Max· September 15th, 2025This was one of the hardest challenges I have personally faced and TreXperience made the journey so much easier. The Chef, Sous chef, Head Porter and Porter gang themselves were absolutely incredible. Highly recommend hiking the Inka Trail to Machu Pichu with this company. Food was incredible and plentiful (Big Thanks to "Alejandro" and "Bruno") Dan "The Legend" Tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, a brilliant guide to have with many stories and motivational speeches. Guide Assistant "Rayo" was always cheerful and trying his best to keep people moving and motivated for the long walks (at your own pace as well, not pressured once). Everything was explained day in and day out with no confusion and all in all it was a great experience. The Porters carried all additional personal belongings, clothes and extras in the duffle bags as well as all the food and necessary camp gear that make the journey easier, its amazing what they do. Massive thanks to them and Head Porter "Alfredo". So big, big thank you for this comapny for making this happen!!!Show more
Trip date: August 2025- Sergi· July 15th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishWe have just completed the Inca Trail with TreXperience agency and the experience has been exceptional. Our guide Daniel made us enjoy every moment with his closeness, humor and deep knowledge about the Inca culture, which he knew how to transmit to us with passion at all times. Thanks to him, we felt that we were truly walking in the footsteps of this ancient civilization. We would also like to highlight Anthony, an exceptional guide, always attentive and committed, very close to all of us. We would also like to thank Chef Ismael, who surprised us every day with his delicious cuisine, even in such demanding conditions. However, I think it is important to point out an aspect that affects all companies in general: the working conditions of the porters. It is clear that they work in disproportionate circumstances, and we consider it essential that their conditions be reviewed and improved as a matter of urgency. On the other hand, the toilets of the facilities along the route were in a deplorable state, becoming unhealthy and inhumane. It would be necessary to implement a regular cleaning, supervision and maintenance service to guarantee minimum hygienic and dignified conditions for all hikers and workers. In summary, it has been a unique and unforgettable experience, crowned with the arrival at Machu Picchu, which was simply spectacular and unforgettable. We hope that in the future progress will also be made in the dignity of those who make this adventure possible.Show moreTrip date: July 2025

- EHEllen· January 4th, 2025Big shout out to Trexperience, I don’t know if they ever had a customer as confused as me, I must have changed my mind 20+ times during the booking process over which tour I wanted, what dates would work and what equipment I needed as well as with my travel arrangements even after the trek was completed. They remained patient and kind throughout and accommodated all my needs. The trek was exactly what I was looking for. Tour guide Manolo is so deep and passionate he truly brought the mountains alive for me as well as steering us clear of the crowds and ensuring we had the best experience possible. Tour guide Meliton was an angel, taking beautiful care of the whole group throughout, what a treat to be woken in the morning with a coffee poured by Meliton. Head porter Toro always had the warmest smile for us, the whole porter operation was clearly on point. And our chef Celso and sous chef Juanita -I don’t know how they were able to produce such luxurious feasts everyday that were clearly cooked with love, just amazing. Overall, it was simply a privilege to be looked after so well on this once-in-a-lifetime experience, thank you so much Trexperience!Show moreTrip date: December 2024

- SQSam· December 26th, 2024I recently completed an incredible Inca Trail trek, and it was truly an experience of a lifetime! Our guide, Raynoldo, was outstanding. His knowledge of Inca history and personal stories made every step of the journey engaging and memorable. Raynoldo’s encouragement and positivity kept the group motivated, especially during the tougher sections of the trail while giving attention to the ones who were struggling the most. The organization, amazing food, and overall attention to detail exceeded my expectations from the porters and chefs. If you're considering the Inca Trail, I highly recommend this tour and ask for Raynoldo; he’s the best!Show moreTrip date: December 2024

I want to extend a heartfelt thanks to Benedicto and his entire team for their admirable work throughout the trek. And what about the food? Chef Julio César exceeded all my expectations!

