Incredible Adventure on the Inca Jungle

10-Sep-2021

Booking a tour from overseas can be a little nerve racking, which is why I was so glad a friend had used Vidal's Tours prior and could give us a good recommendation. We had a great time on the Inca Jungle Trail. It was the perfect combo of adventure, hiking, fun and hard work for our group. The guides were excellent; friendly and aimed to please. Had I been travelling alone, I probably would have chosen to do the traditional Inca Trail for the triumphant feeling we had arrived. However, travelling with all different levels of abilities & comforts, the Inca Jungle Trail was still challenging enough to keep my interest, but laid back enough for everyone to enjoy. Overall, a fantastic experience! I recommend Vidal Expeditions to everybody.

Amazing Jungle trail to Machu Picchu

09-Oct-2021

I just finished the Inca jungle trail with Jose Antonio who was our guide along the adventure of 4 days to Machu Picchu, he was very nice guy and excellent professional, and Vidal Expeditions made very well organising every detail of this trip, from the transportations to the tickets.

Unforgettable experience

Inca Jungle Trail

21-Oct-2021

Had an amazing time during my trip to Machu Picchu, I took the service of Vidal Expeditions for the Inca Jungle trek with our guide Chino, he was very professional tour guide from the beginning to the end, Vidal the owner of the company was a kind person who organised everything for us, they pick up us from the airport without any charge. The Inca jungle trek is one of the most adventure tour i had ever experienced in my life, cycling from the Andes to the jungle it was such amazing experience, the highlight was the white rafting with excellent rapids, following by hiking through the ancient Inca trail full of history and culture. Hot spring and the ziplining also were fun...Machu Picchu en the end of this tour maked an incredible journey in Peru, Chino guided us early morning to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the crowd and had Machu Picchu only for us. The accommodations begin with a basic hostel in Santa Maria, and turned better in Santa Teresa and the hotel in Machu Picchu town was perfect to end this trip. Honestly worth to pay little more than the others companies and have incredible experience... remember if you search for less price you will get basic service, this is a holiday so enjoy as good as possible.
