Juan was very professional and knowledgeable. We were able to communicate on time. He was patient, kind, respectful and was very informative. He was funny too. He picked best spots to show us and tell us all the sprites and history.
Surely the tour of the Inca Bridge Qeswachaca should be better known, what a beautiful place and when culture and history this place has, our guide of the era super well informed and passionate about the history of the place, which made a lot of difference at the time of the explanations. The tour was wonderful, and should be more appreciated.
The service was 5 star all the way totally best Rony and the team went above and behind to make sure we had the best experience ever Really best!!!! Very impressive operation. The guide was very knowledge about the entire Inca history and made sure to mention the highlights along the way. He was very organized!!! Will recommend this trip for sure
I want to say much about Itni Sun Trek but in 1 word if I say it was a great and best experience of my life with delicious food and Soul soothing Atmosphere Thank you so much again.
It’s incredible how bridges are still built the old way. I walked past it feeling like Indiana Jones. hahahahaha
I and my friends did Classic Inca Trail 4 days in May 2023. Guide Auriol posses 12 years of Inca trail guide experience and educations in tourism, history, geography and botany. He is also very considerate, caring and funny!! We did not only complete the 4 day hike safely but also learned Inca cultures, history and plants. The food is DELICIOUS, very well balanced with protein, carbs, veggies and fruits! And always more than what we can eat! We even got a cake on the last day of our hike! Morning call with hot coco tea at tent and warm water to wash face in cold mornings are luxurious. The tent, sleeping bag and pad are very comfortable! All the porters are very friendly and cheerful. They always welcome us with big smiles and clapping when we arrive at campsite. I highly recommend Guide Auriol and Inti Sun Trek!! It’s indeed a life time experience!
The trip was sensational. We love to know the places and take the walks. The agency was very helpful. We had a two-day pause in Cusco and unfortunately we couldn’t walk because the locations were closed, but we were reimbursed for the paid amounts. It was a wonderful experience!
This was well planned, and an awesome day trip. The meals were excellent. The guide was extremely supportive and spoke excellent English. The driver was one of the best we have seen in Peru. I would be happy to book a tour with them again and recommend them. We even got to go to a bonus archeological site! We were running a little early.
We had a great day touring with Inti Sun Trek. Jesus was an excellent guide and went above and beyond to help make sure that we not only got the most out of our day but our entire trip as well. Because of Jesus we were able to to squeeze a whole new adventure into our trip we didn’t even think we had time for. But he made it happen and it made our trip. Willy was our driver and after our experience I can safely say I’d trust him behind the wheel any day. The Bridge was 100% worth the visit! And there are several great places to stop and see along the way. Thank you Jesus, Willy, and Inti Sun Trek for an amazing time!
I had seen photos of the Q’eswachaka bridge while in a museum in Cusco and was fascinated, so when I saw a sign advertising a day trip there with Inti Sun, I immediately went inside to inquire. Turned out there was a tour the very next morning, so I signed up. Jesus and his driver picked me up promptly at 5:00 am the next day. It was a long day, but totally worth it. We stopped for breakfast in Urcos and saw all of the livestock that was there to be sold and walked through the huge market in the town to get a taste of the local culture. We made a few more stops before the rope bridge at some view points and to see some mini volcanoes. Jesus, who is very knowledgeable of the local history and sights shared much of this knowledge with us. Of course the rope bridge was the highlight of the day. What a spectacular place!! Jesus explained everything to us about the history of the bridge and how they rebuild it every June in just 3 days. He also had close up photos of the construction and had the bridge maintenance man give us a demonstration of how the rope is twisted and made. On the return trip we stopped at several lakes and had a lovely picnic lunch next to one. It was a fantastic day and tour! Thanks Jesus!
