Ukończenie 4-dniowego Inca Trail było jednym z najlepszych doświadczeń w moim życiu. Wszystko było zorganizowane perfekcyjnie od początku do końca. Nasz przewodnik Paolo Fernandez zasługuje na ocenę 11/10 – ogromna wiedza, profesjonalizm, świetne poczucie humoru i nieustanna troska o całą grupę sprawiły, że ta wyprawa była jeszcze bardziej wyjątkowa. Porterzy byli absolutnie niesamowici. Zawsze na czas, uśmiechnięci, pomocni i niezwykle pracowici. To dzięki nim mogliśmy w pełni cieszyć się trekkingiem. Są to naprawdę wspaniali ludzie, którym należy się ogromny szacunek. Sama trasa jest przepiękna – zapierające dech w piersiach widoki, fascynująca historia i niezapomniane chwile każdego dnia. To było niezwykłe doświadczenie, które na zawsze pozostanie w mojej pamięci. Gorąco polecam tę wyprawę każdemu. Dziękuję całemu zespołowi za stworzenie tak wyjątkowej przygody!

Gran experiencia para desconectarse de la ciudad... y mejor aún el servicio del guía Paolo Fernández, top.

TL;DR - I’ve personally used this company (hiking/touring with Percy Lanza) not once but twice and highly recommend them—and strongly urge you to book 2 or 3 days, NOT just the 1-day Inca Trail! I did the 1-day Inca Trail with Percy on a girls’ trip in July 2022 and did not hesitate to book with him again when I returned this July with my family. I knew I could trust him to take good care of us and he did not disappoint! This time we did a 3-day tour, and I’m SO GLAD we extended it! The Sacred Valley tour on day 1 was fantastic—there is just so much more to see besides Machu Picchu. From the weaving demonstration at Chinchero to the incredible site of Moray to a delicious buffet lunch in Urubamba, we loved it all. Staying in Ollantaytambo was perfect—not only did we get to explore the amazing ruins there, but we also got more sleep the night before our hike. Having experienced both ways, I cannot stress enough how much better it is to do the hike, then stay in Aguas Calientes and go back to Machu Picchu the next day for a guided tour. It’s doable in one day, but it’s a LONG day, and harder to appreciate MP when you’re exhausted. Four years ago, we were sort of hiking “on the clock.” We toured MP on jelly legs, then had barely enough time for celebratory drinks before catching the train back to Cusco. This time, it was so nice not to have to rush our hike but be able to enjoy the spectacular views along the way. Plus we got to see MP twice! At the end of our hike, we enjoyed the views from the upper terrace, then took the bus down for the relief of showers and naps. I enjoyed MP ***so much more*** the day after our hike, when I was clean and rested. Plus, AC is a lovely town (at a lower elevation than Cusco, which means better sleep!) and it’s so nice to have extra time there to explore the markets and eat delicious food! Since Percy already had another tour booked before I reached out to him, he arranged for Iza Cabrera to come on day 3 and take us to Machu Picchu. We loved getting to meet and learn from her as well--she was delightful! I wholeheartedly recommend both of them. It is such a gift to have absolutely every detail taken care of—from train, bus, and archaeological site tickets to hiking permits to boxed breakfasts and lunches to private drivers and hotels and restaurant reservations. The cost, in light of all they provide and manage, is honestly a steal. Book a 3-day tour! I’m not into overnight backpacking but this felt like the best of both worlds. And hiking in from the Inca Trail is truly the *only* way to experience Machu Picchu.

Czterodniowy trekking do Machu Picchu i Huayna Picchu to niezapomniane przeżycie! Ogrom emocji, adrenaliny i wspaniała przygoda, która na długo pozostanie w naszej pamięci. Trasa była dostosowana do możliwości każdego uczestnika, dzięki czemu mogliśmy w pełni cieszyć się całą wyprawą. Ogromne podziękowania należą się naszym przewodnikom, a szczególnie Pablo, który towarzyszył nam przez wszystkie 4 dni aż na szczyt Huayna Picchu. Jego profesjonalizm, zaangażowanie i wsparcie były nieocenione. Jeśli chcecie przeżyć coś wyjątkowego – zjechać jedną z najdłuższych tyrolek w Peru, spędzić niezapomnianą noc w dżungli i dotrzeć do magicznego Machu Picchu – z całego serca polecam tę firmę! ❤️ Właśnie dziś zakończyliśmy naszą czterodniową przygodę i już wiemy, że były to jedne z najpiękniejszych chwil w naszym życiu. Dziękuję🙏🏔️🌿💚✨ — Renata
