SMALL GROUPS
WHERE THE QUALITY IS THE CONNECTION
In Wayki Trek we believe that the true value of a hike is not only the destination, but how and with whom you share. For this reason, since more than two decades ago, we chose to operate with small groups of maximum 6 people, a decision based on our philosophy of quality, safety and authenticity.Walking in small groups completely transforms the experience.Here are some benefits:
- – Paced Each traveler can walk at your own pace, without pressure or delays. This allows you to enjoy the environment, stopping to observe, reflect, or simply to breathe with calm.
- Quality time on each site To visit archaeological sites and natural, it makes better use of the time to explore, to ask questions and connect with the story and the energy of the place.
- Dedicated attention of Our guides, cooks and porters can provide a closer attention, human and flexible. This not only improves the experience, but that creates an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie.
- Significant interaction The small groups to promote authentic relationships between travelers, as well as with our local team. The conversations are flowing, the laughter shared, the stories are multiplied.
- Safety and well-being guaranteed With fewer people, our guides can better monitor the health, performance, and the needs of every traveller, by checking security protocols in a more agile and customized.
Why not large groups?
In large groups, the difference in pace between the first and the last hiker can get to be 30 minutes to 2 hours. This generates a dead time, waiting uncomfortable and experience less smooth for all.In addition, it reduces the possibility of close interaction with the guides, porters, and other travelers, affecting the sense of community that characterizes our trips.
Less people. More connection.
In Wayki Trek we prioritize quality over quantity. And it shows in every step, every story shared, and each look that crosses the road.Because not only will we take you to Machu Picchu, we will take you to live intensely.
