Cusco-Sacred Valley-Machu Picchu Trip

The team did an outstanding job during our weeklong trip to Cusco-the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Logistics, tickets, hotels, all of it was smooth, and their guides are passionate and knowledgeable about the sites we were visiting. As tourism has increased globally, travel has gotten more complex in a sense, with limited space and availability at many highly visited places. The Sacred Valley is one of these. I would highly recommend a competent firm to make your trip enjoyable and a success.

Can't recommend it enough

I had one of the best trips of my life at the Inka Trail. The staff was top notch, very knowledgeable and friendly. I met amazing people along the way who I have the pleasure to call friends. Definitely want to repeat the trip and would recommend it to anyone who wants to explore the Andes while making memorable moments for life.
