Unforgettable experience - We had an incredible time doing the Lares Trek with Herbert and his team: Javier, Elario & Ronaldinho.
I was nervous initially - I’d never done a... read more multi-day hike before, but Peru Trek made us feel at home straight away. Herbert was very friendly and knowledgeable, and encouraged us to take it at our own pace. They were very quick and organised, setting up camp before we’d even arrive.
The Lares Trek is fairly off the beaten path, and I recommend it for the incredible sights - it is more lowkey than the Inca trail, and felt like having the whole mountain to ourselves! Being 4,700m in the air, you get a panoramic view of the mountains and glaciers. After the trek, you can go to a hot spring to relax. Along the way, you learn a lot about the local culture and Inca history.
The chef, Javier, made some of the best food I’d eaten in Peru. There was so much variety: soups, meat dishes, pancakes, salads, and he even baked a surprise cake at the end.
If you are worried about altitude sickness, rest assured they are very helpful. The day before our trek started, I was suffering with fever and almost didn’t go on it. But Darwin and Herbert assured me that we can always go back down if I’m feeling too ill, and they also brought someone to assist me in case I needed help. Thankfully my condition got better but it was good for peace of mind.
If we came to Peru again, we would definitely go with Peru Treks and try some of their other trails. I highly recommend going with this group for your travels.

Inca trail trek - Our whole experience was flawless with Peru treks. It was very nice to have them work with us before we went and answer every question we had. Our guide was... read more very knowledgeable and friendly with tons of little details and information. On the trek, the food was amazing. Our chef made fried chicken, soups, rice dishes and plenty of veggies.
For the two of us in our group we where very well taken care of.

Great 5th year anniversary experience - My wife and I booked this trip for our 5th anniversary. We had a fantastic experience with Peru Treks, our porters, and our guide Juan Carlos. The trail had amazing... read more views and Juan Carlos was the best! He was careful to describe what to expect each day and to explain all the Inca sites and culture we experienced along the trail. We were lucky to be the only two in our group, so we had a very personalized experience and we were pleasantly surprised by how comfortable we were and how good the food was at each campsite. And of course, topping it off with Machu Picchu at the end was a wonderful reward for a tough, but immensely enjoyable hike. I would recommend anyone book their experience with Peru Treks!
