点评:We had an amazing experience with Evolution Treks. Our guide Sara Herrera was friendly, professional, and always checked in on us and kept us informed. She had so much information and was super engaging. She always had an answer to our questions. We enjoyed getting to know her over the four days and many meals together. The cook, Nicolas, was amazing. Phenomenal! Everything was delicious and nutritious and kept us energized for the trek. Our first night was my partner’s birthday but we didn’t mention it to anybody ahead of time. We had brought drinks to do a little toast at the campsite and Sara overheard. She told Nicolas and he had a beautiful iced cake ready in a couple hours to sing to him after dinner! It was touching and very impressive! We’re very appreciative of them for making his birthday a little extra special. The porters, Dora, Luisa, Deunicia, Guillermo, Fernando, Abram, Augusto, Pio, Nazario, Juan, Elias, Elvio, Ignacio, and Juan de Dios, all did an amazing job not only carrying the equipment but setting up the lunch and campsites, serving the food, waking us up in the morning, and welcoming us warmly when we arrived. They make it the incredible experience that it is. I know especially because my partner and I were the only ones who didn’t hire an extra porter and I kinda wish we had because the climb was so difficult! It’s incredible what they do and they deserve a lot of recognition. We went with Evolution Treks because they promised to be the most ethical company and I sincerely hope that the porters, guides, and cooks are being paid fairly for creating the experience for us and the hard work that they do over four days. The bar seems to be very low with the protections for porters on the Inca Trail and I was pretty shocked at what I saw. I hope Evolution Trek is going beyond just hiring women and providing high quality backpacks to really repay the value that the porters bring to the company. I can’t say enough what an incredible experience we had thanks to our team and I hope they get to partake in the beautiful meals that they provide and that the company provides the same no-stress transportation to get to the trail and home afterward for them as they did for us.
翻译:我们与Evolution Treks的体验棒极了。我们的向导Sara Herrera既友善又专业,她时常关心我们的情况并向我们通报各种信息。她知识渊博,讲解起来也极其生动有趣,总能耐心解答我们的各种疑问。在整整四天里,我们与她一同用餐、交流,相处得非常愉快。厨师Nicolas同样出色至极!他做的食物美味又营养,让我们在徒步过程中始终精力充沛。我们的第一晚恰逢我伴侣的生日,但我们事先并未告诉任何人。我们带了饮料,打算在营地里小酌庆祝一下,结果被萨拉听到了。她把这件事告诉了尼古拉斯,几小时后,他便准备了一个漂亮的冰蛋糕,并在晚餐后为我们唱生日歌!这一举动真是感人至深且令人钦佩!我们非常感谢他们让这个生日变得格外特别。那些搬运工分别是:多拉、路易莎、德乌尼西亚、吉列尔莫、费尔南多、亚伯拉罕、奥古斯托、皮奥、纳萨里奥、胡安、埃利亚斯和埃尔维奥。伊格纳西奥和胡安·德·迪奥斯表现得非常出色:他们不仅负责搬运装备,还负责布置午餐场地和营地、分发食物、早上叫我们起床,并在我们抵达时热情地迎接我们。正是因为有他们的付出,这次旅程才如此难忘。我深有体会,因为我和我的伴侣是唯一没有额外雇佣背夫的游客,现在真有点后悔没这么做,因为那次攀登实在太艰难了!他们的付出令人钦佩,绝对值得被大力褒奖。我们选择了Evolution Treks,因为他们承诺自己是最具道德操守的公司。我真心希望那些挑夫、向导和厨师能够因为为我们创造了这次旅行体验,以及他们在四天里付出的辛勤劳动而获得公平的报酬。目前,针对印加古道上挑夫的保护措施标准似乎相当低下,我所看到的情况着实令我震惊。我希望Evolution Trek不仅仅局限于雇佣女性员工以及提供高品质的背包,还能真正回馈这些背夫们为公司所做出的贡献。由于团队的出色表现,我们拥有了一次无比美妙的体验;我真心希望他们也能享受到Evolution Trek所提供的美味餐食。此外,我也期望公司能像对待我们一样,为这些背夫们安排毫无压力的交通服务,让他们能够顺利往返于徒步路线与家中。
