Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu 4 Days

It was an incredible journey, one that would never have been possible in this way without the outstanding organisation by TreXperience. I am truly and deeply grateful for that. Throughout the preparation process, all questions were addressed promptly, and always in a friendly and professional manner. The guide team—Renato, David, and César—was perfect. They complemented each other exceptionally well, and I felt safe and well cared for at all times. Renato, as the team leader, is highly professional, caring, empathetic and knowledgeable. He clearly loves what he does and genuinely wants everyone to have the best time of their lives, see as much as possible, and take home as much knowledge as they can. David has a wonderful sense of humour and also a strong knowledge of the local environment and Inca history. César not only takes amazing photos and videos but also looked after us with great dedication and natural ease, even when things became more challenging. Additionally, I was amazed that on a trip like this, the food could be both so delicious and so beautifully presented. All equipment, such as the tents and sleeping bags, was of excellent quality and in very good condition. The support team did a fantastic job. I would absolutely travel again with TreXperience and this fantastic guide and support team at any time. A big thank you!

Amazing experience and superb customer service.

We had an incredible experience on our 5-day Lares Trek + Short Inca Trail, made especially memorable by our wonderful TreXperience team. Elias, our guide for the Lares Trek, was absolutely outstanding. While parts of the trek were demanding, he made the experience continuously pleasant by sharing insights into the plants and animals we saw along with stories and his own experiences from pre-Inca, Inca, and modern Peruvian culture. Over the trip, Elias became more than a guide. He was our personal photographer, our friend to share a meal with, and our patient encourager when the trail felt difficult. He also went immediately into action when my husband woke up with stomach issues on the third day of the trek, making sure he got quinoa oatmeal at breakfast to settle his stomach and providing several natural remedies that allowed us to finish the descent without too much trouble. Elias truly made this experience one we will treasure forever. The rest of our crew, our chef, Fredy, and our horseman, Leandro, also helped make this trip incredible. We were blown away by every meal Fredy made, and we felt like the meals he made were restaurant quality, even while camping! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for helping fuel our long days of hiking. We also appreciated the itinerary and seamless logistics. We enjoyed soaking in the Lares Hot Springs to start our trip and felt that the Lares Trek was very peaceful, with few other travelers. We particularly enjoyed the views of the sunrise over the Blue Lagoon, the a warm mug of coca tea at the top of Condor Pass, and spending time with a local family in Cancha Cancha. The Short Inca Trailis an incredible way to take Machu Picchu as the Incas would have! We are grateful to our guides, Wilian Elvis and Alejandro, who made us feel safe and well cared for throughout the experience. Though the beginning of the trek from KM 106 is difficult, Wilian and Alejandro not only took it slow with us as we ascended, but also taught us about the local plants and birds that we passed, making the climb feel less challenging. We learned so much at Wiñay Wayna, The Sun Gate, and Machu Picchu about the history and significance of these sites. Alejandro also did a phenomenal job ensuring we got photos that would capture our experience. Wilian and Alejandro did a paced the experience well, keeping us moving without pushing us past our limits and sharing information without overloading us. Wilian also went above and beyond on the first day, when I lost a filling from my tooth on the train to the trek. As soon as we arrived in Aguas Calientes that evening, he arranged for me to see an emergency dentist, and I had the filling replaced within an hour. This let me focus on enjoying Machu Picchu the next day and the rest of our time in Peru without having to worry about my tooth. We are grateful for the amazing TreXperience team for making this trip more than we could have dreamed of!

Short Inca Trail 2 Days to Machu Picchu

Jason made our guided tour truly enjoyable. He kept the energy positive the whole time and was incredibly patient, making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. His friendly attitude and enthusiasm really enhanced the entire experience. The lunch in the middle of the hike was a true feast and a perfect highlight of the day. We were also lucky to have an amazing group. Highly recommended!
