We had an awesome time with Inka Trail Expeditions! Yisus was an incredible guide and was extremely knowledgeable about all the sights along the trail. Our chef, Mario, made amazing food and even made a birthday cake for my birthday. The head porter, Vincent, took great care of our camp sites and it was always a pleasure to come into camp being cheered on. We will remember this trip for a long time.
