What an adventure! The staff ... From the quick responses online (answering all my questions) to the drivers and of course the crew on the trail itself... Great beginning to end. Abelardo (our guide) and Rodrigo (Abelardo's right-hand man) were the best! Abelardo's knowledge of the area, the history of the country, trail, and archeological sites was exceptional. Rodrigo was as attentive and kind as any guide we've ever had. And Santos, our chef, and his staff work magic on a trail where you can't imagine making a simple sandwich let alone the gourmet dishes we received for breakfast lunch and dinner. The entire porter team was kind and welcoming, making sure we were well cared for. Thank you for the best trip to Peru!!
View full reviewThis is a fantastic trekking company. Everything from start to finish was so well organised and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for anyone looking to experience the Salkantay trek. The guides, Alex and Luis-Miguel, are amazing and I can't thank then enough for their help in getting me through when I was unwell during the trip. They really thought of everything in making sure our group had a brilliant experience.
View full reviewReview of the 5-Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu + Vistadome Train The Salkantay Trek was undoubtedly an impressive adventure, but what truly made this tour extraordinary was the wonderful group of participants and the outstanding team of guides, cooks, and porters. First, I’d like to commend all three guides, who did an outstanding job throughout the tour. On the third day, our group was split up, and we were lucky enough to be accompanied by David. David was simply extraordinary and exceeded our expectations in every way. With his warm personality, sense of humor, and infectious enthusiasm, he made every single day special. He was not just a guide, but a companion, motivator, and friend all at once. With his fascinating stories and the passion with which he spoke about Peru, he truly immersed us in the country’s culture and traditions. David didn’t just lead this tour—he turned it into an unforgettable experience that will stay with us forever. An equally big compliment goes to the cooks. What they accomplished day after day under the demanding conditions along the trek was simply incredible. The quality, variety, and presentation of the meals were at a level that many restaurants can barely match. After hours of hiking, we were surprised every time with fantastic food, and we kept wondering how such dishes were even possible in the middle of the mountains. We were also particularly impressed by the many thoughtful details that went far beyond what we expected. Hot water bottles for the cold nights, a cozy campfire under the starry sky, and marshmallows to roast created unforgettable moments and showed just how much dedication the team puts into caring for its guests. I also have the utmost respect for the porters. Their daily efforts are almost impossible to put into words. They perform grueling physical labor under challenging conditions and yet always ensure that everything runs smoothly. Without their dedication, a tour like this would not be possible. Their hard work, professionalism, and endurance deserve the highest praise. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for this unique experience. For me, the Salkantay Trek was not just a hike, but an adventure full of special encounters, impressive experiences, and unforgettable memories. I can wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

View full reviewI had an incredible experience on the 5-Day Cusco, Machu Picchu & Rainbow Mountain tour with TreXperience. Everything was well organized from start to finish, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the trip. A special thank you to our tour guides, Jose and David. They were knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history, culture, and traditions of Peru. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience some of Peru's most iconic destinations in a well-planned itinerary. TreXperience exceeded my expectations, and thanks to Jose and David, this became a trip I'll never forget.
View full reviewWhat an amazing trip and experience...from the time it was organized through TreXperience, pre-trip info and support, pick-up, the tour and drop-off, it was next level. The Tour guide was incredible, very knowledgeable and made you feel part of the whole Inka 'world'. The Driver was exceptional and also made the day fulfilling. Would highly recommend TreXperience.
View full reviewI did the luxury Lares Trek with my husband. We don't really hike or camp, but this experience was once in a lifetime and amazing. Our guide was Frady who was very attentive the whole time. I appreciate so much his patience as we did our trek. Also, he was gracious to help me with some photos and short videos of yoga and meditation. Our cook JC was also wonderful. I can tell every meal he put his heart into it. It was like being at a restaurant. One of the reasons I chose TreXperience is that with so much walking, for two days, we had a massage in a tent. Yulalia was wonderful. Even though it was very cold at camp, she did her best to keep us warm during massage. She was very good. The team also made a salt foot bath for us after the second day, which was 10 mile trek. It was so nice and relaxing. The porters were so helpful. For noncampers like us, it was awesome that we can arrive at camp with our tent, and beds already made. All and all we had a wonderful time. The trek itself and Macchu Picchu visit. I looved it so much! the quiet, serene, and magestic surrounding during the trek, and it felt like it was just the three of us most of the time. Thank you everyone!!
