About
You have heard about the Inca Trail, which is one the most famous routes to get to royal grounds of Machu Picchu.  The Inca Trail crosses selected points of the beautiful Inca sacred valley that is unique for its amazing landscapes.  The   2 day trek, does not contemplate camping or hiking, instead you will travel by a   Expedition train and enjoy the superb scenario of the Inca Valleys until you get to a point to disembark and from a designated location you will walk the trail and get to the 'Sun gate'.  The views from this panoramic landscape will encourage you to finish, one in a lifetime experience, the  Machu Picchu trek.

    Excellent tours, knowledgeable and polite guides
    We have just finished a 5 day stay in Lima and Peru. We have all had a fabulous time. We were with a group of 16 and Demas, Nico and Richard our driver really liked after us. Their knowledge about the culture and country was excellent and they were polite, friendly and had a lovely sense of humour to put us all at ease. Some of the tours were very challenging, both with the terrain and the altitude but they paced us very well taking into account the different abilities within the group. I would thoroughly recommend travelling with Valencia tours in this part of the world and would like to thank the three of them for looking after us so well.

    Valencia Travel’s Frank was an amazing tour guide
    Had a fantastic tour of Peru, booked through Newmarket Holidays in the UK and supported locally by Valencia Travel. Our tour guide Frank was absolutely amazing. He was so personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Can’t praise him enough for making our holiday a great one

    Best multi-day hike of my life
    This was an impromptu trip. But, it was an amazing one. Valencia travel had arranged a great trip at a very budget friendly price. All the accommodations before and the during the trek was better than expected. My guide was a very funny and committed to job kind of person, who knew a lot about the history of Peru and the mountains. I was the only English speaking person in the group and he didn't make me realize that. I would definitely go back again next year with Valencia travels

    Peru will blow you away!
    We had no idea how stunningly beautiful the landscape, mountains, gorges, and archeological sites are in Peru. Our tour with TripADeal and Valencia Travel was fantastic. It was well paced, informative and our exceptionally skilled guide Hugo shared wonderful insights into the culture, history and current social climate of Peru. He attended to all our groups needs with calm and discreet care. Don’t miss Peru! Machu Picchu, Cusco and Lake Titicaca are extraordinary. Wholeheartedly recommend this tour, company and guide.

    Great experience in an amazing country.
    My wife and I had a fabulous time. We don’t often do guided tours, but our guide, Hugo, was absolutely fantastic. Well-organised, knowledgeable and compassionate. We couldn’t have asked for a better leader for our Peru adventure.

    Surreal experience in the majestic Andes
    What a wonderful two days we had with a Cusco tour and Machu Pichu. Our hotels, the Aranwa in Cusco and the Inkaterra in Machu Pichu were phenomenal. Most of all,our guide Guido, was an incredible host and so full of Peruvian history. His attention to detail was superb. We had an unbelievable time due to his attentiveness.

    2 days private tour to Machu Picchu
    We took a 2 day private tour to Machu Picchu and it was fantastic especially because of our guide Nico. He took really good care of us and his knowledge about the history of the inca was just impressive. We would def recommend the agency and highlight again our tour guide Nico. Thank you.

    Awesome Guides & Crew and Amazing Experience
    I've been meaning to write this review since our return in Sept. 2022! But, life keep intervening with one thing or another. That my family (including 2 teens) and I still treasure our Macchu Picchu hike of a year ago really says a lot. We can't say enough good things about our guides Rudy and Aldo. They were fantastic in encouraging and explaining along the way, and were just the right amount of calm, firmness, and fun. The crew of 16 cooked delicious meals, set up camp, cleaned up after us, and greeted us with nice basins of hot water at the end of our long hikes. They were truly priceless! We also were very lucky to have a great group of people on our 4 day hike. Everyone got along nicely, and we shared good laughs and stories. The hike through the diverse landscape, learning about the Inca civilization, and visiting one of the Wonders of the World was a true experience of a lifetime. My family and I highly recommend this hike, especially with Rudy and Aldo as guides, with Valencia Travel!

