    I recently booked an Inca Trail Trek through you. Your partners, Explorandes, did an outstanding job and provided us with a really great time. Everything from Silvio being the mater scheduler and rescheduled to Paco’s expert guide skills was top notch. Please continue using them, they really provided a super service. Erik N

    This is the absolute best choice if you´re thinking about doing the Inca Trail! In the first three days, we didn´t see any other hikers on the trail, only some local people working on their fields. The food was delicious and for sure we didn´t get hungry at any point. We had our own toilette tents close to our tents which was great, especially at night. Also, the warm water for washing in the morning and the afternoon was great and after day 1 we even had a hot shower on our campsite. The last trekking day we left the camp later than the other groups which allowed us to have the trail mostly to ourselves as well when we walked through the sun gate Inti Punku to finally see Machu Picchu for the first time. This is definitely an experience we´ll never forget. Totally worth the money!
