Review of the Saint Kitts Train Trek, including Wingfield Estate, scenic railway views, drinks, guides, transport, value, and booking advice.

“My trip started off nicely with a minivan tour of part of the island. Guide was polite and well spoken. He then took me and my friend to a vacate field and said train would meet us there.

3.4-Day Lares Trek to Machu Picchu with Panoramic Train

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 20 reviews · 4 days · from $690

Review of the 4-day Lares Trek to Machu Picchu, with hot springs, weaving villages, high passes, Maras, Ollantaytambo, and the Vistadome train.

“Un excellent trek a faire en famille ou entre amis, la difficulté est abordable. Cependant il faut noté que le manque d’oxygène et le froid la nuit diminuent nos capacités physiques. Il fait déjà être sportif ou à minima en bonne condition physique. Les paysages sont époustouflants et le guide suit notre rythme (vous pouvez faire autant de pauses que nécessaire) ! Nos chefs cuisiniers étaient excellent, je recommande vivement !!”

“Thank you so much for this truly unique experience!

I really appreciated the attention to detail and warmth Filio and the team provided during our trek.
