Best hiking trip I have done so far
I spent six weeks in Perú and this trip was the absolute highlight for following reasons:
- The inca trail is in itself very beautiful with crazy views along the whole path.
- The many inca sights along the trail are incredible.
- Our guide introduced us to the history along the way. The history was packaged in small portions, which is perfect for understanding and learning. All our questions were answered.
- The food (most of the time three dishes) was really good. We were surprised by the skills of the chef who cooked everything in a small tent on two stoves.
- The porters were very reliable and spread good vibes, even on days that were very tough for them.
- The organisation was perfect from pickup to drop off.
- Last and most importantly, our guide Percy made the four days really fun and even paid attention to the smallest details. Just one example: he surprised us with Coca Cola Zero (which we are addicted to :D) on the last day at the Sungate after an exhausting hike to the top and with the first view at Machu Picchu.
All in all: I really recommend doing the inca trail and booking it with this company.

Classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in 4 days
The Inca Trail got used as a communication system for the Incas to run from one place to another in the humongous Inca Empire which stretched from south Colombia to north of Argentina. There are different Inca trails to hike, but this one is the most famous Inca trail and it will take you from Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, through beautiful landscapes and different archaeological Inca sites.
