Hiking in the Footsteps of the Incas
"I picked Amazonas Explorer because it focuses on private, off-the-beaten-path hikes in the Sacred Valley and was recommended in the book Turn Right at Machu Picchu; though private tours cost more than group trips, I liked going at my own pace and having a dedicated guide, and felt reassured when Paul, the owner, said a few people from the Amazonas office would join so it would feel like hiking with locals rather than a tourist-focused group. They arranged the logistics (including a strict timetable to catch the 6:45am train) and offer both private and some larger-group options, run trips to other ruins in the region, and will take you places most tourists don’t go." - Matthew Kepnes
