We did the Sacred Valley VIP Tour with Maras & Moray on Oct 12 with TreXperience and had a fantastic day. Our guide Juan was very knowledgeable and supportive throughout — he explained the history at Pisac, Maras salt mines, Moray terraces, and Ollantaytambo so well, and made sure everyone was comfortable. The itinerary was well-paced, lunch in Urubamba was great, and the views were incredible. Highly recommend Juan and TreXperience for anyone visiting Cusco!
View full reviewI went on the sacred valley day tour with 5 of my friends and our experience was amazing. The stops we made were all fun ,interesting, beautiful, or all three. Juan Miranda was our tour guide and I don’t think we could have had a better option. Not only was he personable & knowledgeable about all of the stops, but deeply passionate about the sites we visited and culture we experienced.

View full reviewIt has been a wonderful experience—both from a sporting perspective, due to the physical challenge of the trek, and on a personal level, because of what we experienced and shared. Special mention goes to the team of porters and cooks for their tremendous effort and for making our stay so comfortable, as well as to the lead guide, José Abad, and the assistant guides, Alejandro and Lourdes, who led the group splendidly and helped us with every detail we needed. A 10 out of 10.
View full reviewThe trek is challenging, especially because of the elevation you have to climb to reach Salkantay. That said, it's well worth the effort. The scenery and the route are beautiful. I definitely recommend doing it.
View full reviewAbsolutely fantastic — one of the best tours I've done, and thoroughly professional from start to finish. Right from the start, Cesar was great with the booking details and was present on WhatsApp throughout the tour. Our tour guide, Wilian Elvis, was brilliant, knowledgeable and amenable. I'd give Trexperience 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend booking with them.

View full reviewCompletamos la caminata de Salkantay de 5 días y 4 noches. ¡Fue una experiencia maravillosa que recomiendo ampliamente! TreXperience organizó todo el tour de manera excepcional. Nuestros guías, Abelardo y Wilbert, fueron maravillosos y merecen un enorme agradecimiento. Durante la caminata, Abelardo compartió información fascinante sobre la formación de los Andes y su entorno natural. Habla con gran entusiasmo sobre la cultura e historia de los incas y Perú. ¡Escucharlo es un verdadero placer! Abelardo logra convertir a un grupo de viajeros desconocidos en un equipo cuyos miembros se apoyan mutuamente, se muestran considerados entre sí y comparten momentos divertidos y risas. Abelardo es un guía maravilloso al que le tomamos mucho cariño en muy poco tiempo. Cuida mucho de todo el grupo. Siempre está alegre, tiene un gran sentido del humor y constantemente les da a todos energía y fuerza renovadas para la exigente caminata a gran altitud. Durante el recorrido, el guía nos transporta al mundo incaico a través de pequeñas ceremonias, ayudándonos a apreciar la singularidad de estos momentos. A más de 4600 metros de altitud, ¡uno se siente profundamente agradecido por la oportunidad de vivir esta experiencia! Pero el grupo cuenta con más que dos guías. Dos jinetes y sus caballos transportan el equipaje a través de los pasos andinos. Un equipo de tres cocineros traslada el equipo de cocina y la comida por las montañas, deleitándonos con deliciosas comidas durante toda la caminata. Por ello, los cocineros merecen un reconocimiento especial. Mientras todos duermen en sus alojamientos, el equipo prepara un desayuno fantástico y nos despierta con té de coca caliente. Cada mañana y cada noche, se proporciona un recipiente con agua tibia para que cada participante se lave. Antes de partir, todos reciben un refrigerio para el día. Al llegar a los 4600 metros como el primer grupo, el equipo ya nos espera con té caliente y un panecillo. Un poco más tarde, almorzamos, seguido de una abundante cena por la noche. En cada comida, uno se pregunta cómo lograron preparar tantos platillos deliciosos tan rápido. Realmente aprecias lo buena que es su cocina cuando visitas un restaurante en la ciudad. ¡Para entonces, ya deseas volver a probar la comida de Barbin! En una ocasión, el equipo cocinó para nosotros al estilo tradicional peruano. Calentaron grandes piedras al fuego y luego las colocaron en un hoyo profundo. Diferentes variedades de papas, verduras, carne y fruta se envolvieron cuidadosamente y se colocaron sobre las piedras, se cubrieron con sacos de arpillera y hojas de palma, y luego se enterraron. Mientras se cocinaba nuestro almuerzo, tostamos granos de café y preparamos nuestro propio café. Otro momento memorable fue pasar la noche con vista a Machu Picchu. Disfrutamos del atardecer desde fuera de nuestras tiendas de campaña y vimos el amanecer a la mañana siguiente. En el desayuno, el equipo de cocina incluso nos sorprendió con un pastel de chocolate recién horneado. ¡Yo no podría hornear un pastel así ni en mi propia cocina a nivel del mar! Luego llegó la caminata final a Aguas Calientes. En el camino, nadamos en un río: un chapuzón maravillosamente refrescante en un entorno precioso. Al día siguiente, visitamos Machu Picchu juntos. Todo estuvo perfectamente organizado durante el viaje. ¡Lo repetiríamos sin dudarlo y recomendamos encarecidamente esta caminata con Abelardo y su equipo! Las noches en los Andes fueron maravillosas. Después, acostados en la cama del hotel, ¡enseguida deseamos estar de vuelta en los colchones duros de las sencillas cabañas y tiendas de campaña en las montañas! ¡Muchísimas gracias a Abelardo, Wilbert, Balbino, Eziquiel y a todo el equipo por esta increíble caminata! ¡Tupanantiskama!

View full reviewLa excursión de 4 días al Salkantay fue todo un éxito. Felicitaciones a nuestro guía, Royer. Es un guía entusiasta, muy atento y que lo organiza todo a la perfección. La comida durante la caminata estuvo deliciosa y siempre fresca, gracias a Jheymi y Jamie. ¡Muy recomendable!

Exceptional Andean hospitality, shaped by people who know the trail from every side.
TreXperience is a 100% Peruvian, Cusco-based tour operator built from firsthand experience in the Andes. Our co-founder, Juan Coronel, started his journey on the Inca Trail as a porter before becoming a trekking chef and professional guide. This experience taught us a simple truth: a great adventure is not defined by just one element; it’s defined by how well every aspect of the experience is cared for.
From personal preparation and expert local guidance to fresh Peruvian food, thoughtful comfort, reliable safety, and respect for our team and the Andes, every journey is designed to make you feel supported from the first conversation to the journey home.
The Andes provide the adventure. The TreXperience Way takes care of everything around it.
