What travelers are saying

"Thanks to Kudos, we had a spectacular and memorable trip to Peru. Five stars is too few to amply describe the amazing service and experience they provided us. Every hotel they placed us in was fabulous. We loved every daily activity they planned for us. We had the most incredible guide (Jeremy, who could easily teach grad school classes in Incan history) and driver (Peter), who shepherded us from one extraordinary site to another, including the iconic Machu Picchu. Highlights of the trip: feeding the baby alpacas each morning at the Belmond Rio Sagrado hotel, riding the Belmond Hiram Bingham to Machu Picchu, the spectacular Machu Picchu, visiting the the female master textile weavers and their children's school near Lake Pray, and culminating with the glorious Inti Raymi celebration in the Plaza de Armas of Cusco (from a balcony reserved for us by Kuoda)."

"Because of the pandemic, we had to reschedule our cruise from July of 2020 to December 2020. Airlines were not flying out of our city to Manaus in December, so we had to cancel our cruise and asked for a refund, and was denied. I would never work with this cruise line again."

"Just got back from an incredible adventure. Bhutan was more than I could have ever expected. There was an abundance of good travel karma throughout the trip. The guide, Bhim, was great, very accommodating, and personalized the trip in many amazing ways, and though him I got to know the people and the culture close up and personal. The whole thing went off without a hitch. Bhutan was the most amazing place I have ever been."

What travelers are saying

"I did the 4 days Inca Trek with Trexperience and it was an amazing experience! Our guide, Charly, was very nice company and he told us many things on the way about different Inca sites, the nature and its animals and flowers und peruvian and Inca Culture in general. The night before the trip, Charly came to our place for a briefing about the upcoming hike and about all the things we should or shouldn't take, so we felt very well prepared. The next morning we were picked up at the Hotel and drove with a minivan to the starting point of the tour. On the way we visted a little school, that now can afford some computers with internet connection that because they are supported bei Trexperience, which was very nice to see! When the hike started it was a great journey. The breathtaking scenery during the hike was absolute worth the challenging walk. We were perfectly supported by the Trexperience crew of porters and a cook. They provided absolutey everything we needed and more. The food was absolutey stunning and I wouldn't have thought these were meals cooked on a mountain without a proper kitchen. The service of the porters, the cook and the guide was absolutely worth the price, the work they do really is incredible. For that reason I was very happy to see, that Trexperience is a company which cares for their porters and provided equipment for them and treats them well - unfortunately not every company we saw on the way did this... All in all I can absolutely recommend Trexperience for the Inca Trail in Peru and in general I can recommend the Inca Trail, it is an unforgettable amazing experience! Many thanks from Germany and many greetings to Charly and the whole crew:)"

What travelers are saying

"Very good tour with lots of variety. As it’s a new tour I feel that it could be improved a bit. For eg personally I would rather have stayed in barranco than Mirraflores as it seemed to have more to offer. All the hotels were good. Breakfast in hassienda Cusco was disappointing. Also wasn’t too interested in victor delfinos house. It would have been nice if we could have tried our hand at pisco making. Rather than just watching although interesting. Cerviche making was good but again could we have made it ourselves? When we had lunch at sumaq it wasn’t wine tasting as we know it but 2 glasses of wine with lunch, Food lovely. the potato visit was very interesting. Pacha manca lunch was very good, as was the gunea pig restaurant in Arequipa. Really enjoyed Arequipa. And of course Machu Picchu was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip overall and Darwin, our guide was super fab. All the food was amazing. Had an amazing time"

"We joined the Intrepid “Real Italy Food Tour” and enjoyed it thoroughly. Our tour guide, Micol, was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of good information. It seems Micol knew many of the staff of the venues we visited, including the pasta making class we attended. Our group of 11 travelers was extremely compatible, which greatly added to the fun and enjoyment."

"The tour had an excellent itinerary and activities, giving a broad overview of Peru - we loved it. Accommodations (with one exception) were great, and all had an included breakfast buffet. The tour's included activities (e.g. cooking class, pisco tour and tasting, potato park, boat tour of Isla Ballestas) were terrific. Appreciated the two included flights which saved a lot of driving time. Logistics were handled, and everything was smooth and easy (thanks to our CEO, Mary Chu!)."

"Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your team for a fantastic holiday in Argentina! We loved the country and the people. The highlights for us was Iguazu Falls, the wine tour & the little hotel in Mendoza and the Glacier trekking. The Glacier was amazing!!! All flights were on time and your guides were always there to meet and great. Please pass on a special thank you to Carla who looked after us in BA and kept in touch all through our travels. Thanks again to Lujan, who did a fantastic job putting it all together and we will recommend you and your company to all our friends & family."

Inca Trail Tour Selection Trips

  • The Inca Trail is the most famous of three major treks one can take to get to Machu Picchu. The other two are the Salkantay Trek and the Lares Trek.
  • In order to protect both the trail itself and the site at Machu Picchu, only 500 people per day are permitted on the Inca Trail. For this reason, it’s important to book well in advance!
  • You cannot hike the trail independently. You must go with a guide, which you can arrange in country, but if you do this, beware of scams. A more sure way is to book a guided trip with a reputable company, of which there are many.
  • Prepare for the altitude! If you’re not used to being in high altitude, it can be a shock, and put a damper on your whole experience. One good option is spending a few days in Cusco to acclimate. 
  • If you have the opportunity, it’s also a good idea to train in the months leading up to the trek. Thousands of people hike the trail every year - of all fitness levels, but being in shape will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.
  • Be sure to break in your hiking boots well before embarking on your trek!
