I just returned home (FL, USA) from my trip to Machupicchu via the 4 day hike with SAS. I must say that they are extremely professional and caring. I had a difficult time with the altitude, but our guides, Victor and Jose, were there to support me and help me when I needed it. The food was beyond excellent, the tents, sleeping bags and pads were comfy. The best is the morning wake-up with hot coca tea or coffee at your tent. I have nothing but excellent things to say, and I loved every moment (lack of oxygen, dizzy, and complaining) of the hike. My only advise to those considering - make sure your boots are tied tight enough.

Thanks SAS!

Just came back from Peru...and what an amazing experience it was to hike the inca trail with your company (7/11-7/14)! Fantastic food...super-encouraging and supportive guides (Bravo, Saul & Silbario/Banderos!!!) who went out of their way to take care of us and who made us BELIEVE we can do it! Now that i\'m home, i plan to do 2 things: (1) to tell you what a great job your company did and i will recommend you guys to anyone who considers going, and (2) display my hiking sticks on the family room wall! Thank you for helping me accomplish a major birthday wish!

oops...forgot to thank Robyn Quintana! My group had to travel in 2 separate groups with varying itineraries and you did an awesome job arranging everything. thank you!

Annie

I just wanted to send a little note to thank you for making our Inca trail an unforgettable experience. Thanks Isaac and Eric for being very parient with us. We never felt like there was any pressure on us. The food was great, probably the best I have had in South America and our porters were unbelievable. We´ll definitely recommend SAS to anyone who asks. (and the celebration in Mama Africas was pretty good too!)

I had a fantastic time walking the Inca trail starting on 26 Dec 05. Our group of 15 had Roberto and Julian as guides. They were both very knowledgeable on the area and the Inca history. Roberto also managed our group and the porters extremely professionally. He was always aware of any problems in our group either with people who were struggling with walking due to injury or illness or with personality conflicts.

I was the slowest walker in our group for all the uphill sections and so spent a lot of time walking with either Roberto or Julian at the back of the group. I had a great time chatting and laughing with them. They are both very kind men. I would not have made it to the top of Dead Women's Pass without their encouragement and support. Also their cheerful attitude to walking in the rain each day was infectious. The Inca trail didn’t turn out to be as difficult as I expected once I followed their advice and went at my own pace instead of trying to keep up with the group.

All our porters and cooks were fantastic. Boris cooked great food for us, I never expected that we would eat so well when camping. It was great to arrive at the campsite after a few hours walking and have someone take my pack from me and then get handed a hot drink to revive me. They also surprised me by having a hot, sweet cup of chamomile tea and a sandwich waiting for me when I got to the top of Dead Women’s Pass – an excellent touch. Thank you to all the porters who tried to teach me a few Spanish words as they ran passed me several times each day.

I will have great memories from the Inca Trail for a long time. I am looking forward to the day when I can walk it again.

I've just returned from the Macmillan Peru Hiking Challenge and want to thank Ozzi, Victor and all the porters for making the trip such a memorable experience. The kindness and care taken by the SAS team was second to none and it was a pleasure to trek alongside them. Without Ozzi's magic touch I may not have made it over Dead Woman's Pass but thanks to his and his team mates encouragement I made it all the way to mystical Machu Picchu. Special thanks also to Raoul and Juan for their support. The food was a credit to all concerned and the presentation excellent. Anyone who travels with SAS will count themselves privileged to trek with such a fabulous team. Also thank you to Ivan who took care of us on the Amazon rainforest leg of the trip. We had a great time and you are all a real credit to SAS.

Lynn and Owen Dales

We have just returned from the 4 day Lares Valley trek and would like to say what an absolutely brilliant time we had. Although initally disappointed that we were too late to do the real Inka Trail the Lares Valley was in no way a second best option. We saw the most fantastic scenery and the people local to the area made the trip - particularly the children and the visit to the shool. Thank you to SAS Travel and their perfect organisation and particularly to Jose Luis our main guide who was great. If you can't do the Inka Trail do this one instead as it still ends at Machu Pichu to see the sunrise before the crowds.

Kevin Murray

SAS is a first class operation. The porters really hussle, the food is better and more than I eat at home, and the guides (Eric and Victor) are very personable. Some slight confusion about billing was quickly straightened out upon our arrival back in Cusco, with SAS visiting our hotel with the refund. Staying at the Marqueses was pleasurable, and that hotel being associated with SAS seemed to streamline things. Our ride back to the airport was timely, with Raoul even arriving 1 hour early to ensure we had gotten our wakeup calls.

Huw and Allison David

Thank you for organising our recent, excellent experience on the 4 day Inca Trail. The whole thing was faultless. Our guides, Virgilio and Alexi were professional, friendly and very informative. The porters and preparations at camp left us amazed. Boris´ food was far superior than that which you´d find in many good restaurants, never mind half way up a mountain side!

Thanks again. We will recommend you!

Hi Robyn,

I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful time that I had hiking the Inca trail. Our group left on Dec 3rd. I had Roberto and Freddie as my guides. We set out with 16 people in our group. We encountered some problems with the railroad during the stike on Dec 6th and 7th. I ended up walking from Aguas Calientes to Kilometer 82 down the train tracks. No problem, I loved every minute of it. More adventure, and I realize that SAS had nothing to do with the strike.

I really wanted to tell you about Roberto and Freddie. They made sure that we had a place to stay and food to eat. Roberto helped me get my airline tickes changed, so I wouldn't lose any more precious time. They stayed with our group throught the whole ordeal and they walked out with us (28 kilometers). They both went way beyond the call of duty. They had to put up with customers bitching and complaing about the strike (not me of course). The whole time they kept a positive attitude and kept the whole group upbeat. Roberto's knowledge and passion for his job was inspirational. I believe our whole group was able to take a little of Peru back home with us. Roberto and Freddie should be commended by you for going way beyond what was expected to make our trip enjoyable and comfortable. please tell them thank you for me, and please thank them from the rest of the group also.

Warmest regards from Vermont,

Mike Callahan

We've just returned from our around the world trip, and doing the Inka Trail was definitely one of our highlights. I had my concerns beforehand (not being the most energetic person etc!) but the SAS Travel gang were absolutely brilliant. Our guides, Freddy and Alexito, were heroes and looked after me the whole way, no matter how slow I went! The food was awesome and plenty of it. I take my hat off to all the porters - I truly admired their work, and they had such cute smiles! 5 star treatment - thanks to you all, or as we say here in Wales - DIOLCH YN FAWR!

Jimena Lopez

I did the Inka trail on 11/9/05... It was a great experience... thanks to Jose and Roberto, our guides, all the porters...

The group of people was great... sorry I missed you in Mama Africa... wish you the best... JIME

have recently finished the inca trail, Sept 25th - 28th.What an amazing experience, which was made even better by the exceptional work of all the porters, cooks, ambulancia and guides, they work really hard and were always polite and cheerful to us, worth their weight in gold. Special thanks to Ozy, who helped, along with others, when I had trouble with the altitiude going up dead woman's pass and on the next day when I had trouble with my old knees and we were walking in the dark, he sweet talked me down, many thanks Ozy. Also I want to thank Robyn for giving us the opportunity to visit Chacan, I really enjoyed it, everyone was lovely. Keep up the good work, and thanks a million. Pat
