Classic Inca Trail of 4 days t!
May 2022
Wow! The 4-day Classic Inca Trail with Terra Quechua Peru was the adventure of a lifetime. We have a professional team of guides, chefs and porters who took care of everything along the way, but gave us the freedom to explore and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. My guides Donato and Alex were the best of the best. They created a very fun atmosphere, were very knowledgeable and spoke very good English which was very helpful to me. The food was amazing too. I had some of the best food of my life on this trip. And the views!!! The views are stunning and will really take your breath away. This is a bucket list trip that everyone should take at some point in their life. And if you can go with Terra Quechu, do it!

Wow! This trip was unique
May 2022
If you are reading these reviews to help you decide whether to do the Inca Trail or not, stop thinking and book with Terra Quechua Peru right away. It will be one of the best things you've ever done. You will see so much beauty that you never imagined your eyes could behold, you will cross some physical barriers that will teach you about your own incredible strength, and you will bond with all those you are blessed to walk this path with. The weather was fantastic. We ate like kings thanks to our amazing chef and porters who brought the food, tents and supplies... :)
This was the adventure of a lifetime and every time I close my eyes to remember parts of the hike, I smile. I will always remember it, so I will give Terra Quechua my best recommendations.

Inca Trail with Local Trekkers Peru, Trip of a Lifetime!!!
May 2022
My Friends and i did the Inca Trail 4D/3N to MachuPicchu, we were a group of 10 people. As a professional tour leader and amountain guide, I would have to say that we enjoyed very much the hike and the group was practically in love with the two local guides Raul and Daniel, who proved to be very well organised and very knowledgable, with them we learned a lot about Peru, the andean culture and about the Incas.

During the trek we encounteret numerous unexpected situations with other companies (people from their group getting sick, upset with their guides, etc) but that was not our case because we were handled very professionally both by the local guides and the manager of the company Alberto. Alberto also offered great support during our booking process. Also he helped us to arrange our jurney back to our home country.

We are really greatful to have hired the service of with Local Trekkers Peru, as they have proven their reliability and proffessionalism.

inca trail 4D/3N and it was definitely an unforgettable experience
May 2022
My dad and I did the Inca Trail with Bioandean Expeditions and we loved it! The entire team, including the cook, guide, and porters, were super professional, accommodating, extremely helpful, and super friendly. We had never experienced such an extraordinary journey, and the people around us made it complete. So a special thanks to the whole team for making the trek not only possible, but a great memory that we will never forget.
The Inca Trail and Machu Picchu are truly a wonder of the world... I learned a lot about the Inca history and culture as well as the beautiful mountains and forest along the way. The food was exceptional and the porters who carry everything and set up the camps are the hardest working people I have ever met and made us feel comfortable at all times.

Perfect Tour!!!
May 2022
we decided to do the inca trail with Terra Quechua peru. It was an unforgettable experience. Everything was very well organised and Jose, our guide was an exceptional guide, he was extremely interested and very fun to do the trip with.
the chef Oscar did an outstanding job.
The porters!! The porters are some of the hardest working people I've ever seen. If you think you're a resilient hiker, you should meet these porters with Terra Quechua Peru . All in all, this was a once in a lifetime experience and the group loved every minute of it.
I recommend this company!

really impressive
Apr. 2022 • Friends
I have used the services of Bioandean Expeditions several times over the years. They are my choice because they are easy to communicate with (speaks English) and I find them extremely trustworthy, dignified and well organized. This time they helped me plan a 5 day 4 night Inca Trail trip. Everything was carefully scheduled, we were given a great briefing to get us ready, and we felt well looked after.
The Inca Trail Without a doubt, it was the most exciting experience I have ever done. Physically demanding but not impossible. Discovering Inca ruins, incredible landscapes, stories, fauna, flora, meeting people, sharing exciting sensations and, finally, entering Machu Picchu through the Puerta del Sol is something hardly equal.

wonderful trail
Apr. 2022 • Friends
During my stay in Cuzco I have had the opportunity to participate in many of the activities organized by Bioandean Expeditions. From day trips to the mountain of colors or Maras and Moray to multi-day tours to Tambopata and Lake Titicaca through the city tour and the highlight was THE INCA TRAIL. The service has been exceptional, very punctual and well organized, with well-prepared guides who speak English and are always willing to answer our questions.
It was 4 days of arduous walking along the Inca Trail, between the mountains and the jungle, with an indescribable landscape, the road is very hard, there are many hours of walking, with endless climbs and many steps, without a doubt an adventure that puts you to Test.

Mar. 2022 • Friends
This was truly the most incredible trip I have ever been on, and it was all thanks to Terra Quechua Peru.The connection with nature, the Inca’s legacy, the porters, the food, the weather (best season to go, not so crowded and good climate) the team and specially. He was informative, funny, and positive. Always reminding us, "we can do it." He provided interesting information on the sites we passed and a great final tour of Machu Picchu.
Was an absolutely incredible experience! Thanks especially to our expert guide Marco and the unforgettable kindness for our porters as well.

Inca Trail, great experience with Local Trekker Peru
Feb. 2022 • Friends
We had a 12 days trip in Peru visiting the most important áreas such as Lima, Arequipa, Puno and Cusco, and we had a great and incredible trekking trip heading to the MachuPicchu through the Classic Inca Trail. We enjoyed the stunning sunrise view on the mountain, as well as the sunsets. Specially we want to thanks to Alberto the Manager of Local Trekkers Peru, for having been very patient answering all our questions and for organizing an adventure that we will always remember. We had an excellent guide Roberto who together with the porters helped us during the whole trek. With their nice advice and helpful information，we had a safe and enjoyable trek within these 4 days until we reach MachuPicchu. We hope to come Peru again and feel the beautiful nature environment by joining other trekking trip from Local Trekkers Peru. Next time maybe the Ausangate Trek. You already know if you want to do the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, Local Trekkers Peru are the best.

Inca Trail Hike
Mar. 2022
I just finished up a week in Cusco and had the best experiences with Terra Quechua Peru doing both the 4 day Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu
Very beautiful trek . The food provided was fantastic . Our guide was fun, informative, and super accommodating.They truly treat their porters with empathy and respect, providing them with good walking shoes and limiting the amount of weight they can carry. Everything was amazing and recommend this team enough. The hiking was hard but we did it and so glad we did it.
