Throughout the route, you will be able to see hundreds of llamas and alpacas, hike along the snowcapped peaks of the Ausangate Mountain range, the highest in Cusco city.

No es posible imaginar todo lo que se vive en 4 días. Fue una experiencia maravillosa, los lugares que visitamos fueron increíbles, pero la organización, información, buena predisposición y atención de cada una de las personas desde el minuto uno fue excelente. Los servicios, la comida deliciosa, cada persona del equipo que está organizada para que nada falle, fueron parte fundamental de esta experiencia. Mención especial para los guías, Wilian y José hicieron que esta experiencia fuera aún mejor, todo la información que nos regalaron y lo que hicieron para que cada detalle fuera increíble. Yo estaba siempre al final del grupo y José con su paciencia, amabilidad y compartiendo sus historias, hicieron que el camino fuera más fácil cuando el cansancio a veces llegaba. MUCHAS GRACIAS!! Excelente empresa!!

We have just returned from a wonderful trip on the Inka trail. The company were well organised and prompt to answer any queries. Our guides Wilian Elvis and Fernando were great. They were enthusiastic and clearly very knowledgeable. They gave information about culture and traditions in an easily understandable way. They led the group democratically taking into account individual preferences when planning the exact itinerary. They were very well organised and the whole trip ran smoothly. We felt well looked after and safe throughout. The food could only be described as excellent. Travelling with teenagers, there is a necessity for large portions with varied options and the head chef Amilcar along with sous chef Felix delivered on both counts. They also thoughfully made a cake on our last evening. We were amazed about how efficient and hard working the porter team led by Inocencio were. They were always smiling and happy to help with any additional requests that might make our stay more comfortable. Overall we had a wonderful time, largely as a result of the great team in charge of our trip.

We had fantastic time with our trip. It was such an awesome experience I would recommend it to anybody, you don't have to be expert or practice a ton. Our guide Roger made it look real easy, he has helped with couple of our team members when needed, he was with us all the time guiding and making sure that we don't over exert our selves. He was courteous and always willing to help, he was with us all the time and made sure that everything went smooth. The food was out of this world, not sure how our Chef Daniel made it over the mountain with very limited resources, we had gourmet meals 3 times a day, we were stuffed and ready for a nap after every meal. Overall, it was fantastic experience, the scenery is out of this world, no matter how many pictures you take , they just don't do justice, you have to experience it.
