Great guide as guide Silvana.
I recommend Inti Sun Trek to anyone that wants an outstanding experience. Our tour guides Mike and Peter were the best. I give them a 10 out of 10 for their best Services.
Thanks to all but it was an absolutely incredible Trip once in a lifetime experience with the most sustainable, supportive and fun guides with cooperation- all of them From the briefing, pick up and starting the trek it was faultlessly organised and made you feel very looked after and absolutely no need to worry about anything. We managed to go at our own pace up the trickier sections with regular checkpoints and lots of information along the way. All abilities are supported by the fantastic guides of this Tour company.
I can't even describe the way we had the tour It was a lot Happy And with History to all other things and The best was the polite guide and amazing Trip had got love and enjoyment.
