    We went on a 5 day Ancascocha trek with Rox as our guide. It was an incredible trip - from Rox's knowledge to the accommodations to the food - above and beyond what we expected. The logistics of the whole trip were taken care of to the minute detail, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend Action Peru Treks if you are planning on doing a guided trek to Machu Picchu!

    My friends and I had the best experience with Action Peru Treks! Our tour guide, Sabi, was so patient, kind, knowledgeable, and in general an awesome leader! The cooks on our trek cooked the most delicious meals! We were amazed how they could cook such delicious food in the middle of nowhere. All crew members on our trek were amazing, sweet, helpful, caring people! We always felt so safe even though we were far from civilization. I highly recommend booking a trek with Action Peru Treks! I have fond wonderful memories of our trip and I can't wait to go back to Peru to go on another adventure with Action Peru Treks! Peru is a beautiful country with so much to explore!

    An incredible trek with an exceptional company. Everything was meticulously planned, Freddie our guide was super knowledgable and made everyone feel like we were in safe hands. The camping experience was first class - comfortable tents and incredible food. If you are planning a trek from Cusco I highly recommend you use these guys!

    We had a group of 16, cousins, friends, adult children, we've all hiked together before and wanted to hike in Peru. It was a large group to accommodate and some of us were not as athletic as others but Roxner and Jorge and their team made sure everyone was watched after and the meals and campsite preparation were without exception top-class. Every detail was taken care and well planned. We not only enjoyed the hike tremendously but consider everyone at Action Peru Treks part of our family now, we love them.

  • H

    Heidi

    Asked on November 3rd, 2023

    Are the tickets for Maccu piccu included in this trek as I'm aware there are only so many tickets per day. Also is there a certain amount of tip expected as we were told this before hand when we previously did a trek to the top of kilimanjaro.

    Payments
    Tour Details
    • Action Peru TreksOperatorWritten November 2023

      The Machu Picchu tickets are included in the trek cost. Tips are optional and voluntary. Here are some amounts that our travelers usually tip to our staff at the end of the trek. Guide: 250 soles or more, Cook: 150 soles, Assistant cook: 100 soles, Horseman: 100 soles. The amounts above are average so it can be more or less. As stated above tips are up to you.

    Is tipping included?

    • Action Peru TreksOperatorWritten December 2018

      Tipping is not included in your tour cost. While tipping is not required, it is a common practice in Latin America. If you feel your guide and crew went above and beyond to make your trip special, tipping would be greatly appreciated.

    Asked on December 21st, 2018

    What altitudes can I expect?

    • Action Peru TreksOperatorWritten December 2018

      You can expect to experience altitudes from 10,000 feet up to 17,000 feet. We recommend staying a few days in Cusco before your tour to adjust to the altitude, particularly if you are prone to altitude sickness. Please consult your doctor if you are concerned with the altitude.

      All of Action Peru Treks are challenging and often take place on rugged and isolated terrain. It is recommended that you are reasonably fit and healthy to fully enjoy your tour. Please consult your doctor if you are concerned with the altitude or your ability to trek through the Andes.

    Jennifer

    Asked on December 21st, 2018

    Do I need an Inca Trail permit?

    Tour Details
    Visa
    • Action Peru TreksOperatorWritten December 2018

      Yes! Please ensure that there are permits available on your date of travel before you book your tour, as the Peruvian government only allow a small number of trekkers and permits per day to preserve the natural beauty of the Inca Trail. Please contact your Travel Expert for permit availabilities.
