Fun, challenging and rewarding trip.
Our visit to Machu Pichu
Kleb was totally incredible. He was always there for us, and went over and above when I got sick. He was patient, knowledgeable, knew the best restaurants and overall, was very, very helpful. His historic knowledge about Machu Picchu was outstanding.
Hiking the Inca Trail was amazing! The walking tour our guide William gave before our hike was incredible! The Porters, cook and line cook were also an amazing team!
Day and evening three were the highlights of my trip. After an incredibly difficult day two, day three was marvelous! The hike on day three was challenging but doable. I loved every step. Then being able to call my family at the top of a mountain to let them know all was well too it off. Another highlight for me was meeting and getting to know my fellow group members. They are all wonderful people.
William was amazing! His knowledge and passsion came through every word he spoke. He checked on us twice a day more than twice a day. He would check with us personally to ensure we were all coping with the altitude and difficulty of the trail. He made us laugh and laughed at our jokes. He fit right in with our group of 5 Brits and one crazy American! He never made any of us feel like we were holding anyone back. He made sure we went at our pace and completed the hikes in our time.
Every detail was delivered as promised. The quality of the food and supplies were great. Healthy and innovative meals. Our guide shared his passion for the beauty and history rich country of Peru.
Our guide, Whilder, shared so much history and information with our group. Also the friends we made within our group were amazing.
Whilder cared that we succeeded on our hike. Safety was important. The amount of knowledge shared with our group was amazing. Our guide was friendly and spent every minute working on the details to make the trip a success. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
I’ve wanted to do this trip for over 20 years and it exceeded all my expectations. I did this trip with my 16 year old son in the long summer break after his GCSEs and it was the most perfect father-son time we’ve ever shared. The views are incredible, the air as clean as it comes and the team were just outstanding. Our guide, Wilmer, led the group expertly despite different walking speeds, and the porters were just humbling. This trip ticked every single one of my boxes and we look back on it with both the sense of achievement and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Day three is the most beautiful - coming over the second high pass (after Dead Woman's Pass), the landscape is just breath-taking. And then of course, laying eyes on Machu Picchu for the first time ever was tear-jerking.
Exceptional
Do it! If you have a reasonable level of fitness, you should be able to complete the trek and it is a truly rewarding end-to-end experience. Expect lots of steps, but this itinerary isn't as rushed as some of the other companies we saw trying to fit the distance into fewer nights, so Exodus's pacing feels spot-on.
Good selection of trips, well organised itineraries, great customer service.
Knowledge of the guides & experience of the trek. Support team of porters & chef was excellent. Scenery was stunning
Edwind was a brilliant guide. His experience & knowledge was faultless throughout the trip. He made sure everyone was happy, healthy & were enjoying themselves. He was sociable & encouraged the group to work as a team. He made us all feel safe & well looked after. His passion for his country & the history of it, showed in everything he did. Edwind made the difference between it being a great experience & an amazing one. A really great guy.
Amazing trip. knowledgeable and helpful tour guide, and very helpful customer services when flights were cancelled
Seeing Machu Picchu from the sun gate (after scrambling up the monkey steps)
Amazing, friendly guy. Font of knowledge and clearly enjoyed showing others his country/culture
Our guide William was helpful and professional in every way. He and the Exodus staff and porters made the trip a joy.
All of the archeological sites were a delight
William was very knowledgeable and very personable. He went out of his way to ensure my daughter was comfortable, safe, and cared for when she became sick on our hike.
I really enjoyed this trip despite suffering from some serious altitude sickness. We had excellent guides and although I’m not known to be the best camper, the team made it as comfortable as it possibly could be and the first views of Machu Picchu from the sun gate made it all worth it!
First stepping foot in Machu Picchu after a grueling trek.
Wilmer was fantastic. He provided excellent information and kept our spirits high when the trekking was difficult, even carrying my pack for a bit when my altitude sickness was at its worst.
At one point this trek was listed as moderately challenging, but I developed severe altitude sickness and this made the hike to Dead Woman's Pass at >14,000 ft highly challenging. If you know you are sensitive to the altitude talk to your medical provider about medications for altitude sickness and adjunctive medications to help with the symptoms or reconsider this trek all together.
Well organized and executed trip. Top notch staff. Very safe. Food exceeded expectations.
Walking thru the Sun Gate and seeing Machu for the first time!
William Mirano was the best Exodus guide I’ve ever traveled with. Assistant guide Ronald’s wealth of knowledge of native birds and fauna added to beauty of trip.
Focus on aerobic conditioning to lessen symptoms of altitude
If you think you’ve only got one big trek in you, this is the one to do!
The satisfaction of completing the ascent of Dead Woman's Pass. The night sky and sunrise at every campsite. The meals provided during the whole trek were incredible. How the team could bake a cake at the top of a mountain I still don't know! Excellent food, hearty portions, and catered to very diverse food preferences and allergies. The porters were really made to feel like part of the family and it was lovely to hear their stories, as well as the stories of our local guides.
William was exceptional. His experience, love of the mountains, professionalism and care for both clients and porters was outstanding. He was mentoring assistant guide Luis, who is well on the way to becoming an excellent lead guide. They both had to deal with two medical events on the trek; this was done efficiently, safely and with no impact on the rest of the group. Their local knowledge was so extensive, ranging from local flora and fauna, to culture and history. In particular, William's recollections about his grandmother being a local healer, the love for his mother, and his beliefs in the traditions of the circle of life was both emotional and thought provoking.
Exodus's itinerary is what sets it apart from the other companies. The choice to leave camp 3 later on day 4 of the trek (rather than around 3am like the other companies) so that you can rest in Machu Picchu town before touring Machu Picchu site is what sets this itinerary apart. We couldn't imagine having to do the trek, tour the site, and travel back to Cusco on the same day. Luggage note - This is not an Exodus issue. We flew with Iberia and were told emphatically at Heathrow by their staff that luggage would go all the way through to Cusco (final destination). However, on arrival at Lima (and after leaving the baggage hall) we found out that this information was incorrect. It was a little stressful to retrieve our luggage before the next flight. Our advice would be to check the carousel before leaving the baggage hall to save the stress.
