From Cusco
"We, aged 70 and 68, completed the 2-day Inca Trail in November, and beforehand, to get in the mood, we did the 1-day Sacred Valley Tour. Communication with Jessie and Jorge was smooth, and all our questions were answered promptly. We appreciated that Jorge had personally guided the Trails himself and could provide knowledgeable, firsthand information about them."
