We have over 100 porters from different communities in the Sacred Valley, such as Paru Paru, Amaru, Cuyo Grande, Cotataqui, Pampallaqta, Sacaca, Ampay, Yanahuara, Huilloc, Chincheros, and Umasbamba. They are "hardworking, honest, and cheerful men" who carry over 40 pounds on their backs while running like superheroes. Most of our guests say: "The porters were exceptionally hardworking and always kind and helpful... the porters were incredible."

Some testimonials:
"Our cooks created delicious meals at every stop. How such wonderful food came from a kitchen tent on a mountainside, we will never know. The food served at lunch and dinner was incredible—I will never forget the first time I tried quinoa and all the different varieties of corn and potatoes. Looking at other groups on the Inca Trail, I knew we definitely had the best service! I would always recommend Machupicchu Trekking Peru to anyone without a doubt... The food was absolutely perfect—I have never eaten so well on any hike! I was so impressed with the porters and the kitchen team... how they managed to bake and decorate a cake in the middle of nowhere was astonishing."
Machupicchu Trekking Peru has the policy of working very closely with the local communities in Cusco (Sacred Valley of the Incas) and with families who are on the route where we do the hikes. Generally our guides, cooks, porters, drivers and employees for our trips come from the surrounding towns (Pisac, Ollantaytambo, Chincheros), as does much of our food and supplies. Our goal is to help the local economy as much as possible on a direct level. Many of our porters have the opportunity to work as guides after completing their studies and demonstrating their language proficiency or talented porters become great cooks after a few years.
