lares trek to machu picchu

4days/3nights Classic Inca Trail We enjoyed the Inca trail so much. We are very happy that we booked it through SAM travel. Saul, the owner was very helpful, responded very quickly and organized the 4 day trail for us. We had the best guide ever. Edy motivated us through out the trek, told us a lot about the Inka civilization and Machu Picchu. And above all he was very friendly and kind, he didn’t rush us and he cared about our well being. The service on the trek was very good. We had everything we could wish for, tents, sleeping bags,toilets and the most important was the food. The chef Andres prepared very delicious food and we were always satisfied and didn’t have to care about anything. Big thanks also goes to our porters, who carried not only the food, tents, but also our stuff! We definitely recommend:)

Four Days to Machu Picchu with SAM Travel Peru and Super Guide Jhony My family and I have just returned from one of the most amazing experiences of our lives. We were a party of 7 ranging in age from 14 to 75 who made the difficult but rewarding trip to Machu Picchu over 4 days/3 nights. From the moment I first contacted Saul, the proprietor of SAM Travel Peru, every aspect of the trip was managed incredibly professionally. Saul was on top of every question I had and responded to me at all hours of the day and night. Upon our arrival in Cusco, Saul and our guide Jhony took over. They prepped us the night before our departure on what to expect. I can't emphasize enough how incredible a guide Jhony was. From the very beginning, he became a part of our family. He affectionately referred to my in-laws as grandma and grandpa, he regularly exhorted us, "come on family, we can do this!" He shared about his life, his family, his experiences and provided us with tremendous insight into not only the physical ruins we were seeing, but also the very spiritual beliefs that Peruvians continue to live to this day. We presented certain difficulties for the team given our ranges of age and fitness levels. Jhony was the difference maker. I still hear him telling me to "vamos David!" I would like to give a special shoutout to Santiago, the Chief Porter and his team. They are literally the backbone of the operation. They were up before us, packed everything up as we left, passed us on the trail, set up lunch camp, tore down lunch camp, passed us again on the trail, and had everything set up when we finally rolled into overnight camp in time for dinner. Speaking of dinner, we were afforded some of the most incredible food we have ever eaten. Fortunado, our chef, and his assistant, never ceased to amaze us with Peruvian delicacies daily. Breakfast, lunch and dinner brought us a new culinary (and I am a foodie) experience. The quality and presentation were spectacular, especially when you consider the food was carried in and prepared, literally on the run. If you have bothered to read this far I suspect you might be serious about this trip. I am a 57 year old, overweight man whose wife and children were concerned about making this trip (it was my idea). They also know I am stubborn enough to finish what I started. And I did. It was the hardest physical thing I have done in my life. But to share it with my wife, my 3 sons and my in-laws, is something none of us will ever forget. I was asked today if, knowing what I know now, would I have still gone? Without a doubt, yes! Thank you Saul, Jhony, Santiago, Fortunado and the rest of the SAM Travel Peru team. You helped us make memories that will not soon be forgotten.

Quickly to Machu Pichu. We just made a short Inca trail with Jorge, very professional guide. We enjoyed every minute of our hike. The weather was the best, the trail not too difficult, the Machu Pichu just incredible. Better as on the famous pictures. We will never forget this experience. We felt very safe to travel hier in Covid times- we see, that Peru people are very careful with protecting himself and also the visitors from abroad. Thank you Jorge, you are the best!

Camino inca clasico 4 dias 3 noches Me gusto mucho el recorrido dessde la asistencia del guia hasta la de los porteadores ... todo fue realmente inolvidable ...

Los porteadores siempre amables y eficaces en sus tareas... la cocina estuvo muy apetecible el cocinero si que se espero en darnos una experiencia unica al paladar ... Ampliamente recomendabe

Experience of a lifetime From beginning to end, our 4 day/3 night Inca Trail trek was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide Ray and the porters were a big reason why. Ray was very knowledgeable about Incan history and provided many insightful facts during our journey. The unsung heroes of the trip were the porters who carried all our gear and cooked many amazing meals. I would highly recommend SAM Travel to anyone who is interested in taking on the challenge of the Inca Trail.

Camino inca clasico 4d/3n cumplio con lo acordado El tour que tome esta agencia fue camino inca clasico 4d/3n estando consiente que la actividad fisica es extenuante, ellos como agencia cumplieron con los compromisos de pasar al aeropuerto por nosotros (un poco tarde) , llevarnos al hotel y se encargaron de organizar todo el itinerario incluyendo guias , porteadores personales (maximo 5 kg) , comida , translados ida a regreso a México . Todas las agencias se manejan de manera similar . Doy mi recomendacion

Best Inca Trail Tour I would give SAM Peru 6 stars if I could! We had an amazing 4 day, 3 night hike to Machu Picchu. Ray and the porters were incredible! The scenery was breathtaking and we ended each day of hiking with a beautiful camp and really delicious food. Ray was very knowledgeable about local animals, plant life, and Incan history. I would highly recommend this experience!

Professional and exciting service Amazing experience - very individual approach from the organization perspective. Transparent and reasonable pricing. Jorge was just splendid! Great combo of funny ( but not too much ) and professional. He’s English was super good and he had a great expertise in a local flora and fauna. Really pleasant person to be around. Generally great experience - apart from the Inca trail we added pisco sour tasting and great local delight lunch. Highly advisable!

Incredible Guide, Incredible Company, Incredible Trip I cannot put into words how amazing this trip was! We did the Classic Inca Trail 4 day/3 night hike, and it was breathtaking. SAM Travel was fantastic; from the booking process to their hospitality and preparedness, they are second to none. Additionally, the porters are the most hardworking and friendly people you will every meet. However, the real star of the show was our guide, Johnny. If you have the chance, please request him. His knowledge of the Incan culture is unmatched, and he truly loves his job. Every day he met us with smiles and optimism, helping us through the more difficult parts of the trail. My grandparents (74, 73) went with us, and Johnny’s genuine concern, care, and enthusiasm helped them make the trek of a lifetime. We arrived in Peru as a party of 7, but by the end of our journey, Johnny was the 8th member of our family. Words cannot describe how awesome he was!

Fun time with the family and would recommend to adventurous people who are in shape 5 out of 5. I had a great time here and even though it was very difficult, I had a fun time with my family. We all thought that is was great but it was very tiring.
