      Trexperience were amazing for the Inca Trail. Great food. Amazing the work the porters do. But our guides were next level in looking after us.

      The company did an outstanding job getting our group through 4 days of hiking. The breakfast, lunch, and dinners they served were unexpectedly very good and plentiful. Sleeping inside the tents was made comfortable with foam and air mattresses along with sleeping bags and pillows. Unfortunately the government is in charge of the bathroom facilities which were pretty bad, they only had flour toilets and in some cases they were quite dirty, not the fault of the company. A lot of the companies that use the Inka trail don't properly pasteurized the drinking water many hikers get diarrhea so bring anti-diarrhea medicine and consider bringing something that can filter the bacteria our of the drinking water they provide. I think I was the only one in my group who got diarrhea, fortunately I brought medicine with me and I started using my filter once it started. Fortunately it only lasted two days and it wasn't bad. The floors of one bathroom facility was covered in diarrhea by another company's group by the time we got there, that was pretty bad. There was only one cold shower facility available at the end of the third day hiking, however, all the bathrooms at the camping sites have large sinks which you can use to at least wash your hair and face. I packed baby wipes, which worked well at cleaning the rest of me and that I used to when I went #2. We saw so many archeological sites along the 4 days hiking, it was amazing. I would definitely do this hike again but would use filter/straw that removes bacteria from the drinking water they provide. Also it's very important to be in Cusco (or high altitude town) at least 3 days before the hike to get acclimated to the altitude. Taking one aspirin (325 mg) and one ginkgo biloba (120 mg) per day starting one week before you arrive at high altitudes towns like Cusco (11,000 ft above sea level) and throughout your stay will help prevent altitude sickness (headaches, nausea, etc). Bring rain gear and use the plastic poncho they provide. My rain gear didn't work that well but the poncho did.

      We had wonderful four days on the Inca Trail. Wilian as tour guide made the experience unforgettable and the food was delicious. A huge thank you to all the helpers in the background (especially the porters) who do everything to make this trip so amazing. I will never forget the great time we had in our group.

      We had booked the luxury Lares and Short Inca trek. We had already high expectations but our expectatipns were more than exceeded. The whole team was just phenomenal. Starting with the chef Amilcar and his assistant Pescadito who did magic in the middle of the mountains by providing is with three course meals of Michelin star quality. Followed by the friendly porters and Santo the assistant and Shaman who made us always feel so special. To Esmeralda who have us the best massages of our lives after every hike. And last but not least our guide Sutta who exceeded in every possible way by organizing everything for us in the most professional way. And by everything I mean EVERYTHING! He even organized a room for me to relax in Machu Picchu Pueblo short notice as I wasn‘t feeling well and our hotel did not let us check in yet. Furthermore he knows everything about the nature, culture and history you are going to encounter on this trip. And you encounter A LOT. We really cannot put into worlds how amazing this trek was for us thanks to Trexperience and their incredible, most professional and friendly team.
