My Wife and I had an incredible time walking the Inca trail with our incredible guide Carlos, Chef Carmello and porters.
Gave guidance on prepping for the trip. Let us rent sleeping bags and hiking poles so we didn't have to bring them across the world and overall just made it a fantastic experience in all.
Food was a superb display of peruvian cuisine and very accommodating with dietary needs.
Carlos was an excellent guide, funny, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe then the entire way.

Outstanding experience
The experience as a whole was stunning. Phenomenal service from guides with well organized logistics and a lot of interesting knowledge about Inca sites. The chef was outstanding. Each meal was different and there wasn’t one thing that I didn’t like. Overall I would highly recommend the experience.

The Lares Trek was one of the best trekking experiences ever!
My friend and I did the 4 day Lares trek with Kenko and we absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone we know. Every detail was perfect and there were many cultural experiences that made the trip feel even richer. The routes were beautiful, hardly any other trekkers on them so it felt incredibly peaceful and authentic. Our chef, Carmelo, made the most delicious meals. Cesar worked so hard to set up all of our equipment and ensure our gear made it to the next campsite safely. And Elvis was phenomenal—a wealth of knowledge, so attentive to our needs and safety. He made this experience incredible. Definitely do the Lares trek with Kenko tours!

4 -day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
We went as a group of five girls and as beginners, we couldn't have had a better team, the guide Elvis was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout the whole four days. I personally, wouldn't have done it without him. Also, the porters, waiter (Elias) and chef (Carmelo) were absolutely amazing. If you are interested in doing the four-day inca trail, look no further. SPECIAL THANKS TO ELVIS THE BEST GUIDE!!!

4 day Inca Trail - Kenko Adventures the best
We went on the Inca trail and our guide was Elvis - he was the best. Along with Carmelo the Chef, Elias,Pablo and all the other porters they made our experience an unforgettable journey. Elvis is very knowledgeable and was super attentive to our needs during the hike, considering that we are amateurs - he was very patient. The food was amazing and we had vegetarian individuals as part of the group (thanks Carmelo!). The vibe along the 4 days was very positive. Definitely recommend Kenko Adventures 🙂🙂

Super Inca trail
Going into this trip I was unsure if I will be able to complete the whole trail. However, with the attentive care of our super tour guide Elvis I managed to complete the trail. Elvis was super attentive and helpful when I was struggling. Thank you also to our chef Carmelo who prepared best meals I tasted in Peru. Moreover, I would like to thank Elias for always attending us and to remaining porters who made our experience possible

Inca Trail 4 day trip
We had the best experience with Kanko adventures! They were super professional, friendly, and helpful in every way. We ate the best food during this experience thanks to Carmelo the chef. It was the best Peruvian food we ate during our trip in Peru. Finally I would like to thank Elvis for his patience, and dedication to his job. He is very professional and knows what he is doing! He helped us in every problem and all we needed during our 4 days camping trip. We really recommend this team!

Inca trail with children!
With our three children (age 10, 10 and 7) we booked the classic Inca Trail with Kenko. Everything was very well organized and we were so well taken care off. The food (lunch and dinner) was a three course gourmet. I still have no idea how our cook Pedro managed this everyday. I am sure the super strong porters helped him. We rented sleep bags which were very clean and warm and comfortable. Our guide Grover was really knowledgeable, sharing his knowledge about Inca culture, Peru and nature. Next time we’ll come to Peru we will book with Kenko again.

Amazing 3 day Lares trek!
Couldn’t recommend enough! My best friend and I did the three-day Lares Trek with Kenko, and it was a truly unforgettable experience, thanks to our guide Elvis. He made it his priority to keep us safe, motivated, and informed every step of the way. The trek exceeded our expectations because of his compassion, leadership, and deep knowledge of the land and its culture.
Also, the 2 other guides that accompanied us were nothing but friendly and attentive. The chef that accompanied us on the journey made us amazing food that we did not expect to be eating in a tent in the middle of the andes! The other guide, who helped with the cargo, welcomed us into his home at the end of the trek for our last lunch together.
When one of us wasn’t feeling well, whether from stomach issues or altitude headaches, Elvis knew exactly how to care for us while still keeping the pace manageable. He’s clearly a well-respected figure in the small Incan communities we passed through. Everywhere we went, locals greeted him warmly, and he always prioritized offering food or coca leaves to them, which allowed us to connect with the community in a genuine and respectful way, something we couldn’t have done on our own.
He speaks Quechua and helped us show appreciation in ways that felt meaningful. Elvis has over 20 years of experience, and it really shows. Even though it was just the two of us (both women) on this trek, we always felt completely safe and at ease with him. This was more than just a hike, it was a spiritual and cultural journey. Elvis embedded the history and sacred traditions of Incan culture into every part of the experience, helping us truly honor the land we walked on. He also made sure to take many great photos of us which we will be able to cherish forever! I can’t recommend this trek enough, especially with Elvis as your guide.
