Our group of 5 friends embarked on a 4 day Inca Trail adventure to Machu Picchu in November of 2018. Our experience on the Inca Trail was really enhanced by having our fantastic, experienced guide.
Elvis started building trust with our group from the initial briefing the night before our departure where he patiently… ...
Elvis is an amazing guide. We hiked the Incan Trail to Machu Pichu. I workout, I think of myself as pretty fit, but I definitely should have trained more. However, Elvis was with me every step of the way. He was more coach than guide. He taught me how to breathe in altitude, how to use my poles, the most efficient path, etc.… ...
100% worth it and so glad we chose Kenko! Best part about this tour was being able to see Machu Picchu twice, as you get a view when you finish the Day 1 trek, and then you’re there all morning Day 2!
We shopped around for loads of Inca Trail tours, and found Kenko recommended on a blog, and I haven’t got a bad word to say about this trip! Elvis was a fantastic guide, answered every question we had, knew all the best spots for photos… ...
