Unforgettable 4D 3N Inca Trail
D2075IHangelicad, October 2026
Wow! The 4d day 3 night Inca trail was one of the hardest things I’ve done but I wouldn’t trade it for anything❤️ my group consisted of 8 total (including my guide) Everyday I just felt so blessed to be able to even be at a place where there’s so much history, and beauty and mystery. I get why it’s called one of the 7th wanders of the world. The whole trail was probably my favorite part. A BIG shout out to the all the porters. They are the real hero’s and without them the trip would be impossible. I’m so grateful for them. The porters, the chef (Alandro) and my guide (Yovanni) were some of the hardest working men I’ve ever met. I feel very blessed to have been a part of their group. Everyone was amazing and I admire their hard work and dedication to making this experience unforgettable. The admission fee was priced very reasonable considered everything that was included (meals, tents, sleeping bags, portable toilet, snacks, etc)

Humbling and rewarding
Theresa_S, October 2026
Awesome doesn’t even describe it. Modern life has made so many of us engrossed and trapped in a very sedentary lifestyle and detached from nature. This tour offers a great opportunity to reconnect with nature and be amazed and humbled. Our guides Abelardo and Raúl, chef Zenobia as well as the rest of the staff at TreXperience took very care of us. They certainly are a special part of the trek.
