Machu Picchu Tours & Treks — Premium Small Groups!

We had a wonderful visit to the Amazon and stay at the Inkaterra ecotourism lodge Inkaterra is in a National Reserve, a 20 minute boat trip from the Peruvian regional capital town of Puerto Maldonado down the wide Madre de Dios river. The lodge is completely in the rainforest, with most accommodation in cabins. It is fully catered with all meals provided. Rooms in the cabins have just basic amenities: water, toilets, shower, overhead fan, but very clean and comfortable. Power is not on at night or mid-afternoon. The highlights of the trip are the guided tours of various locations nearby: Evening and afternoon jungle walks around trails near the lodge; a canoe trip around Lake Sandoval; climbing 40 metre towers and treetop rope and plank bridges high in the forest canopy; and morning canoe trips in a narrow winding lagoon near the lodge. Our local guide, Dagaur was fantastic - born and raised in a native settlement, he knew all the plants, birds, animals and insects: their locations, habits, medicinal uses, etc. On every trip our guide was able to spot local fauna, point them out, help take photographs, etc.. The list of what we saw in the jungles was amazing: a 3-toed sloth high in the trees, many caiman, agoutii, numerous birds and insects, plants such as giant ficus, cacao, and a "walking palm". Our guide was fluent in English and a trained eco-guide. TreXperience recommended the trip and organized all the transportation to/from our starting accommodation in Cusco to arrival after the trip in Lima. The whole trip was far less expensive than expected. TreXperience were great both before the trip (explaining options, making recommendations) online; then during the trip working with Inkaterra. Generally they use WhatsApp, as most folks seem to do in Peru, as it just requires Internet access, not a mobile phone access which can be expensive.

We had a wonderful visit to Machu Picchu. Our guides, Freddy and Sam were great. Provided local knowledge and insights (plants, birds; history) and were with us the whole day. We had two guides as Carolyn my wife went on Route 2 (the "classic" tour of the ruins); whereas I went on the Machu Picchu Mountain route 1a ( a strenuous 3 hr climb) for the views. The guides were fluent in English. TreXperience organized all the transportation, which was a bit complex as we were staying in a rural house near Ollantaytambo, had our luggage with us as we were going to Cusco that evening after Machu Picchu.. TreXperience were great both before the trip (explaining options, making recommendations) online; then during the trip working around transportation changes, etc. Generally they use WhatsApp, as most folks seem to do in Peru, as it just requires Internet access, not a mobile phone access which can be expensive.

I can't tell you how blown away I was with this company and all that they did to make our trip to Machu Picchu so effortless and enjoyable! The communication and customer service was outstanding right from my initial inquiry and they were so helpful with all the questions I had. Our tour guide Samuel provided amazing 2 day circuit tours and gave us so much history and answered all our questions. Highly recommend this company to anyone planning a trip to this absolutely beautiful place!
