We had the best time ever doing the Inca Trail with our tour guide Sara, Jésus, and team! Sara was a great tour guide giving us cool facts about the fauna, flora, and landmarks around us. The food we received for breakfast, lunch, and dinner was beyond our expectations, everything was prepared beautifully and was delicious. Thank you for making the experience unforgettable for us!

We did the 2 day inka trail with my best friend. Herbert was our guide and he did an excellent job of keeping the right pace on the trail, explaining things or keeping us entertained. Also acted as our photographer 😂 We had a great time, thanks so much!

Jesús Vargas was our english-speaking guide on our 2-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu with the Tierras Vivas agency. His knowledge and passion about the history of these sites gave us a wonderful trip. Jesús is very helpful and nice, we strongly recommend booking with them!

This was an amazing experience. Can't say enough good things about Nico, our AMAZING guide, the friendly and supportive team of porters, and the talented chefs -- the food was outstanding and accomodations were very well set up/organized. Nico knew how to handle every step of the trek, and he was kind, so knowledgeable, and overall so good at what he does. Transportation and communication was also really good. The trek was challenging but completely doable and a once in a lifetime experience!

Nico was an incredible guide and the whole team helped us to achieve our dream of hiking the Inca Trail. Nico made every day magical and his knowledge of the area was invaluable. The Inca Trail is difficult physically but the whole team cheered for us, fed us, and made sure we were safe. It was the trip and experience of a lifetime. I am grateful to Nico for his leadership and compassion.

This was an amazing trip. Nico (our guide) did every possible and impossible to welcome us and make our experience unforgettable. The food is amazing, the views are spectacular. Professor Nico's lectures were thoughtful, fun, and remarkably engaging. We learned so much!!

The Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu was fabulous! The hiking was (good) hard, the food was amazing, the staff was so supportive— it was truly an experience to remember. If you want to go with an incredible guide—Nico is amazing. He is so knowledgeable about the sites and In an history. He also tells great stories over happy hour popcorn and hot chocolate. He met each one of us exactly where we were. The staff were great in preparations and also on the trail. I highly recommend this experience to those who are ready for a challenge and exciting adventure!

I had an excellent time on the trail! Our guide, Nico, was amazing - very knowledgeable about the history, culture, flora, and fauna on the trail. I had some health difficulties on the trail and Nico made sure I was safe, adjusted plans, and made sure I still had an excellent trip. The food on the trail was excellent thanks to our chef, Javier and his assistant, and they were able to provide vegan meals. Very thankful to the whole team!!

This was an incredible trek! It was so beautiful and our guide Reuben was very knowledgeable. Unforgettable experience

This was the best experience I've ever had! Nico was a fantastic guide. He shared so much knowledge and adapted the trek to suit our needs. He showed so much care and attention to everyone. He even picked up garbage all along the trail. This company treats their staff so much more ethically than others we saw along the path (strict weight limits for porters). I'd recommend this company above all others.

We went on a 4 night/3 day Inca trek to Machu Picchu with our 2 children, 10 & 13. Our guide was Nico who met us the night before the trek to explain what would occur for the next few days and what we would need to pack etc. from the moment we met him he became part of our family - caring, funny, supportive throughout. His knowledge of all the ancient sites really bought the history of the Incas to life. Nico was suppprted by a chef and sous chef who had hot food ready for us - morning, noon and night. The food was delicious and on our last night chef Javier even cooked us a cake! Given there was no facilities other than 1 gas ring, extraordinary! We also had a number of porters who set everything set up for us at each stop - a tent for dining and at night a tent, mattress and sleeping bag all neatly ready for us, then packed up and ran ahead of us to set up for the next point. The whole trip exceeded our expectations- brilliant company and fantastic guide and team. We hadn’t heard of this company before but would have no hesitation to recommend. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity and it was really elevated by Nico and the team.

The 2 day hike to Machu Picchu was amazing with Reuben as our guide! He was patient with us during the trek and allowed all of us to create the walking pace. Reuben was able to tell us so much about the history of Machu Picchu on our second day of the tour while exploring the south side of Machu Picchu. Would highly recommend Reuben for this tour or any others (the lake or rainbow mountain). If I come back to do the 4 or 10 day trek to Machu Picchu I would specifically ask for Reuben to be my guide!

Had such a great time. Ruben our guide was lovely and we had a great girl gang crew! The hotel included was great and we has some spare time to explore !

Hiking the Inca Trail was the trip of a lifetime. It's one of the world's most popular trails but it far exceeded our expectations. Photos and videos do not do it justice. If you only ride the train to and from Machu Picchu, you are absolutely missing out. Tierras Vivas made the experience incredible. They promised a group of 2 - 6 and we were the only two in the group! Many other groups had significantly more people - we felt very fortunate to have a private guide. Our guide Ruben, was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. We enjoyed his company and would request him as a guide on a future trip to Peru. The porters worked extremely hard and made sure our experience was as comfortable as possible. Our cook was incredible as well - we couldn't believe how many delicious meals he was able to make out on the trail. He even made us a cake! I would absolutely recommend booking with this company. If you do, you won't regret it!

Plinio and Jesus were amazing! Wonderful food and the porters were so helpful. Great views well worth your time. Good tours of Inca sites.
