点评:We had an absolutely amazing experience with Llama Path, and the Inca Trail was truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the entire team went above and beyond to make the trek such a special and memorable experience.
A special thank you to our guide, Yu Ben, who was incredibly patient, helpful, and knowledgeable. His extensive knowledge of the Andes and the Incans, its history, and its culture really brought the experience to life. He was always happy to answer questions, offer encouragement, and make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves throughout the trek. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
The food was another highlight and far exceeded anything we thought would be possible on a trek like this! Chef Santos did an incredible job preparing fresh, varied, and delicious meals throughout the journey. He was also so friendly and welcoming, and we were genuinely amazed by the quality and variety of the food, especially given the conditions and remote locations. It made every meal something to look forward to.
The porters were truly inspirational and an essential part of what made this experience so special. They were always friendly, helpful, and encouraging, clapping for us at each stop and constantly showing their support. Watching them carry such heavy loads while still making sure we were having a great time was incredibly humbling. A special mention to Concepción, the head porter, whose organisation and attention to detail helped everything run smoothly and ensured the whole team could focus on enjoying the trek. The dedication, hard work, and care shown by the entire porter team were genuinely inspiring, and they deserve so much credit for making this experience possible.
We were also really impressed by Llama Path's commitment to its team and to sustainable tourism. The company's efforts to provide porters with appropriate clothing, accommodation, and support demonstrate a real appreciation for the people who make these treks possible. It's wonderful to see a company that cares about both the experience of its guests and the well-being of its staff.
My only feedback that I hope can be addressed is for the organisers / llama path office team - the trek briefing was not held till 7:30 pm the night before the trek, which is not acceptable given the early start the following morning, whilst if someone has missed something from the packing list then this leaves no time to go and action this. Please hold these briefings earlier in the day, even if there needs to be a 'pre-briefing' without the guide hosted by someone else from the office earlier in the day. It would also be helpful if the brochure we received at the briefing could be sent to us earlier as a PDF via email so that we can make sure we have everything we need.
Overall, this was an incredible adventure that we will remember for the rest of our lives. The scenery and the Inca Trail itself were breathtaking, but it was the people who truly made the experience exceptional. A huge thank you to Yu Ben, Santos, Concepción, all the porters, and the entire Llama Path team. We would wholeheartedly recommend Llama Path to anyone considering the Inca Trail!
翻译:我们与Llama Path的合作体验简直棒极了,而印加古道之旅也确实令人终生难忘!从头到尾,整个团队都竭尽全力,让我们的徒步之旅变得如此特别且令人难忘。
特别要感谢我们的向导余本,他极其耐心、乐于助人且知识渊博。他对安第斯山脉、印加文明及其历史与文化的深入了解让整个旅程更加生动有趣。他总是欣然解答我们的疑问,给予我们鼓励。我们确保每位成员在整个徒步过程中都感到舒适且乐在其中。我们实在找不到比他更出色的向导了!
美食也是此次旅程的一大亮点,其水准远远超出了我们原本的期待!桑托斯厨师在旅途中精心烹制了各种新鲜又美味的餐点。他为人亲切友善,而食物的质量与种类也着实令我们惊叹不已——考虑到当时的环境以及地处偏远的地理位置,能做到这点实在不易。这让每一顿饭都成了令人期待的时刻。
这些挑夫真是令人钦佩,正是他们让这次旅程变得如此特别。他们始终友善、乐于助人且充满鼓励之心:每到一个站点都会为我们鼓掌,不断地给予我们支持。看着他们扛着沉重的行李,却仍然确保我们能玩得开心,真是让人心生敬意。特别要提一下领队挑夫康塞普西翁。他们的组织能力以及对细节的严谨把控使得一切顺利进行,也让整个团队能够全心享受这次徒步之旅。全体背夫们的奉献精神、辛勤付出与细心照料着实令人钦佩,正是他们的付出才让这次体验成为可能,他们理应得到更多的赞誉。
我们还对Llama Path公司对团队的重视以及对可持续旅游事业的承诺印象深刻。这家公司努力为背夫们提供合适的衣物与住宿条件。这种关怀与支持充分体现了公司对那些让徒步旅行得以实现的人员的重视。能看到一家既关心游客体验又关心员工福祉的公司,真是太好了。
我唯一的建议希望能够得到改进,那就是针对活动的组织方/骆驼之路办公室团队——徒步前的说明会直到出发前一天晚上7点半才举行,考虑到次日清晨就要出发,这样的安排实在不可接受。虽然如果有人遗漏了装箱清单上的物品,也来不及再去处理。因此,请尽量在当天早些时候举行这类简报会,即便需要先由办公室的其他同事主持一场“预简报”也行。另外,如果在简报会上分发的宣传册能提前以PDF格式通过邮件发送给我们,那也将大有帮助,这样我们就能确保备齐所有所需物品。
总的来说。这是一次终生难忘的奇妙之旅。沿途的风景以及印加古道本身都令人叹为观止,但真正让这次经历变得非凡的,还是那些善良的人们。衷心感谢余本、桑托斯、康塞普西翁、所有的背夫,以及Llama Path团队的全体成员。我们诚挚推荐Llama Path给任何打算徒步印加古道的人!