    Peru - Lima, Cusco, Machu Pichu, Secret Valley, Puno and Lake Titicaca with amazing tour guide Hugo
    The service provided by Hugo was unexpected. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. My wife had altitude sickness and Hugo arranged oxygen and arranged a doctor to meet her at the hotel. He handled and managed the situation very professionally. Everything was planned and went on like clock work. Thanks Hugo.

Booked this tour with Valencia Travel for January 2022, and everyone was extremely professional and knowledgeable, from Vivian (our agent booking all the services), to our concierge (Miguel), and our tour guides (Marco Antonio, Cefarin, and Hugo). Hugo took us on our 2-Day Inca Trail Hike, which was quite the adventure. He was personable as well as very prepared for anything that could happen, well informed about the area, its history, and was able to knowledgeably answer all of our questions. He and Valencia Travel made sure that we were well taken care of the entire trip. I am grateful for this group and the excellent service they provided. Thank you all again!!

An amazing experience! Aldo was our amazing and very experienced guide. He explained just the right amount of history and knew just about everything we asked about. We also had a great time sampling some of the local Chicha in a hole in the wall place that we would have never found alone. We will always cherish our experience!

Thanks Aldo!
Thanks also to Carla who organized our entire trip and the entire team at Valencia travel!

We had an incredible experience on the short Inca Trail and Machu Picchu with Corina Duran who is with Valencia Travel. She was an amazing guide - kind, patient, and very informative. Our day hiking the short Inca Trail was magical as we almost had the trail to ourselves. Corina expertly explained the Incan history along with the incredible flora & fauna. Corina previously worked at MP so knew the best way to walk through the ruins. Valencia Travel was very responsive with our initial booking. I highly recommend using Valencia Travel. And If you get the opportunity, request Corina! You will love her!

Would have rated it 6 if we could!

Exceptional tour - Valencia travel were very easy to deal with, flexible and genuinely interested in giving us the best experience possible!

Our tour guide Hugo was amazing, he was a
super knowledgeable and gave us a great history of the Quechuan and the Incan kings during the trek and the tour of Machu Picchu. Not only this but he was very friendly and gave really good recommendations of what to do in Cusco (and elsewhere in Peru). He was also really helpful with us during the trek, making sure we were safe and helping us at times we were struggling with the steep ascents or descents - especially helpful as we were not the strongest hikers.

Would highly recommend Valencia and Hugo for Machu Picchu or any other tour!

I was lucky enough to have Christian as a private guide for the 2 day 1 night short Inca trail. Christian was very accommodating and answered all of my questions. He was patient during the hike and it was great being able to go at any pace I wanted. He was informative when I had questions such as “how long until the waterfall?” Or “how long until the sun gate?” Which I really appreciated. Christian was very knowledgeable with all the history and facts of the Incas as well as of Machu Picchu. Thanks for a great trip!

We were so lucky to get Corina as a travel guide. We had struggled with altitude sickness but she patiently encouraged us up the mountain at a manageable pace and shared so much knowledge of the architecture and Inca people. Climbing up to Machu Picchu is an experience we will never forget and it was made so much more special by having such a wonderful guide.

Thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Corina at Valencia Travel. She used her local knowledge to give us the best tour with lots of historical context, explanation of flora and fauna and helped us take some memorable pictures. All the hassle of the your was taken off us by the guide and we have made a friend. Recommend this tour and especially our guide Corina.

We had an incredible trip! Valencia did a great job communicating at every stage, and our guide, Ruben, was knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely kind. Throughout the hike and during our visit to Machu Picchu, he checked in with us regarding our needs and taught us a lot about Peruvian and Incan history and about different plants and animals we saw. I can’t express how grateful we are to him for sharing his knowledge and expertise—and for suggesting and taking many photos for us to remember this experience!— and to Valencia for their thoughtful and organized planning. Truly one of the best experiences I’ve had.

I cannot thank Rolly enough for the experience he has given us. He was such a knowledgeable guide that actually knew the culture of the Tawantinsuyu (Inca) people. We had (almost) no complications over the two days we spent with him. And the one we did have he handled stupendously. I would not have wanted another guide to take me to see the Lost City of the Incas!
