I was kind of forced into this trip. Turns out it is one of the most amazing experiences I had with my wonderful wife who planned out the whole trip.
Our guide, Rony, is great. We are the slower ones in the group. He always took care of us, made sure we were not left behind. He was ... Continue Reading

Muito bom!!!

Fazer a trilha Salkantay foi simplesmente sensacional. Conhecer pessoas de outros países, dividir os desafios da trilha, compartilhar as dificuldades foi muito gratificante.
A trilha é para todas as pessoas mas preparo físico é importante. O sorocho realmente vêm no segundo e terceiro dia por isso preparo físico e dois dias para aclimatar faz a viagem mais fácil. ... Continue Reading

Awesome Trek!

We had a great experience overall with Romiero and Inca Trail Reservations. Day one included a hike to a beautiful lake. The altitude was challenging for some people in our group, but it was not too difficult. Day two was beautiful! We started with a nice and challenging climb up to Mt. Salkantay. Everyone in our group was so fun ... Continue Reading

The Great Hike

On the first day we hiked up to the Glacier lake. It was stunning! So worth the difficult hike. On the second day we awoke quite early with tea and hot water sitting at the door of our tents. We had a nice breakfast and then started the hike. It was very exhausting, but well worth it once we reached ... Continue Reading

Raul is the man

This is my first time hiking around Cusco as well as my first time in Peru and I loved the entire experience. My guide, Raul, calmed every apprehension I had for my trek.
The number of different ecosystems we saw in just the five day hike was incredible. Equally incredible was Raul's ability to give interesting and informative ... Continue Reading

Trekking with Raul

My girlfriend and I did the Salkantay trek as we weren't organised enough to book ourselves on the Inca Trail. We were initially concerns that we might miss out, but our fears were completely unfounded.
From day 1 the scenery was incredible. We were very lucky to be trekking with a great group of people and hit the jackpot ... Continue Reading

Stinky Mountain Feet

Wildflowers, blue lagoons, Mountain Peaks speckled with dazzling snow. Horseman, fellow travelers and the Inka spirits also fill the air.
The Salkantay Trail was a wonderful experience, a once in a lifetime opportunity! Raul, our more than jolly guide, was amazing. The man is a hidden little gem of the Ande mountains with a boyish grin and a sense ... Continue Reading

HIKING THROUGH THE ANDES

The Salkantay trail was such an amazing time, 5 day treking with Juan Carlos was a joy, he as a guide was able to explain and show us the wonders of Inca culture, the people that joined us on the way like our horse man and our chefs were great.
The food we tried on the way was unforgetable, ... Continue Reading
