Wow! We just got back from our four day trek on the Inca trail and I am a 51 year old woman. While I am fairly active, this was tough, but fantastic! I went with my husband and three kids (15,18,22) and it was an amazing family trip. Our guide Aibon was a true blessing, from giving us little tips of when to wear a poncho, amazing education and super knowledgeable, and patient (as I felt I was always the slowest and I was constantly wanting to be sure I was on time - which I was). He really brought the Incan civilization alive. It was an honor to have shared a part of Peru culture with him. Guillermo was our chef and wow- the most amazing food and I am serious- amazing- soup every night which was so soothing and delicious and then an entire delicious meal to follow. That guy did things that will rock your world in the middle of nowhere on propane. Tea times happened right before dinner where you would go over questions, learning, and just conversations. And the popcorn is something that I will remember forever! The level of detail was amazing of the entire staff! Having a company that values it’s porters, pays them, and is key, those guys (and women in the case of evolution) are a work ethic level I have never seen before they need to be treated fairly for what they do- with zero complaint. If you are thinking about this trip you can’t go wrong with evolution- really impressed with the attention to detail, the education, and the value for the entire family- it was my marathon and it was amazing on so many levels. We have done some other group trips- road scholar, tour radar (I think that was it outback australia) and never was it as good as this tour- Aibon was key and Guillermo is definitely some sort of magician. The Inca trail is the family trip of a lifetime Don’t miss out while you can still do it!
