Amazing trip!

"We had the amazing experience in Inca Trail with AdventureTripr and locally trexperience. It was well organized with great communication, accommodations and execution. Our guides Klever, Willian, Fernando and Meribel was fantastic! They treated us like family and took care of each one of us with a smile on their face. We were welcomed with a cheer once we are done with the day hike and back to the campsite. It made our hearts happy! Chefs Valentino and team prepared delicious food and there was not repeat of menu each day. We left our foot prints in the Inca trail and carried a life time memories back home!! I highly recommend AdventureTripr for your worldly adventures."

Amazing trip!

"We had the amazing experience in Inca Trail with Adventure Tripr and locally trexperiemce. Starting from the planning of the trip, packing list , training plan , airport pickup/drop off to actual execution of the Trek was very commendable. Our guides were extremely passionate, compassionate, generous and disciplined. Willian and Klever spoke clearly on our day trips explaining the history of Peru and Inca culture. Fernando was super encouraging and helpful. Marybel was another kind guide who did her job with a smile. The porters were super amazing always welcoming us with a smile. Through out the camping, we were taken care with extreme hygiene and care. Chefs Valentino and tram prepped delicious vegetarian delicacies and there was not repeat of menu each day. Each day we returned for lunch or dinner, we were welcomed with a cheer and not one hiker was left alone. Guides ensured that everyone is encouraged and time is maintained. Given the group of 28hikers, it definitely kept the guides on toes but they never lost their cool or sense of humor. Very grateful for the experience."
