Inca Trail to Machu Picchu Holiday » Quotes

"We have some amazing memories. Listening to the porters laughing was one of the simpler things we appreciated. Given the hard lives they lead in the mountain villages we appreciated their hard work, the help they gave us and they always had a smile on their faces. Priceless !"

"When we finally reached the Sun Gate we were both nearly in tears. It was a wonderful, emotional moment as you see Machu Pichhu for the first time."

"From the detailed notes we received in advance to the magnificent tour guides through to the supreme way you stagger the trail trek to avoid the crowds (we have the trail to ourselves for a full 3 days seeing no more than 10 other people), we were blown away."

"The Inca Trail was stunning and our guide and porters were excellent – campsites really nice (so glad we didn’t stay at Winaywayna) liked the farm setting of the first campsite. Food very good – no stomach upsets!"

"It was hard but absolutely incredible - the scenery and the history - and when we finally arrived at Macchu Picchu I was quite overwhelmed by the sense of achievement as well as the beauty of the place."

"The Inca trail was awesome and how those porters do it is beyond me."

"The trip was fantastic, we loved it."

"Quite simply, it was the most outstanding experience of our lives. Everything was perfect – and I mean perfect. On the survey form we gave 100% for everything – and we never do that!!!!! I cannot fully express into words just what a jewel of a trip you have."

"The trip was fantastic. It worked out brilliantly especially due to the inspirational guide Pepe. We really had the trail to ourselves and it really was a once in a lifetime experience."

"Everything was awesome, just brilliantly organised."

"We had an absolutely fabulous trip thanks. I have to say, excellent praise must go in particular to Pepe our guide in Cusco and along the trail. He was absolutely superb and paced us all perfectly - enough to challenge us and also sufficient to encourage us. Combined with his geographical, historical and archaelogical knowledge of Peru and the Incas we had a hugely informative and enjoyable trip. If only Pepe could have cleared the rain clouds when we arrived at the Sun Gate on our last day of the trail - I think it would have been a faultless holiday. We had a marvellous time and a lifetime of memories. Our thanks go to all of the Pura team for a really special holiday."

"We'll we're back from the honeymoon, we had a great time on the Inca Trail. I actually think we ate more food there than any other part of the trip - those chef porters are certainly more inventive than I am going round Sainsburys!"

"The Inca Trail timetable is wonderful. Arriving at Machu Picchu in the afternoon to avoid crowds and go back up for dawn next morning is perfect."

"Excellent time had by all. All the staff from the hotels to the guides and porters made it a trip of a lifetime and something to look back on with fond memories."
