    Big 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!

    I 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!

    This Inca trail trek was SO much fun. I’d highly recommend it. Trexperience was so easy to work with. They were organized and professional. Huge shoutout to our guides - Daniel and Alejandro. The porters led by Benedicto were so sweet, funny, and encouraging. Last but not least the food was AMAZING. Chef Julio Cesar is a magician.

    I had the chance to complete the Inka Trail with Trexperience, guided by Daniel and Alejandro. We were a group of 10 hikers, and the experience was simply incredible. The team of porters was outstanding—always smiling and kind, despite the heavy loads they carried. 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! Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and I’m still amazed by what he was able to achieve in such conditions. In summary, I highly recommend Trexperience. An unforgettable adventure!

    It was excellent. The amount of ruins that you see is mind blowing. The nature is breath taking and can’t be shown properly in a mere picture. Our tour guides Klever and Rosemil were amazing. They are both very knowledgeable and patient. They are very friendly and fun to joke around with. If you want the best experience on the Inca trail you need to request them

    Ashley

    Asked on May 10th, 2025

    Is tour 2 included in the Machu Picchu visit?

    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten 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, 2025

    Could I please check whether the trip includes a permit for the Inca Trail, or would we have to purchase this ourselves?

    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten 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.

    Eva

    Asked on April 1st, 2025

    Is 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.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten 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

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      Could 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?

    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten 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.

    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten March 2025

      Classic Inca Trail for May and June is already sold out. We'd love to offer you a great alternative: the Lares Trek 5 Days with the Short Inca Trail, which includes a portion of the Inca Trail and also ends at Machu Picchu.

    would like to travel marxh 2026, when will these dates become available & is this a good time of year to ne doing the trail?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten 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.

    Asked on March 4th, 2025

    Tour Details

    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten March 2025

      yes, you can leave your extra luggage at your hotel in Cusco or in our warehouse free of charge while you are hiking—so no worries about that. Your belongings will be safely stored.

  • G

    George

    Asked on February 19th, 2025

    I'm in the initial stages of looking into the Machu Picchu hiking trip. I'm thinking about going on the trip in September or October if available. Weather wise, is that a good time to likely avoid rain? Also, are there accommodations for showers at the campsites?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten February 2025

      The Classic Inca Trail is still available for coming months like September and October! These months are dry and sunny, making them an ideal time for trekking. While occasional light rain may occur, it is nothing compared to the heavy rains of January-March. On the 4-Day Inca Trail, showers are limited and only available at certain campsites: First & Second Night: No showers available. Third Night (Wiñay Wayna Camp): There are public showers, but they have cold water only. Bringing wet wipes is highly recommended for your personal use. We will also provide towels soaked in warm water for washing and personal hygiene along the route.

    Tracey

    Asked on February 19th, 2025

    Can you confirm if you have storage for our other luggage in Cuzco while we are hiking?

    Tour Details

    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes all our clients has the complementary storage service for their extra lugagge during the hike, we normally receive your extra lugagge at the pick up time and make an stop in our warehouse before we leave the city. In this sense, you have a safe place to store your extra lugagge with us during the hiek.

  • C

    Carl

    Asked on February 15th, 2025

    Do I have to bring a sleeping bag and a mattress on me? If I borrow them. So If I bring them, I'll take take a big backpack.

    Tour Details
    • TreXperienceOperatorWritten February 2025

      Yes, of course, you can bring your own sleeping bag and mattress for the trek. However, if you prefer, we can also rent these items for you. The prices are: Sleeping bag: $25 USD, Mattress: $20 USD. For payment, we can send you a link, or if you prefer, you can pay at our office during your briefing session (the day before your trek). Also, please remember that during the trek, you won't need to carry these items yourself. With the help of our amazing porters (the true heroes of the Inca Trail), 7 kg of your belongings will be carried: 3 kg for camping gear (sleeping bag and mattress) and 4 kg for your personal items.
