We love having very special moments with our visitors, so enjoying our last dinner with the porters and cooks will be very interesting.

It is a tradition on the Inca Trail to organize a small ceremony during this last dinner and once again introduce the whole team of porters to the tourists and thank them for the work done (if you want to say a few words of thanks or give them some advice, then you can use this moment to do it).
