- WLWilfred· December 11th, 2022I think the 3 day camping/4 day hike at high altitude is very challenging. You are moving at a fast pace with your oxygen saturation in the 80s ( all except 1 individual in our group) in unpredictable weather. The hike may be more enjoyable if the pace is changed (another day is added to the itinerary). Besides that -it was well organized, team leaders worked well, porters and cooks were fantastic. I am writing this detailed review so that people who want to sign up will know what the challenges are.Show more
Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Wilfred, Thank you for providing such a detailed review. You are certain right - the Inca Trail hike is a challenging one!

Trip date: December 2019 - ALiam N· September 18th, 2019The porters were great, the food was amazing and we were all kept safe. Lose one mark as the guide in Cusco did not communicate information well. I suggest he prints/writes down basic information for the next day and pin it up on a pin board.Show moreTrip date: December 2018

- CMCandace· September 22nd, 2019Fabricio was incredible. I actually got an gastrointestinal infection during the inca trail but he was so compassionate and sensitive to ensure that I was ok. He checked on me often and got me a doctor. He even gave me his number to contact him even after the tour was over just in case I was still feeling ill after I left Cusco. He was amazing and I'm very grateful to him. As a female traveling alone, he definitely made me feel less alone. Great guy and very passionate about what he does. I hope he is well recognized by Intrepid.Show moreTrip date: August 2019
