5 Day Inca Trail To Machu Picchu - Private Service

My recent 12-day tour of Peru was nothing short of spectacular, and that is overwhelmingly thanks to our exceptional guide, Guido Diego, and the team at Valencia Travel. From day one, Guido brought an incredible level of passion, deep knowledge, and energy to every single site we visited. Whether we were exploring ancient history, navigating breathtaking landscapes, or learning about local culture, his storytelling and insights brought Peru to life in a way we will never forget. What truly sets Guido apart is how he constantly went above and beyond. He was always steps ahead, anticipating our needs, ensuring our comfort, and adding special, thoughtful touches to every part of the journey. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made us feel completely safe and looked after throughout the entire 12 days. If you are planning a trip to Peru, I cannot recommend Valencia Travel and Guido Diego highly enough. They turn a great vacation into a truly magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Guido, for the incredible memories!

Valencia went above and beyond in their service on our 4 day Inca trail hike. Lemme start with Aracely who helped me plan the entire itinerary. She gave me all options and was very responsive. Me and my daughter went on this hike alone and our guide Juan Collado was very attentive and took care of us very nicely. He would ensure all our needs were met carefully. He was very patient as I was a bit slow climbing up those steps. He was also very knowledgeable about various Inca sites we saw on the way. Our main chef Felix was so creative. We didn’t feel like we were in wilderness and would look forward to the 4 course meals each time. We took a private luxury tour and have a big group of porters carry our tent, toilet, hot shower, dinner tent along with us. Overall just a wow experience.

Juan Collado was our guide with our hike to Machu Picchu with Valencia travel. He did a great job explaining the trek and kept us well informed of what was ahead of us. He was super knowledgeable of the trail, ruins, plants, animals, etc. He had a great sense of humor and made the hike a lot of fun. The Porters were great and the food was 5 star by our chef

Mijail was simply outstanding. You are not walking with a guide. You are walking with a living embodiment of his people, his culture, and his history. Patient, deeply attentive, and meticulous at every step, it felt less like a tour and more like having a personal concierge, expert guide, and passionate historian all in one. The entire crew was exceptional, and the equipment was truly best in class.

Jen Salazar was an amazing guide! He was perceptive to our levels of energy and skills. He coached just through difficult times and adjusted the pace according to our needs. He was always kind and had great suggestions and an amazing knowledge. We learn so much about the Inca Civilization and about Peruvian life today! Our porters worked so hard and were amazing as well! They were polite and helpful. Our cook was a master, Producing restaurant grade delicious Peruvian meals, and even a delicious and beautifully decorated cake on our last night! This was truly a treasured trip of a lifetime! I do think the tips suggestions from Valencia travel should be increased as all these people work so hard and we’re so professional!

Our small group had an amazing experience! —gorgeous views, education on the history of the Incas, delicious meals (many Peruvian favorites) and lots of great exercise. The entire team including our guide Genrri, talented cook and hard working porters anticipated our needs and were quick to help us at anytime. Genrri was so informative and took great care of us from our hotel pickup on the first day until we were returned to our hotel in the fifth day. The porters hauled so many supplies up and down the mountain trails and the cook produced delicious meals(lots of Peruvian favorites). We did not have to worry about tickets or transfers at anytime. Our lives have certainly been enriched as a result of this trek!

A true wonder of the world! I feel Incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity and privilege to experience this magical experience. We had the most insightful and thought provoking guide- HUGO, who instilled the spiritual importance of this pilgrimage and history of Peru. This was certainly a once in a lifetime experience and I highly recommend having one point of contact for your group to organize administrative details. We had a few bumps in the road but once we arrived during orientation, Valencia made up for it. Our group prepared a checklist for the hike which was very imperative. Our hike was in July so the essentials were packing layers for the cold mornings and nights. Definitely rent poles as they come in handy for the steep climbs and downhill runs . I was especially touched by our group of porters who worked so hard over the 5 days and 4 nights to make sure our breakfast, lunch, dinner and over night accommodations were ready for our long days of hiking. Our Chef Joel blew us away with the healthy and a variety of dishes. The attention to details was amazing in the conditions we have. I am touched thinking about this experience- we met people from all over the world. Soak it all in and thinking about your intentions and disconnecting is the true gift of this experience. Incredibly emotional and a testament of what our bodies can accomplish.

This was a troop of a lifetime for me. Rene and the rest of the amazing Valencia team ensured our trek was safe and fun. The food was amazing and they even catered to my food allergies. I now want to do the Salkatney trek and be assured I will contact Valencia and Rene when the time comes!