Donna
Asked on July 28th, 2025how strenuous is the hike, I am 50 and walking is not a problem but never did a hard hike
TreXperienceOperator•Written July 2025The Classic Inca Trail is considered moderate to challenging, but many people in their 50s (and beyond!) complete it successfully — especially if they are in good health and comfortable with walking several hours a day. The trek is spread over 4 days and 3 nights, covering 42 km / 26 miles. Here's a brief look at the hiking difficulty by day: - Day 1: Moderate — about 6 hours of hiking, gentle terrain - Day 2: The most challenging — includes the ascent to Dead Woman's Pass (4,215 m / 13,829 ft), which involves a steep climb and then a descent - Day 3: Moderate — shorter distance, more time to enjoy the cloud forest and Inca sites - Day 4: Easy to moderate — final short hike to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate You'll be guided by experienced professionals who support hikers of all ages and fitness levels. Porters carry your gear, so you only hike with a small daypack. The itinerary is designed to allow for acclimatization, and our guides keep a close eye on everyone's health throughout the trek. If walking is comfortable for you and you take time to prepare with light hikes or cardio before the trip, you'll be in great shape to enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Traveler•Written July 2025I'm in my 69th year, active and very interested in this hike.
- TreXperienceOperator•Written July 2025
If you're considering a group service, please note that our shared tours include up to 16 participants with 2 professional guides for personalized attention. However, when traveling with young children, we usually recommend a private service, which allows for greater flexibility and a pace tailored to your family's needs.

Asked on June 24th, 2025Is there availability this date for two people and what do we need to prepare for trip. Will we get information about pick up and what to bring, etc
- TreXperienceOperator•Written June 2025
Unfortunately, the 4-day Inca Trail is already sold out until early October. The earliest available date is October 19. However, we would be delighted to offer you an excellent alternative: the Premium Salkantay Trek (4 days), starting on July 22.

Asked on June 9th, 2025Is it too late to book this trip for this August?
- TreXperienceOperator•Written June 2025
Unfortunately, the Inca Trail is already sold out until the first week of October. However, if your dates are still available, you can consider this alternative trek to Salkantay and Machu Picchu. If not, I can offer you other alternative treks to explore this stunning region.

Ashley
Asked on May 10th, 2025Is tour 2 included in the Machu Picchu visit?
- TreXperienceOperator•Written May 2025
The 4-day Inca Trail includes an entrance to Machu Picchu on the final day of the trek. This visit follows Circuit 1 you will arrive to the upper part to Machu Picchu where you will take the traditional picture and Circuit 3, which covers the lower sections of the citadel, including significant areas such as the Main Plaza, the Sacred Rock, and the Temple of the Sun. This route offers a comprehensive experience of Machu Picchu's key archaeological sites.

Amanda
Asked on April 1st, 2025Could I please check whether the trip includes a permit for the Inca Trail, or would we have to purchase this ourselves?
- TreXperienceOperator•Written April 2025
The Classic Inca Trail includes a special government-issued permit, which also grants access to Machu Picchu. Therefore, you do not need to purchase any additional tickets on your own — we'll take care of everything for you.

Asked on April 1st, 2025Is the age limit of 70 a strictly enforced? At 75, I'm athletic and active. Every year I take three hiking trips in Great Smoky Mountain National Park in America, and on each trip I take 3 hikes in 3 days: 14 miles/4000', 13 miles/4000', and 10 miles/3000'. I did 'via frararra' (I pulled myself up on cables in long distance due to the absence of trail) in Bulgaria (2023) and Italy (2024). I checked this itinerary and I am confident I can manage these hikes, although the elevation is quite higher than what I'm used to. So far the highest elevation I hiked is 13400'. Let me know your opinion.
- TreXperienceOperator•Written April 2025
Regarding the Salkantay Trek, the age limit of 70 is indeed a guideline that we adhere to for safety reasons, primarily due to the high altitude and remote nature of the trail. While you are clearly in excellent shape, we want to ensure that all our guests have the safest and most enjoyable experience. Given your experience and fitness level, I would highly recommend the Classic Inca Trail (4 days, 3 nights) as an alternative. This trek reaches similar altitudes but offers a more gradual ascent, well-maintained paths, and the unique advantage of arriving at Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate—a truly unforgettable experience.

Eva
Traveler•Written April 2025Could you send me a link to check the 4D/3N 'Classic Inca Trail' you referenced? I saw a few tours with this names on the web. Some of them have the age limit of 60. I have seen tours with the same itinerary, by the same operator, but by different tour companies. Could you explain why?
- TreXperienceOperator•Written April 2025
We don't have a strict age limit for the Inca Trail. Instead, we base our recommendations on your overall physical condition and hiking experience. We've had many travelers over the age of 60 complete the trek successfully and enjoyably. You may see different age restrictions listed by other tour companies or platforms, even for the same route, because some third-party agencies apply their own internal policies, which are not official government regulations.

- TreXperienceOperator•Written March 2025

Sean
Asked on March 20th, 2025would like to travel marxh 2026, when will these dates become available & is this a good time of year to ne doing the trail?
- TreXperienceOperator•Written March 2025
You can book in advance as we start securing entrance tickets for the Inca Trail from October this year. The Inca Trail is closed in February, and no operator can book during that month. March is a great time to visit, as the trail's vegetation recovers and plants begin to blossom.
