The trek is challenging, but some parts can be made easier with the aid of horses, etc, but this will cost extra. An amazing trip, definitely make time for it!”

“My first visit to Peru and high altitude trekking experience. Sam Travel Peru met all our needs and expectations. Transportation to and from CUZ/local hotels were included and definitely made logistics easier. The hike itself was amazing. Incredible views both day and night. Our guide, Adner, was knowledgeable about Inca history and local cultures. He did a great job managing a group with different hiking abilities and speeds. The food provided was excellent, especially considering it was prepared in a tent. You will not go hungry. Our horseman worked hard as well. Would definitely recommend and use again. Only negative was a local strike that was beyond SAM Travel’s control…”

He was also very personable and went out of his way to make us feel comfortable, safe and accommodating. Day 1: You will be picked up in a very comfortable touring van and be taken through Sacred Valley. Once at the top of the mountain range you will be given all safety equipment and a mountain bike where you will make your way down. From there the van will pick you back up and transport you to…”
