“Very good trekking trought beautiful forests and archeological sites. Hard path. Insects in same parts (useful repellent). I think it was better to divide tours by trekking fitness (principiant, medium, pro): we wait more than 30 min sometimes to wait the rest of the group. Very good tented lunch, good hotel in Agua Calientes. Very expensive (+900€/couple), as other tours.”
