“Jainor was a gem of a tour guide. He is clearly passionate about Incan history and culture, and he conveys this well to the group. He also transitioned extremely smoothly between Spanish and English when explaining things in amazing detail and depth. He was never rushed, always taking the time to answer everyone’s questions. Lastly, he dealt well with the varying physical conditions of the group, with age ranges from 21 to 67.”

My guides were absolutely incredible. Eddie was very knowledgeable and put together and made sure everything went smoothly. Elias was just the kindest and most fun person to be around, and truly cared about all of the people. Very amazing environment and the food was just phenomenal. Seriously cannot recommend this company more, and it is also 100% local!!!”

Walk the quieter Lares route from Cusco to Machu Picchu, with medicinal hot springs, high passes, great food, and easy transport.

“My sister and I had the most wonderful time with TreXperience. Our experience was top notch all around. We first did the Lares trek with our guide Elias, chef Tiburcio, and horseman Toribio. It was my sisters birthday on the second day and the chef made her a full-on cake despite being camping in the woods without an oven. The food was delicious for every meal (we were stuffed) and the crew made us feel very welcome. It was a super authentic experience. Im glad I stuck to my gut going with this company instead of a more commercial company like alpaca exp.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 46 reviews · 5 days (approx.) · from $610

A well-run 5-day Cusco trip with Sacred Valley, a guided Machu Picchu day, and the Vinicunca mountain colors hike.

“I bought a 5 day package in Cuzco and the truth the Montecristo hotel was disappointing with a horrible buffet. As for the tours when not knowing Peru the first was Valle Sagrado, in my opinion it is not worth much, they did not offer me the mountain of colors, honestly I did not know that it was close but they should include it. Machu Pichu amazing. And in terms of value for money I found it expensive for everything offered.Auto-translated”
