What an amazing experience, I would absolutely recommend it (and have already done so to friends). The tour guides deserve a special mention, Gabriel & francisco who were just great giving information on the way , insights into life in Peru (Quechuan & Spanish) , taking their time and making sure we had a good time. The BEST thing about the Reserv Cusco expeditions was the communication, which was excellent. The food in Peru is excellent, I am a vegetarian…”

He quickly responded and reassured me they had sizes that would fit him, which was wonderful as the rubber boots are a must for the muddy trails. Our guide Saulo grew up in the jungle and was very knowledgeable and quick to point out various wildlife. After heating toucans he quickly had them…”

He also had a great sense of humour it was fun to have a joke and a laugh with him along the way. One of the highlights was when he even played football with us during the trek, which made the experience feel extra special. Overall, it was unforgettable, and I’m really glad Fernando was our guide.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 65 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,050

Hike the four-day Classic Inca Trail from Cusco to Machu Picchu with a professional guide, porters, camp meals, tents, permits, and return transport. The route includes Inca sites, mountain scenery, jungle, and arrival through the Sun Gate. Groups are limited to 16 people.

“Our guide, Freddy, was excellent and had great knowledge of Quechuan history and culture. The cook, Armando, was also excellent and prepared meals, worthy of a fine restaurant using camp cooking equipment. Finally, our porters were extremely capable, helpful, and kind. On the other hand, the company, Quechuas Expeditions, was disorganized and did not seem very interested in our trip. For example, unlike other companies, whose clients were hiking around us, they did not provide a clean portable toilet, but instead left us to use the atrocious bathroom facilities along the Inca Trail. Also, the guide was not scheduled to accompany us all the way from Machu Picchu to our…”

Ride downhill from Abra Málaga, raft toward Santa María, hike through coffee and coca fields, zipline near Santa Teresa, then walk to Machu Picchu. This small-group trip includes three nights, meals, a guide and the train to Ollantaytambo, but Machu Picchu entry and the mountain bus cost extra.

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
