Amazing experience! My mother and I did the 5day/4night trek to Choquequirao. Our guide, Filio, was incredibly patient with my slow pace and had the perfect balance of using breaks to catch our breath, drink water, and observe our surroundings. He would also take opportunities to share more about his background or provide information about the plants/land around us. He always had good humor, remained flexible to our needs/requests, and was happy to chat and answer questions. When we arrived at Choquequirao, Filio had a plethora of knowledge to share about the site and Inca history in general.
The remainder of the Trexperience staff that joined us were amazing as well. We were joined by Daniel (chef), Elizabeth (support chef), and Erbert (porter). We were incredibly impressed with all the food provided and the quality of its presentation and taste. Every single meal was delightful. On our final morning we had jokingly requested chocolate cake and sure enough Daniel and Elizabeth had it prepared, even decorated with strawberries! Erbert managed all of our supplies with care and even with the repetition of setting up and tearing down at each site everyone remained positive, more often than not laughing and joking. It was a really fun time to be able to travel with this group and I would highly recommend this option for anyone interested in a trek to Choquequirao.
