Adventure of a lifetime!

03-Jul-2024

I had the best experience on the Inca Jungle Trek with guide José Luis. The tour was the perfect mix of busy adventure with relaxing to enjoy the scenery. Our guide was super flexible to the needs and wants of the group, knowledgeable about the trail and history related, and attentive to make sure everyone got the most out of the trip (to the point of encouraging and directing those of us yet to get our ticket to Machu Picchu). Highly recommend for those looking for something a bit more engaging and exciting in their journey to Machu Picchu!

10/10 for this tour

03-Jul-2024

I can’t recommend this tour enough. Lots of activities, all accommodation and food was varied but I loved it all. Our guide Jose was brilliant. Very informative and helpful and a great laugh to boot. Told us all about the history of the Incas and the trail as well as about all of the nature and fauna, we even made our own coffee one morning which was gorgeous. I loved everything about this tour and thanks again Jose for being a great guide 😎👍

Machu Picchu done right

03-Jul-2024

The highlight of my trip to south america! José and Gustavo are locals that have a great knowledge of the region & clearly are passionate about its history. They brought us to really cool secluded locations in the jungle for food/accommodation, went to some real hidden gems! Quite a busy schedule with activities/treks for the four days with early starts every day, but also time for cervezas in the evening if you fancy, which we (irish) definitely appreciated! Two very fun guides & a great group of twelve of us from Brazil, US, Japan etc, couldn’t recommend enough!

We had a great time on this tour, Jose and Franklin were the best guides! Met some lovely people and enjoyed all the activities and of course Machu Picchu was as incredible as expected!
