Hiking to Machu Picchu has been a life long bucket list trip for me. I came as prepared as I could be, and it was definitely nothing I could have ever anticipated in the best way ( apart from hiking miles and miles of stairs each day)! One of the main reasons this hike was as successful and enjoyable as it was, is due to Abelardo, Sebastian, our particular cooks, and porters that we hired to be our guides through TreXperience. TreXperience is one of the few LOCAL Peruvian Inka Trail guide companies ( not based out of the US or Canada). It’s hard to put into words the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience hiking the Inca Trail is, and I know my experience was enhanced because of our particular guides. Abelardo was full of knowledge, history, and passion for his heritage as well as being in nature. His insights and soul made our trip deeper and more meaningful. He gave us opportunities to feel into our experiences, the Inca people, Cusco, and Peruvian history. This isn’t his just his job, this is his way of life. He invited us to truly lean in to our experience and take the time to be on the mountain.
Our assistant guide, Sebastian was knowledgeable, well spoken, kind, personable, genuine, fun and deeply available to our group. He even raced me down the stairs after Dead Woman Pass. A freedom that I won’t forget. This experience that has changed me and the way I see the world.
Our driver, Giovanni was safe, careful, kind, and courteous on the road.
Amilcar, our chef, made food each day an experience! As someone who backpacks, never would I have anticipated the amazing meals we were provided. It was healthy, filling, and absolutely delicious.
I had such an authentic and deeply moving experience along the trail. We were able to meet our porters and cooks, connect and share with them as they shared with us. These people made it possible for me to live out a life long dream.
Do you research- and ask for THIS group of men who made this possible. I don’t write reviews- but it was such a standout group that I absolutely want everyone who ever hikes this trail to do it with these men. You will not regret it. This was not just a hike, it was a portal to parts of myself I needed to meet, as well as to a place in history that I will ever be connected to.
If hiking to Machu Picchu is on your bucket list, don’t do it without Abé, Sebastian, Giovanni, Amilcar, and the group of porters associated with our hike through TreXperience.

Great service! Abelardo and Sebastian were great. These guys really know their stuff! Ask for them and you won’t regret. We had a wonderful trip, thx to the porters, chef, and staff. The food was top notch, the hike was challenging, but the history and views were incredible! This company is top notch and easy to help accommodate our needs. We also did a tour of Cusco, sacred valley, hiked Huayna mountain, and finished our trip with Rainbow mountain/red valley. We had a blast.

Overall, it was a great hike, fantastic views, tough but not that bad.
Our guides (Torro and Puma) were very good. They had a lot of patience and time to help everyone and really pushed to keep the energy levels up when everyone was tired.
The real heroes were the porters who not only completed the same route as us but did it faster and with bigger and heavier bags. I can only hope they are being well paid because they really deserve it. As someone who has been on other multi day hikes, it felt weird watching someone else carry your clothes while you just carry a day bag.
That being said, the one thing I would consider a problem is how infrequent the water refills were possible, in some areas more than others, it was needed more and more.
Also tipping was a point of contention. Naturally we wanted to be fair with our tips but since we were limited to what we had brought on day 1 and not spent on drinks or snacks, it would be nice to have a clear understanding of the tips ahead of time.

This was one in a lifetime experience!
The landscapes, to be challenged to complete every stage by the hand of our tour guides Jose & Isa and of course with the incredible work of our porters crew makes this Inka trail amazing!

I went on the 4 day hike with Eddy Puma the travel guide, Oscar the chef and Felix the head Porter. Eddy and the team elevated the experience from a hike to an experience I will not forget. I would define Eddy and the teams approach as passion, positivity and fun. All the porters were positive and passionate about the experience we were undergoing. Eddys knowledge and passion on the Inca history made the hike. He invited us to partake in Inca tradition. He was always smiling, always positive and always patient with the group.
I will not forget this trip. Thankyou boys!

Had an incredible trip with amazing people! We were very unlucky because there was a fire on the Inca trail but our tour guide, Wilian, found us an awesome alternate route to do. He is an amazing tour guide! The food was incredible and the porters were incredible. Oscar, the chef, was making incredible meals at every meal. An amazing service all round!
The admin from the company could have been better, but I think they could easily improve on that front.

Great hike with excellent crew. The porters were amazing im their strength and dedication. The all came out to rescue us one night when we were caught out in the dark and rain. The food was excellent. Great Chef and assistant, Our guide Sara was great - very knowledgeable, helpful, and diligent. She did a great job of getting a group of 70 year olds up and over the Inca trail from km 82 to Machu Picchu. We highly recommend TreXperience.

The trip was magical and unbelievably amazing. I am a 70 year old female in fairly good shape athletically. The 4 day trek was probably the most challenging physical feat I have ever accomplished. I was part of a private group with my boyfriend and another couple, ages 74 to 75. We were definitely the oldest people on the trail. Sara, our tour guide, was patient and accommodated all our special elderly needs. She adjusted the pace and motivated us with every grueling Inca stone step. The chef and assistant chef prepared mass quantities of delicious and incredible meals. The presentation was high end restaurant quality. I can’t say enough about the porters. They greeted us at every meal with applause and a high five, and waited on our every need. I highly recommend TreXperience. You will not be disappointed. Kudos to Sara and the whole team!

This was truly the experience of a lifetime, and something i would highly recommend.
Our guide Sara was knowledgeable and gave us a great education in Inca history and traditions. She could not have been more friendly and fun - people from other tour groups were a little jealous I think.
Just to be clear from the outset - my husband and I hate camping and tents but in order to the Inca Trail, tents are a necessity. That being said, the amazing porters (Soldado, Puma, Barnaby and the rest) as well as chef Senobio and his assistant Xavier very much softened the blow. The food was delicious, the service impecable. We felt welcome at all times.
The hikes themselves were absolutely breathtaking, the Andes are spectacular, the Inca archeological sites are a wonder. Having Sara there to explain their function and features was ideal.
I will say that the physical challenge of the Inca trail should not be taken lightly. I recommend at least 2 days in Cusco before undertaking it - bring proper broken in hiking boots, and get some good cardio training for a few months beforehand - you'll see the benefit on day 2 for sure!
Some handy tips
- Bring earplugs - campsites are noisy places, and the wake ups are early
- Wet wipes are essential
- Be open minded, be in the moment, and let the Inca history culture into your heart

I recently completed the 4 day inca trail in a group of four with trexperience we had 11 porters and one chef to carry everything needed for four days of camping and meals every day. These porters are superhuman hiking up granite inca trails with 20kg of supplies tents and cooking equipment.
Our guide was Pepe who was the best guide you could wish for.
At breakfast he would outline our day and give us lots of information so we knew what to expect on the trails he would give us information on the history of the inca people and the ruins we came across. Pepe is a very knowledgeable guide and he is a credit to Trexperience he is super wow wow..
