Very challenging but so rewarding. No pain no gain! - The whole experience was amazing… views, the choqueqirao site, the food was unbelievable. Grover was very patient and full of information, always keeping us updated on the plans. It was much harder than I thought it would be but absolutely worth it.

Trek to Machu Picchu - The experience was amazing. Such a challenging walk with beautiful sites and views. The Trexperience team took such good care of us ensuring we were well feed, comfortable and they were all so friendly. Our guide had really good knowledge of the entire area and even took us through a secret short cut to avoid the muddy trail. Loved every minute and so happy to have chosen Trexperience and Toro (guide) to guide us through this journey this journey. Gracias.

The best Inca Trail guides to Machu Picchu - We had the most incredible guide Toribio who was so knowledgeable and funny and couldn’t do enough for us, He taught us some of the local Quechuan language. As well as our super international chef Juvenal who cooked the most amazing food. We had more food than we could eat and it was so delicious! The porters are absolutely amazing they carry all your gear and are super fast! There were other tour groups and companies on the trail but we always had the best camp sites. Highly recommend this amazing team.

The best Machu Picchu experience - The last campsite is amazing, I would definitely opt for the five day tour just for the view over Machu Picchu on that night. The guides are knowledgeable fun and try to accommodate everyone, the food was really good as well. They were extremely forthcoming, the group vibe was great, we were laughing all the time even when we were hiking in the rain. Maybe May is a bit safer when it comes to the weather but that's never a guarantee. The best tour I've done during my South America trip. Roger, Miguel and Gilbert really made this trip special.

An Unforgettable Journey with Roger - It was an incredible experience to be part of this trail. What I particularly enjoyed was how much information we received from our tour guide, Roger. Not only on the way up and down, but also at the dining table and during the in-between moments. Everyone grew close to each other, forming a small family during this short trek. The food was simply amazing—I couldn't have imagined anything better. Roger shared so many stories and insights into life in Peru. It was simply unforgettable.

Choquequirao, the beauty of a challenging trek - The trip was amazing! We where so lucky with weather and staff. Our tour guide filio started with a coca ceremony asking the “apus” (mountain gods) to take care of us and they sure did! No doubt It is a challenging trip but our chef and helper filled our souls with fresh and local food that took us directly to our next campsite. What a beautiful experience.

Tough trip but increadible at the same time - We had a great guide, Filio, who took good care of us, asked the spirits of the mountains for blessings which reflected in a superb trip in all respect ; weather,food and our health throughout and until the end. Special note on the food which was an experience in itself ! Very challenging route,steep and coarse tracks but the cook deserves a special note, Balbino did magic. Highly recommended.
