The best guides, top class food

17-Oct-2019

Last month I did the 4-Day Classic Inca Trail and it was perfect in every aspect. Our main guide Juan Carlos was very professional and at the same time very funny. When he was explaining things that most people would not find exciting he had a way of making it sound interesting. He and the other guide were also very supportive during the trek and stayed at the back with those of us who had difficulties with keeping up with the rest of the group. They would even take a load off our shoulders and carry our backpacks when we needed it. We were always very well informed about what to expect on every step of our journey, and thanks to that we could always prepare for what was coming. The most surprising part of the trek was the amazing food that the chefs were preparing for us in these camping conditions. We were given a variety of different dishes to try at every meal and each of these plates had a vegan and vegetarian equivalent, because three of us had different diet preferences. I would have never thought that during camping, I would eat better than in a top class restaurant.

Viaje incledible !!!

19-Jan-2021

No hay palabras suficientes para describir nuestro viaje a Salkantay Trek que hicimos con Trexperience. . Primero, el proceso de reserva fue muy rápido, respondieron a todas mis preguntas a tiempo, la sesión informativa también fue muy organizada, la comida es increíble con el chef Juvenal desde el desayuno hasta la cena, teníamos tanta variedad de platos. pero definitivamente la única cosa que hizo nuestro viaje es nuestro guía Carlos, quien fue extremadamente inteligente y divertido. Recomendamos a cualquiera este tour. El personal de Trexperience es increíble

Wunderbare Tour mit Highlight Machu Picchu

19-Jan-2021

Wir haben diesen Monat gemeinsam mit Trexpierence den Lares Trek bestritten. Von Anfang bis Ende, von der Vorbereitung unserer Reise bis zur Besichtigung des Weltwunders, wurden wir zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit von Juan Carlos und seinen Kollegen unterstützt. Sei es mit ausgiebigen Informationen für unsere Perureise, kostenlosem Abholservice vor Ort oder/und sehr sehr gutem Essen während des Treks. Für mich war der Trek eine ganz besondere Erfahrung. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, die Tour bei Trexpierence zu buchen. Das ganze Team war jederzeit für uns da und man konnte aufgrund ihrer herzlichen Hilfsbereitschaft und Engagement die Wanderung und Aussichten in vollen Zügen genießen. Vamonos Tortugas!

Inca jungle trail

We had an amazing time! Our guide Elroy knew so much about the biodiversity and Peru’s history. He’s a great guy that really guided us through this. We loved the fact that this trail was so diverse, we aren’t big hikers but the combination: rafting, biking, zip lining and partially the Inca trail was perfect. Thank you for this unforgettable experience. Lenny and Jasmine
