Most Inspirational Moment
Undoubtedly, reaching the Sun Gate, and looking down on Machu Picchu for the first time. One of the truly great moments of a lifetime
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our leader, Raul, did a superb job. He made sure everything was easy for us, and that everything ran exactly on time. He was always prepared to go above and beyond to make sure it all ran smoothly. His knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, the Andean culture added greatly to our enjoyment of the trip.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This trip offers the absolute essentials of Cusco and Machu Picchu in way that is very achievable if you feel that the full Inca Trail is beyond your capacity. Going a day early to help with the altitude acclimatisation was a big help. Whilst the flights are long and tedious, they are a small price to pay for the rich rewards of Peru, which is a magical country. I loved every moment of my time in Peru, and cannot recommend it highly enough. Go!
