“What can I say... I didn't know what to fully expect as I'd reviewed many different Rainforest Tour Company's for this holiday... some were multiple times more expensive. On leaving the Tour, I can honestly say I had an absolutely fantastic time and so glad I chose this option (regardless of the price). The vibe is super chilled and everyone is like a big friendly family... including the on site macows and dogs. Although it's somewhat relaxed, everything is well organised with clear itinerary and start times, transport is spot on, accomodation is great, food is home cooked and tasty. Furthermore, the tour guide is a total legend (Sergio) and…”

The lodge and bungalows were somewhat rundown but the staff was amazing. Our tour guide (Jhonatan) was the best. He spotted many of the animals and birds that others never saw. It was an unforgettable experience!”

The trek entailed many history lessons from Fernando where everyone learned so much. There were different levels of fitness on the trek and Fernando accommodated everyone, provided coco leaves, and encouraged us at times where we were exhausted. The food on the trek was absolutely amazing, the chef outdid himself every night. The accommodation on the mountain was very comfortable aswell. I thought the prices and tips were all very fair, I wish I could…”

Classic Inca Trail 4 days to Machu Picchu

14.Classic Inca Trail 4 days to Machu Picchu

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 65 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $1,050

Hike the Classic Inca Trail from km 82 to Machu Picchu over four days with a guide, porters, camping gear, meals, permits, and return transport. Guide Freddy and cook Armando have earned special praise on past departures, but confirm final-day support and water arrangements before booking.

“Our guide, Freddy, was excellent and had great knowledge of Quechuan history and culture. The cook, Armando, was also excellent and prepared meals, worthy of a fine restaurant using camp cooking equipment. Finally, our porters were extremely capable, helpful, and kind. On the other hand, the company, Quechuas Expeditions, was disorganized and did not seem very interested in our trip. For example, unlike other companies, whose clients were hiking around us, they did not provide a clean portable toilet, but instead left us to use the atrocious bathroom facilities along the Inca Trail. Also, the guide was not scheduled to accompany us all the way from Machu Picchu to our…”
