Trek/Tour companies recommendations
 
Can anyone recommend a tour company to do the Inca Trail? Any suggestions on itinerary? So far, my daughter and I fly into Lima, spend 2 days, then go to Cusco, spend 2 days to acclimatize. I would like to hike the trail to Machu Picchu and then we are free for another 4 nights, any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Are you looking for an Inca trail tour where you camp out at night? Or something more "upscale"? We did this Salkantay Trail lodge-to-lodge trek earlier this year and it was sensational. Its longer than the Inca Trail at 6 nights on the trail, plus a night in Aguas Calientes, but there are also far far fewer people on the Salkantay trail than on the actual Inca trail. If you go into REI dot com, you can find it under "Travel" and read reviews.

We are looking at tenting the trail, for cost purposes and the adventure.

We went with Llama Path. They were excellent.

Our guide Raul subsequently left and started his own company. Everyone seems to agree that he is amazing as the reviews on Tripadvisor are incredibly positive:

Thank you on the recommendation, I have looked at his website and will now further investigate.
