Best adventure ever!!

Altitude Peru provided the best journey and experience for us at Machu Picchu!! The 2-day trek was perfect for those that want to get some hiking in before the reward of seeing Machu Picchu while also getting to see other Inca sites and flora and fauna along the Inca trail. The trip was organized perfectly and we always had everything we needed with clear instructions. Robinzon was the best tour guide and made the trip unforgettable and so much fun. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and funny. Highly recommend Altitude Peru if you are planning your trip to Machu Picchu!!!

We really enjoyed the views of the Inca trail. Spectacular and breath taking. Also walking into Machu Picchu from the sun gate was a fantastic experience. Our guide Robinson was great. He explained about the fauna and flora as we walked along and made it more interesting. He also took lots of photos of us! Highly recommend the trail and also our guide Robinson.

Highly recommend Altitude Peru!

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Altitude Peru! From start to finish communication was outstanding - quick, clear and always helpful. They went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and helped us design a custom tour package that fit perfectly with our interests and schedule. Prices were very reasonable considering the level of service we received. One of the highlights was having the same tour guide and driver throughout the trip. Rob our tour guide, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Each day he gave us clear instructions about pickup times, what to bring and what to expect, which made everything run smoothly. Rodney our main driver, was equally fantastic - skilled, courteous and made us feel safe and comfortable on the road. Highly recommend Altitude Peru!

TOP! 🤎💚 IncaTrail experience

Thank you Adrian and your wonderful team from my heart for this gorgeous experience. Everything was so well organised and the 2D-Inca Trail with Robinson was such a special day and moment for me. Robinson took great care for me during the Trail. He also managed my fear of heights in a professional way and gave me the safety when needed. Ronald made sure to arrive everywhere well and safe. I am so happy I found Altitude Peru and can recommend it highly. I felt in every second in good and safe hands and everybody is soo nice and helpful. It feels like family. Thank you for making my first Peru visit such special . Very grateful.
