Overall this was a great trip. the first day is a warm up - hot but manageable with lots of breaks. the lake at the top of the hill is gorgeous, and worth the tough trek up.
The altitude the first couple of days makes it hard to breathe, even if you don't suffer from altitude sickness. the ... Continue Reading
This Trek is definitely worth doing. Quite varied landscapes, all of which are worth a photograph or ten. Our Guide was quite informative and seemed to know quite a bit about the local flora, fauna and trades.
The first Day is a good introductora training Day. A small way of incline and then it levels out for the rest ... Continue Reading

It was definitely a challenge since I had not expected the difficulty of the trek. But the whole group managed with support from the guide. ... Continue Reading

Much colder on night two but we were warned! Day three was the longest day but beautiful views so very worth ... Continue Reading

Before the trek I suggest some hiking experience. High altitude sickness really hit me. I do not recommend this trek for first time hikers. ... Continue Reading
Salkantay Trek was absolutely amazing. The day hiking over the pass was incredible and exceeded my expectations. It was very difficult but as long as I walked slowly I didn't get so winded and it was much easier than I thought it was going to be.
