This was our second trek on the Inca Trail with Bamba. We had such a fantastic experience with our daughter 4 years ago, that we made sure to book with Bamba again when we took our boys (ages 10 & 16) last week. Our guide was Francisco, and I can't say enough good things about him. We felt like we were saying goodbye to a dear friend by the end of the trek. He is full of passion, pride, and knowledge about the Andean way of life, and we valued every bit that he shared with us. He gave particular attention to my 10-year-old son, and they were two men on the trail together almost the entire time. This took much of the stress off of my husband and me, as our son was eager to spend time with Francisco and learn from him and they kept a nice pace together. I am so grateful for the friendship that they formed on this incredible hike.
The porters are sweet, incredibly hard-working and supportive. The chef is incredible. There is always more than enough food and everything was absolutely delicious. This company is 2/2 for exceptional service in our experience, and would highly recommend them. Francisco is a star and a great asset to Bamba, and all of his guests on the trail are in luck!
