Incredible experience

We have just returned from the four day Inca Trail trek and it was the experience of a lifetime. The trip organized by Inca Trail Reservations is brilliant and I would highly recommend it. The service we received all along the trail was second to none. Everyone from the guides to the cook to the porters did all that they ... Continue Reading

Beautiful trek

I just completed the 5 day Salkantay trek with Carlos and Marco, and it was wonderful. I have spent a few weeks in South America and it has been a highlight of my trip! The trek was absolutely beautiful and very rewarding.
Carlos was a passionate, motivating, and enthusiastic guide. I really enjoyed learning about the Inca culture ... Continue Reading

Machu Picchu mission

Oh my gosh this trek was one of the most amazing decisions I have made! The views are spectacular and make every uphill effort worth it. The food far surpassed all of my expectations. Personally, I don't eat dairy and every meal (and there were courses) had something scrumptious I could eat!
One of my favorite parts was ... Continue Reading

Salkantay 5d4n

The Salkantay experience was a very positive one. The hiking was tough, walking almost 50 - 60 km over four days. But it would have been tougher if we had to carry our tents as well as cooking supplies. All these were carried by horses and all we had to carry were our personal items. The food was great! We ...

Salkantay

I've been to many mountains before so I knew I was a little weak when it comes to high altitudes. However, the guides were super helpful so it turned out that I didn't need to worry about lagging behind the group at all.
Every meal up in the mountains were simply amazing, came in three courses and different ... Continue Reading

The first day was a little tough on us because we didn't quite know how to pace ourselves in such a high altitude. My mom and my sister were fine, but I suffered a little altitude sickness because unlike my mother ... Continue Reading

I highly recommend it

This trek was truly an amazing experience! It was a great opportunity to really experience the majesty of the Andes mountains. I traveled to Peru alone, however from the time of booking, the folks at Salkantay.org were always helpful and communicative, even though I was in the states.
When I arrived, Carlos and Martin made sure to keep ... Continue Reading
