We did thr 2 day Inca Trail and it was amazing. Our guide, Henry, briefed is the night before the 2 day excursion. He was on time, professional and answered all our questions. Although at times the hike was a bit strenuous, Henry made sure to provide us with breaks and encouraged us all the way. Getting to the sungaye was absolitely breathe taking. We learned so much about Machu Picchu and Henry also k ew where to take the best photos. He did an amazing job and I'd absolutely recommend a tour from him.

Was für ein Erlebnis!! Den Moment wenn man Machu picchu zum ersten mal erblickt und weiss, dass man selbstständig den Weg zurückgelegt hat ist einfach genial. Ich ging von rustikalem Essen aus, aber unser Koch hat jeden Tag zwei köstliche Gerichte mit jeweils mehreren Beilagen auf seinem Campingherd gekocht. Dss ganze Team hat sich extrem viel Mühe gegeben diese Woche unvergesslich zu machen. Auch auf dem Weg hatten wir viele interessante und schöne Erlebnisse von einem Kaffeerösten bis zu einer Zeremonie mit Cocablättern auf dem Salkantay Pass. Es sind ein paar strenge aber unvergessliche Tage. Mein Team : Yisus Sebastian Genaro
