“Thanks for organising a lovely tour for us. We have some fabulous memories. We loved the 5 day Inca trail, it was much more relaxed. Arriving at Machu Picchu after 4 days walking was magical, and with the 5 day trail, you have the time to let everything soak in, and don’t feel like you’re just going through the motions. Personally, for the 4 day trail, the whole idea of arriving at Machu Picchu at the crack of dawn sounds very romantic, but the reality is that you walk much further each day and therefore more rushed, plus you walk in the dark along some of the most beautiful part of the trail on day 4 leading up to Machu Picchu. We also enjoyed having an evening to chill out in Aguas Calientes and go back to Machu Picchu on day 5 for a fresh look at it.”
