Our three guides were amazing, they worked very hard to keep all 16 of us trekers happy and on schedule. They were very knowledgable…

On our five day, four night trek we traveled through glaciers, rolling plains, and rainforests in just a short time. Our guide, Ernie, did an excellent job of…

    great experience

    Being a first time hiker, I had no idea what was really getting myself into by doing the 5 day 4 night Salkantay Trek with Salkantay.Org . I came into the experience rather confident of my fitness, and thought that hiking would be a breeze. The first day kicked my you-know-what. I was completely exhausted.…
