The Inca Quarry trail is a beautiful trek. I had an amazing experience. Bernabe is a very fun, helpful, and knowledgeable guide. Porfilio kept us well fed and prepared delicious meals

¡Una experiencia increíble! The hiking is beautiful and not too demanding and our guide, Bernabe, was fantastic. We learned about the history of the Incan people as well as the flora and fauna we were surrounded by. We had lots of great food cooked by the chef, Porfilio. We got to see a condor at the sun gate, and passing by the quarry was very interesting. I highly recommend this trek with Bernabe and Porfilio!

My boyfriend and I decided to work and travel while in Peru and of course we wanted to see Machu Picchu. There are so many ways to go to the Lost Incan City. We are in moderate shape and we wanted to see some amazing sites, learn about the culture and history, and have some downtime as well. This tour exceeded our expectations in all of these areas. Our guide Bernabe was experienced, knowledgeable, funny, prompt, and kind. He stuck to our schedule and made everything as seemless as possible. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He gave us so much insight as to how the Incans lived, the geography of the Andes, and history of Machu Picchu. On our 2 and a half day hike, we saw waterfalls, ancient temples, local Quechua people and their farm land. We started around 3500m and climbed up to 4500m, going over two mountain passes. We visited the Sun Gate, Inca Quarry, and various ruin sites. Our chef was amazing!! We ate so well and it was always delicious. We had a local horseman and 3 horses carry all the camping equipment and bags. We only carried our day pack and water. All camping equipment, first aid, food, and water was provided for us. The best part was that this trail is not crowded at all. We saw maybe 6 other hikers the whole time. You will have the best photos and time to enjoy the quiet views. On the 3rd day, you catch a train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes and we had the rest of the day to explore and rest on our own. The hotel was very nice and it felt so good to relax in a proper bed before going to Machu Picchu the next day. The last day, we decided to take the bus up to Machu Picchu because we were pretty sore from the hike and wanted to save our energy for Machu Picchu Mountain hike. The bus down is included and we only paid $12 for the ride up. After Machu Picchu, we returned to Aguas Calientes, had lunch and took the train back to Ollantaytambo. A driver picked us up at the station and drove us back to our Airbnb in Cusco. We had such an amazing time!! If you can’t get permits for Inca Trail or you want a hiking experience with 5-star service and accommodations THIS IS THE TOUR FOR YOU. It was an unbelievable deal and I would recommend to anybody seeking an adventure.

It is hard to know where to begin, the adventure with this tierras vivas truly suprassed all expectations. We went with Tierras Vivas on a recommendation from our friends and are so grateful for it! From start to finish our tour guide Efrain made our adventure magical. Efrain spent time sharing his in-depth knowledge of the inca trail, which allowed us to truly appreciate the spectacle of Machupicchu once we got there. Efrain was part of a team (who also became our "family") for the 4 days who all worked so hard to make the adventure so fun, safe, and comfortable. Special mention to the chef and sous-chef who provided delicious food every day on camp! We are so truly grateful to Efrain, the family and to Tierras Vivas

It was amazing experience. We were the only family of 4 in the group. Tour Guide Efrain & entire team were very friendly and kind including porters. Being vegetarian, they served excellent food.. Efrain is very knowledgeable - we got to know amazing Inca civilization & history.. I would recommend highly. They far exceeded than what we were expecting.

Adner and efrain were amazing guides. Efrain really helped me when I was struggling. He went above and beyond what I could ask for. Adner is very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about the inka people. I would highly recommend this company. The porters they used were top notch. The food they cooked us out in the middle of know where was better than food I got in Lima and Cusco.

Had a fantastic trip with Tierras Vivas, following a friend’s recommendation which very much delivered. Tierras Vivas were extremely accommodating and tailored the hike to suit us (we had 3 days and they helped us fit in the full 4 day trail). The views, varied terrain, and Inca sights were spectacular and well worth the effort, with so much to see that’s only accessible on foot, and even better away from the crowds. Thank you to Efra our guide who was attentive, knowledgeable and positive, and to Andrés our chef who kept us well fuelled (including impressively whipping up a birthday cake on a stove in a tent!) and to the porters who made it happen! Would highly recommend.

Just finished an amazing 3 day trek from km 82 to Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu with our awesome guide Efrain and his amazing team of cooks and porters. Hard work with the altitude but saw some incredible Quechuan sites and fascinating scenery along the way! Would highly recommend.

It was an amazing experience. The track itself it was probably my favorite ! From the porters to the food to the guide everything was exceptional . once we got too muchu picchu it was also amazing but the amount of people kind of take away from the architecture and moment of accomplishment. I would never do much Picchu on the train I enjoyed that inca trial far better!

Great experience. Must do. It's like backpacking, but with great resources. You will only carry your personal.backpack, the team will carry all other resources suck as tents, sleeping bags, etc

It was a phenomenal experience. Life changing, in fact. The trails are so beautiful and the views are unbeatable. We didn’t experience any issues or drama with the guide company or the locals. Great vibes the whole time. We learned a lot about the local lands and Inca culture. Our 2 guides were Jose and Marco. I couldn’t have asked for better guides. Not only their knowledge of the trails, but also their personality and ability to inspire us to get the most out of the experience. I consider Jose and Marco friends for life now.

Jose and Marco were the absolute best guides. They were extremely knowledgeable of the history and culture you find yourself immersed into immediately. The hike is definitely challenging with the altitude so hop on the stair master a couple weeks out. Our guides were key to keeping us focused and moral high through some of the tougher points. This was a life changing experience for me. Completing the hike is a feel good on its own but ending it in an ancient sacred city, adds some depth. I will forever carry the memories and relationships created on this trail with me. I highly recommend you go with Tierrasvivas and request Jose and Marco for your guides!

Absolutely loved the experience! Efrain was our guide and he was brilliant. You could tell that he was very passionate about the history of the Incans and took the time to explain the backstories of each of the sites we visited. We couldn't have done the trail without the four porters that were with us, so a special thanks to Andres, Pedro, Esteban and Mateo! Each day they set up the tents for us, cooked great food for us and carried 30kgs from one camp site to the next. After we had finished we said our goodbyes but as it was my wife's birthday the following day I invited the whole team for a surprise birthday dinner for her. They all showed up and we had such a great time that the restaurant owners had to politely ask us to leave as we had stayed well passed closing time. I will definitely one day be going back and doing another trail with Terra Vivas!

10/10!! Lo recomiendo muchisisimo! Vine con mi padre y hicimos en inka trek de 4 días y estuvo espectacular. Planeamos nuestro viaje de último momento y nos ayudaron con absolutamente todo desde el segundo que los contactamos por whatsapp, hasta que nos dejaron en el aeropuerto de camino a casa. Nuestro guía Bernabé sabe de todo, y es muy amable. Su equipo, Juan, German, Macario, Guillermo, Fernando nos trataron como familia y estaban ahí para cuidarnos a todas horas. Siempre estaban preparados y listos para atendernos. Nuestro Chef Leoncio prepara comida deliciosa, lo que te preparan en la montaña en medio del bosque es impecable, merece estrella Michelin. Lo recomiendo mucho.
