6 Tierras Vivas trips
Inca Jungle Trek to Machu Picchu
Inca Jungle Trek to Machu PicchuIt was an amazing experience from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Guillermo, was very knowledgeable and fun and made our experience wonderful, especially since we took the adventure tour and are over 50 and not athletes. He was great at sharing his knowledge of the indigenous groups that lived throughout the different locations we visited throughout our travels. My husband and I highly recommend this tour if you are into interacting with nature and want to do more than just trek through the Inca path, We biked through the mountain area and got to see the landscape of lush trees and mountains. We the zip-line, which allowed us to soar through an open valley of trees and open sky. We also tried our hand at rafting, which was fun but required a bit of concentration since the river currents were strong and fast-moving. And, of course, we trekked through the Inca trail, which was magnificent, physically challenging, and a tad scary but worth every step. I do recommend if you are trekking, to look for power drinks like Gatorade, which help replenish the loss of electrolytes. Hydration is essential, especially around mid-day or when you are sweating excessively. In addition to the tour, the places we stayed at were beautiful and perfect for recharging ourselves. In truth, we rested each evening so well that the next day, I barely felt any discomfort or fatique; when I did get tired, it was usually due to dehydration and not from poor rest.

Short Salkantay to Machu Picchu - 4 Days
Short Salkantay to Machu Picchu - 4 DaysAgency - 3 out of 5 Daniel (guide) - 4 out of 5 Pedro + Clemente (Camp chef + assistant) - 5 out of 5 Overall experience - 4 out of 5 To start, our camp chef Pedro and his assistant Clemente were excellent. 5 out of 5 stars. These guys can cook amazing meals in the middle of nowhere so hats off to them. Daniel was overall a good guide. I would ultimately give him a 4 out of 5 stars. He did as much as he could given that we were a slow group. He was very enthusiastic and full of energy. He accommodated us well and helped us combat the brutal altitude sickness using local remedies that worked well. The major downside I would say is the lack of history lessons at each location. He did give us a lot of background of Peruvian cuisine and some botany info but it was disappointing to see other guides provide visuals and history lessons during certain breaks. The agency was probably the worst out of everyone. I would say a 3 out of 5 stars. The guide that came to our hotel to give us the introduction ultimately described the incorrect itinerary for our trip. That leads us to prepare our packs incorrectly. Also, the guide that we would meet the day off was changed last minute without any warning or update. So ultimately the agency seemed like they didn't know what was going on ahead of time and couldn't plan accordingly. Besides that, once we were on the trail, things worked out. By the end of the trip, Daniel felt part of the family which is more than one could ask for when trekking through Andes mountains.
