Great experience! Kevin is a pleasant and knowledgeable tour guide and I learnt so much about the history of the Incas from him. We did one of the Inca trails and Machu Pichu and he was patient and set a good pace for our hike (really appreciated because some parts were challening). This was truly an amazing experience and Kevin added to that which is what anyone would hope for from a tour guide. Also very big bonus- all of us want to capture these experiences and Kevin is a great photographer! My memories have been captured with some of the best photography tricks I've seen. Thank you so much Kevin.Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Inca trail by Lares¡¡¡¡ Would definitely recommend the Inca trail by Lares, we chose Colibri and we couldn’t be happier with our decision, the entire trip was enjoyable, educational, safe, clean, and absolutely life changing. We had excellent communication with the company in the weeks leading up to the trek and they were more than helpful in answering all of the questions we had. Once we arrived in Cusco, we met with our tour guide Kevin and assistant tour guide. They told us about our plans for the next couple of days and made sure we were comfortable and knew exactly what was going on. From the moment the hike began, both guides provided us with an incredible experience. Kevin has endless knowledge about the trail, Incas, and history that he shared throughout the trek, making it incredibly enjoyable! They made sure to go at our pace and take breaks as we needed them. When I experienced altitude sickness during the hike, both guides made sure I was okay and checked in with me constantly. The food and accommodations throughout the trek were incredible. The horsemen were amazing and led the horses that were carrying all of our supplies ahead of us so that the campsites would be ready by the time we got there. The food was absolutely delicious. Both my friend and I are vegan and the chefs (Juan de Dios and Roberto) prepared the very best food for every meal. We had delicious soups, rice, vegetables, fruits, and an endless amount of coca tea. The hike is a bit difficult, but at the end of the hike you get a wonderful view of Machu Picchu. Definitely worth the price and hike. This tour is a great option for those who want to experience the Inca trail and Lares trek, the company combines the amazing experiences trough the Andes mountains and the short Inca trail. All in all, this was an unforgettable 5 days! Choose Colibri, they are the best¡Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Tour Cusco, un dia de Inca trail, Machu Picchu Contraté un tour con Colibri para visitar Cusco y Machu Picchu desde Lima. A pesar de que tuvo que ser organizado con poco tiempo, el tour se desarrolló a la perfección, me ha impresionado por su complejidad y calidad, y, finalmente, me ha dejado una memoria indeleble y maravillosa. Quisiera destacar especialmente mi agradecimiento a Victor Hugo, el guía que me acompañó todo un día por el camino del inca. Me considero enormemente honrado y afortunado de haber escuchado sus explicaciones y sus respuestas a mis preguntas. La organización de la visita al Machu Picchu al día siguiente fue otra demostración de estrategia e inteligencia que sólo expertos pueden conseguir. Otros guías, empleados de los hoteles, conductores, etc. nos han proporcionado servicios con profesionalidad, amabilidad y eficiencia, de modo que hemos aprovechado el tiempo al máximo, y hemos aprendido y disfrutado. Definitivamente una experiencia recomendable.Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Trek of a Lifetime! What a memorable experience with Colibri Tours! From the initial planning of the trek to the hike itself, Colibri did not miss a beat. They took care of ALL of the logistics — picking us up from the hotel and organizing our transportation back to Cusco from Aguas Calientes (thank you to our wonderful driver, Freddy.) The Inca trail is not for the faint of heart! We completed it in 2 nights and 2 1/2 days. The altitude was certainly a challenge. Lucy, our tour guide, was excellent as well as our 4 porters and chef. Lucy was a wealth of knowledge!! She had an explanation for all of our many questions. She even stopped along the trail to show us different plants and cactus leaves that are used for making the beautiful textiles in Peru. We really enjoyed learning about the traditions of the Andean people. Overall, the trek was an excellent value. They provided everything we needed — nothing more, nothing less. Bravo Colibri.Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Excellent Tour Organizer Colibri organized transportation, guide, porters, equipment and tickets to Machu Pich and back - did a fantastic job, Family of five, with limited hiking experience, and none camping out. really no hitches, everything went smoothly, everyone involved was very helpful. Equipment was in very good condition, guide Lucy was great, porters were very friendly, and the cook was tremendous. Food was surprisingly good and plentiful given everything had to be carried. The hike is a great experience, amazing views and sites, and really good for family with teenagers. Just keep in mind this is not quite as easy as first appears - hike is at altitude, includes a lot of long treks up and then down, and is over a fairly uneven ancient pavement. Tough on knees as much as lungs. Don't need to be in unusual shape, but the less fit you are the tougher the trip is going to be.Publicado en Tripadvisor![]()

Planning a trip to Machu Picchu can bring many questions. Below you'll find answers about Inca Trail permits, trekking in Peru, altitude, packing, safety, and more to help you plan your adventure with confidence.
We recommend booking your Inca Trail to Machu Picchu as early as possible, especially if you plan to travel during the high season. Inca Trail permits are limited and are issued for specific dates, so availability can sell out months in advance.
For the best chance of securing your preferred travel date, we recommend making your reservation several months before your trip.
No. The Inca Trail is a regulated trekking route, and travelers must enter with an authorized tour operator and professional guide. Your guide will accompany you throughout the trek, provide information about the route and its history, and assist you during the journey.
The Classic Inca Trail is considered a challenging trek because of its steep sections, high altitude, stone pathways, and several hours of hiking each day.
Good physical preparation and spending a few days acclimatizing in Cusco before the trek can make the experience more comfortable. The difficulty can vary depending on your fitness level, hiking experience, weather, and altitude.
Inclusions depend on the specific trekking program you choose. Depending on the itinerary, your package may include professional guiding, transportation, entrance fees, camping services, meals, accommodation, and other logistical services.
We recommend checking the Inclusions section of your selected tour for the complete list of services included in your reservation.
Because Cusco is located at high altitude, we recommend spending at least 2 or 3 days acclimatizing before beginning a demanding trek.
Use these days to rest, stay hydrated, explore Cusco at a relaxed pace, and allow your body to adjust naturally to the altitude.
Yes. Our group tours are an excellent option for solo travelers who want to share the experience with other adventurers.
Groups can include people with different ages, hiking experience, and physical conditions, so everyone is encouraged to follow the guide’s recommendations and enjoy the route at a comfortable pace.
Yes. We can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary requirements when requested in advance.
Please inform us of your dietary needs when making your reservation so our team can coordinate the appropriate meals for your trek or tour.
Communication coverage can be limited in remote areas of the Andes. Depending on the trekking route and the services included in your program, communication equipment may vary.
Your guide and operations team will have established procedures for handling emergencies and unexpected situations during the trek. We recommend informing our team before departure if you have any specific communication requirements.
Peru offers several spectacular alternatives to the Classic Inca Trail. Depending on your interests, fitness level, and available time, options include the Short Inca Trail, Salkantay Trek, Lares Trek, Huchuy Qosqo Trek, and Inca Quarry Trail.
Each route offers a different combination of mountain scenery, Andean culture, archaeological sites, and access to Machu Picchu. Our team can help you choose the option that best matches your travel plans.
Pack light and prepare for changing mountain weather. Essential items generally include your original passport, a comfortable daypack, reusable water bottle, hiking shoes, layered clothing, waterproof protection, sunscreen, sunglasses, personal medication, and basic personal hygiene items.
For multi-day treks, we also recommend bringing warm clothing for cold nights and extra socks. Check the packing recommendations for your specific trek before departure.
Mountain weather can change quickly. Our guides monitor conditions throughout the trek and may adjust the pace, schedule, or route when necessary.
Any changes will be made with the safety of our travelers as the highest priority.
