I had a fantastic time on the 2 day Inca trail with Machu Piccu. Henry was our guide and made sure everyone in the group felt comfortable. It was challenging, but anyone in decent physical condition can make the hike. I have to say this one probably the most memorable experience I have had. By the way, I am 64 years old and made it, you can make it as well.

My partner and I visited from the states to do the 2 day 1 night Inca trail. Herbert was our guide, and he was absolutely incredible. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and very personable. If able, I recommend requesting him as your guide! He kept a great pace, and was very aware of the surroundings & others around us. He has great expertise on the Incan history & will be able to answer any and all questions!! Not to mention- he was our professional photographer on the way! He took the BEST photos :) Efrain was also a great driver, highly recommend! Drives very safe & is highly educated on the area around Cusco.

Amazing trip! Well coordinated and smooth the entire way. Juan de dios was an excellent guide who was very patient with our endless questions about flowers along the trail. Bring more water than you think you need!!
