    Amazing adventure! Nos lo hemos pasado muy bien y hemos tenido todos los climas y tiempos: sol, calor, lluvia y nieve. El primer día caminamos hasta una laguna con un color maravilloso. El segundo día, que fue el más difícil en cuanto al caminar, fue el que más me gusto. Subimos a una altura de…

    Salkantay Trek

    I greatly enjoyed doing the Salkantay trek with Salkantay.org . The hiking was definitely challenging, but the guides, cooks, and support staff were very helpful. I definitely appreciated that the cooking and camp setup were handled by the staff. The first two days climbing up Salkantay are by far the most challenging and the most…
