“Excellente”

Unbelievable experience. So good, it was my second time on the Inca Trail and visiting Machu Picchu. Gerson, our guide, knows so much about the Incas, each site, and Machu Picchu itself. Our porters were amazing, set up all our tents, gave us hot tea and clean water each morning, and fed us the most incredible food.
This is ... Continue Reading

Gerson for president

The four day hike to Machu Picchu exceeded my expectations and a traveler to the area would be doing themselves a disservice to visit the site without the hike. The company took great care of us: the food was amazing, the porters congenial and strong, and the guide knowledgeable and easy to get along with.
The best experience was ... Continue Reading

Awesome trek

I had a blast on this trip! The hiking was fantastic and the sights were unbelievable.
The first day was short but fun, and the optional hike up to the lake was completely worth it. The second day was one of the most challenging, but rewarding, days of my life. Reaching 4600 m at the pass was well worth ... Continue Reading

Worth the pain

As I write this, my legs and feet barely move but I don't need any time for reflection to know that the experience has been well worth the physical demands. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and an amazing opportunity to shut off the world, challenge yourself physically (and mentally!), and embrace new culture and history.
The trek was very scenic ... Continue Reading

Great challenge and experience for an outdoor adventure amateur

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Salkantay.org - Inca Trail Reservations, the Salkantay trail, and our guide, Lito. The trail itself is incredible, with breathtaking scenery from snow capped mountains to jungles. The tour itself was exceptionally well run. Our guide was well informed, spoke great English, and went above and beyond to make sure we ... Continue Reading

We’ll make it if He carries us

It was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a difficult trek, look elsewhere.
They carry your stuff and do almost everything you could want them to do. I'm 20 and backpack so it was quite easy, but for my dad who is in great shape for a 60-year-old, the trip was difficult due to the high altitude.
