They were super accommodating to my food restrictions and it was great not to have to worry about planning most of the trip for the Inca Trail. Everything was taken care of and we had a great time. Group 8 for the porters were amazing, including all of the porters, chefs and our guides (Josep and Frederico) made the trip for us!
