The views, people, archeological site, service and of course machu picchu, were absolutely amazing. The service provided by the porters and our guide Raul were top notch. The porters were always on time and the food was…

Incaredible experience
I approached KM82 with trepidation. Was I fit enough? Will my arthritic knee survive those Inca stairs that seem to go on forever in the pictures posted by smug bloggers? Will I collapse from blinding headaches at 4,000 m from altitude sickness? Day 1 was a breeze. Day 2 crossing Dead Woman\’s Pass and descending…

Machu Pisco…hic
This was a challenging journey. What kept me going was the enchanting ecosystem of the Andes. The sounds, flowers, moss, mist was ethereal. Our guide, Raul encouraged us gently along the way. The porters carrying mammoths on their backs, smiled as they passed us and set up camp and delicious meals by the time the…

Mastering Quechua
Overall the trip was very good! The first two days were a bit rough, since they involved hiking at a high altitude coupled with low temperatures. Nevertheless, it was the experience of a lifetime! Furthermore, the trip involved a diverse set of landscapes, ranging from mountains with snow to the Amazon rainforest. This is particularly…

Tales of a Traveling Tongue Twister
I can easily and happily say that traveling the Salkantay Trail was one of the best guided trips I have taken (and I have traveled to twenty eight countries and taken many guided tours). The landscapes and sights were breathtaking (as was the high altitude hiking, as was expected), the guide and staff exceeded my…

From the mountains to the forest
This was my first time of trekking and I really enjoyed it. Doing the Salkantay trek was an amazing experience that I would definitely recommend. Everyone was really helpful from the bus that picked us up from the airport and dropped us at home to the staff throughout the trek and of course our guide,…
