The five day, four night hike through the Andes to get up to Salcantay and eventually Machu Picchu was an amazing experience.
After the initial hike on day one you have the chance to take a dip in a glacial lake, which is a great shock to the system and to cool your muscles. They will tell you that ... Continue Reading
Hiking the Salkantay trek was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
It was one of the most physically demanding things that I have ever done, but the beautiful landscape was my motivation to keep going as the sights seems to get more and more beautiful as each mile past.
It seemed like every sight was ... Continue Reading
Truly a wonderful trip. I spent 2 days in Cusco, which. I would say is the absolute minimum amount of time you should spend to get acclimatize.
We had 2 guides with us who were really great. They made sure out group of 12 were all safe and happy. It is no small feat to organize 12 people on ... Continue Reading
I had a really great experience, the food and accommodations was top notch and the guides were friendly and informative. I liked learning about the local plants, animals and constellations - it added a lot to the experience. The glacier lake was very beautiful and the second day was quite difficult. I came with my mother who is fifty six ... Continue Reading

The trek was more difficult than I imagined it to be. But it was made memorable by my friends on the trek as well as the amazing guides - Marco, Paulo and Junior. They always ensured that all minute details needed to take care of every person in the trek were taken care of. Paulo told us a lot about ... Continue Reading
Everything was great; I only wish that I had trained more before hand. Highly recommend. The food was good throughout and the porters/guides were incredibly helpful throughout. Our group was large but there was a strong push toward a group dynamic which ultimately added to the experience.
Paul and Marco, the guides are great story tellers and there ... Continue Reading
I came to this trek with some fear and trepidation, knowing it was going to be a very difficult challenge and knowing that I had not trained for it !!.
I knew too that there would be amazingly beautiful views along the way and lots of interesting information to gain about the country of Peru, the people and their ... Continue Reading
Could not be done without guides and porters. Amazing adventure. Would have been easier 10 years ago but worth the pain :).
I climbed the stairway to heaven and found the god of the stairs. The scale of Machu Picchu is not possible realize in a photo. Three days of hiking including a peak of 14,000 feet seems silly ... Continue Reading
A Great adventure With Paul, Marco and Junior. 15 others were in our group from usa, India and norway.
The food was excellent, the people were wonderful, and the trail was phenomenal. I would recommend this excursion for anyone of any age. Being 46 myself, I can attest that while the trail is punishing, it can be accomplished ... Continue Reading
Paul marko and junior were amazing guides who filled you with so much confidence and knowledge.
Although the hike was more difficult than anticipated it was well worth it. Having wanted to do this since I was ten, it was everything that I dreamed of having made even better by the fantastic group and the guides. The food was ... Continue Reading
The hike was amazing. There were so many awesome sights around every corner whether it was the mountains, valleys, ruins, or just the good company along the way.
The guides were entertaining, the cooking was restaurant quality, and the history was alive as we hiked down the trail. I felt like a fairly in shape 29 year old when ... Continue Reading

Mackenzie was really the highlight of the hike. His song knowledge and ... Continue Reading
The hike was much tougher than I expected, but well worth it! Be prepared for hard hiking (LOTS of steps) as well as beautiful views.
You'll feel very accomplished once you walk through the Sun Gate and see Machu Picchu for the first time! Day one is fairly easy hiking. Day two, the tables turn and the hiking gets ... Continue Reading
The trip was overall very good and a lot of fun. Our guides and porters did a great job of taking care of us throughout the trip.
I found Junior in particular to be especially welcome, conversational, and good at keeping the trip moving. The only downside of the trip for me was the macchu Picchu day, where ... Continue Reading
