Best hiking trip I have done so far

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.
