morning we left to to Machu Picchu and Jason gave a detailed three hour lesson of each part of daily life and how things got to be how they were. He was so informed and made it so easy to understand, I learned so much. truly this was a once in a lifetime experience and well worth the money. I would recommend it 10 out of 10.

Magical experience. Challenging hike along the inka trail but condensed into just 14km. So nice to experience the trail without having to spend 4 days doing it from the beginning. The view of Machu Picchu from the sun gate at the end of the trek is utterly awe inspiring. The trip back to the ruins the following day with Jason and Fernando was incredible thanks to their informative commentary. Loved it. Great group. Great food. Highly recommend
