Machu Picchu Day Trip will take on an adventure to explore the Peruvian Andes, which are covered with the dense vegetation of the cloud forest. This spectacular city is a complex of Palaces, temples, houses, storehouses, plazas, schools. The citadel lies in a step-high ridge, surrounded by mountains and the Urubamba River. Scholars are still trying to uncover the mysteries of “the Lost City of the Incas.” Come and join me in these expeditions to visit this ancient city that was abandoned in the early 16th century.

Ha sido una gran experiencia, lo hemos disfrutado mucho

By Natalia M for Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days - Mesones x2 on Apr 26, 2024

We (Marina, Alex and Thomas) took a trek from Lares to Machu Picchu with Filio. Ist was simply amazing. Everything was perfectly organized and the whole staff was always friendly and did an excellent work. The trek in itself is gorgeous, and even if the second day with the Condor Pass was challenging, I recommend it! An amazing experience which leaves you wanting more… but most of all our guide Filio was the best guide you could ever wish. His knowledge about nature and culture (Machu Picchu) is stunning, and he always adjusts to your needs. In fhe most difficult parts of the trek he never puts pressure on you and always gives you the right motivation. We were a little family for four days and we sure will miss him. It’s not the first tour we take, but he sure was the best guide we had until now.

We had a really great time on the Inka Trail with our guides José and Sara and the whole group! The food was really delicious and always on time! 🤩 We loved every moment of the trip!

Great trip thank you. We saw the numerous interesting Inca sites and an alpaca farm, with a very nice buffet lunch. The day was packed with content. Particular thanks to our guide Katya, whose enthusiasm and knowledge seemed to be boundless. She is proud of her beautiful country and heritage, and rightly so. Thanks again for providing this experience.
