The chances are if you're in Cuzco and you have the time, and more importantly the energy, you will want to walk the Inca Trail. This is such a fantastic experience that I would recommend it to anyone. One of the reasons that I would this trip so good must be the company we chose to go with. We used SAS Travel, a very popular company and rightly so. The equipment we used was of a good quality, the food was lovely and plentiful and we had two guides. SAS also look after the porters far better than many of their competitors. The porters do a stagering amount of work and deserve to have decent food and shelter on this trip too. With SAS you know that they do. The standard of guiding was excellent, one of our guides had a degree in Archaeology and had so much information for us. They were both friendly characters who kept us laughing, even at Dead Woman's pass!

 

Dear SAS,

 I got back from the Inca trail a couple days ago.  I just wanted to thank you for an amazing Inca Trail experience! I have been traveling for over 3 months now all over South America and this was by far the highlight of my trip. The organization,  staff and food were all incredible! My guide was Javier and he was so passionate about his job and had an immense amount of energy every day.  He was a great guide.  William, the chef, made the best soup I have had in all of Peru! He also made me an incredible birthday cake one night.  Washington, the server, was extremely polite and very prompt.  We never once had to wait for our food.  My whole group kept talking about how impressed we were by the porters.  They were quick, strong and always smiling.  Whenever any of us needed anything, one of the porters was ALWAYS willing to help us with anything.

Thank you for a FANTASTIC experience!!!

Detailed Information 4 day Inca Trail

Detailed Information 2 day Inca Trail

Dear SAS Travel, Jim and I went on the 4-day Inca Trail trip with guides Roberto M. and Froilian departing on 24 August 2005. Both Roberto and Froilian were EXCELLENT and really made our trip.  We wanted to send a note to you complimenting their work as it was truly exceptional. Roberto was extremely knowledgable about the Incas, Andes, etc and his insights really added to our experience.  Froilian was also very knowledgable and pointed out plants, etc that we would have missed along the trail.  Both of them were cheerful, enthusiastic, organized and caring, which made our trip just wonderful. 

Sincerely,
Kiera and Jim Carlisle, CANADA
