“The premium package made a major difference. Watching others eating box lunches out in the cold or queue to use the rather basic local toilets made us realize how lucky we were to sign up for this extra.
Our guide was great. He has a great personality, good English, and a strong service mentality. Based on what we saw on the mountain, he is one of the best guides around. He is also a tight manager of his team, with the result that everything ran very efficiently.”
Blair P., Hong Kong, 7-day Machame

Premium Inca Trail Package
For those who enjoy trekking and definitely want to hike the Inca Trail, BUT prefer some of the finer amenities, we have added a “deluxe” option. This is the same 5-day/4-night itinerary but the trek services and the hotel accommodations are upgraded for your added comfort. Take note: the famous classic Inca Trail does not have lodges. On this trek you won’t mind sleeping on the ground… after a warm shower and massage!
