What an unforgettable journey!

Yapa Explorer did an amazing job from beginning to end everything was well organized and stress free. Special thanks to Marcelo, our guide for the 2-day Short Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about what he does. He was also very respectful and patient with our slow walking 😆 always making sure everyone felt comfortable and supported. The experience exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Yapa Explorer to anyone visiting Peru! 🇵🇪⛰️ Big thanks from Dawid & Adrianna
