What's it like to hike the Inca Trail, why is it so special, how do you get there, and how to prepare?
Join our founder Mike, with his over 20 years experience and having hiked the trail over 500 times, on this seminar (using slides, images and videos) to explore the foundations and history of the Inca Trail. We’ll discover what it is like on each hiking day on the trail today, as well as what fauna and flora can be encountered in the cloud jungle.

We are incredibly excited to be able to offer a virtual tour of Machu Picchu on the winter solstice (June 21, 2021), the most important day of the year. Together we’ll witness what happens when the first light of the sunrise hits the Temple of the Sun on the shortest day of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s an incredibly unique experience that has never before been offered, so we hope you’ll be able to join us! It’s completely free, and tip supported.
For the past 3+ months our Papi’s Treks founder Mike has been developing and running virtual tours, a completely new experience! What has this been like for a small business and local tour operator like us?
We didn’t really know what to expect, but we’ve been overwhelmed with the response. It has helped the company not only to survive difficult times but to thrive, and more importantly, it has enabled us to keep supporting local families and communities. Keep reading to find out more!
Super excited to now also be working with Context Travel and hosting virtual tours and seminar sessions!
