  • Salkantay

    I booked the trip with Salkantay.org . I did not know what to expect. Before the trip I got a short information about the trip. The next day the trip started at 6.30 am. A reasonable time for me. We went to a little town almost at our starting. The breakfast was good. Afterwards we…

  • Salkantay 5 day trail

    Our family hiked this trial in August 2014. In a word: Awesome. We arrived in Cusco and was thoroughly briefed on what we were to bring and also what we should expect. One very important thing to remember is layers of clothing is a must have, as the temperatures vary from cold to hot. Rain…

  • Wonderful tour

    We traveled to Peru with our two children (ages 11 & 14) to complete the Salkantay Trek in August 2014. The guides were wonderful and the food was great! Our bags were transported from campsite to campsite by horses and always arrived on time and in excellent condition. The weather was perfect and we met…

  • Trekking with my family

    I\’m 11 and I went to Peru with my family in the year of 2014. I had a great time on the trail! Definitely a different experience for me. The food was great and the cooks went out of their way to cook me gluten free food! The people were so nice and were trying…

  • Salkantay trail 5 days

    Really good surroundings, beautiful views but don\’t forget it isn\’t easy hike. You have to come well prepared and have the motivation to hike for approximately 80 km. The tour guides are professional and fun, they try to enlighten you with nice insights on the nature but most of all on what the Incas are…

  • Vacation in Peru

    We had a great vacation with our family in August. Our children are 14 and 11 years old and they did well but it is a very strenuous adventure. You need to be in excellent shape. Victor and Marco were both terrific and really interacted and energized our team. The food was good and we…

  • Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu

    I had a great time doing the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu with Inca Trail Reservations / Salkantay.org. The orientation in Cusco before the trek was very helpful — Victor (one of the guides) answered all our questions and allayed our fears. The trek itself was beautiful and very well organized. The best part of…

  • Salkantay Trek

    The whole trek and camping experience was truly magical. I definitely would not have been able to see or do the things I did without this tour group. Let me give you a few reasons why: The first night we stayed at a beautiful campsite in the mountains, run by a Peruvian family, with beautiful…

  • Salkantay Trek

    I highly recommend the Salkantay Trek! While my friends have been planning their trip to Peru for over six months, I was a last minute addition to the group. With just two weeks to mentally and physically (I run each day but never long distances) prepare for the trek, I was incredibly anxious; however, from…
