    Llama havin laugh

    Overall very impressed with the trek. Lizandro, was very knowledgeable and kind, staying with the group (or me as I was a little slow). The group size was good, not too many, and not too few, a nice balance of people, of varying levels of ability, but at no point did I feel I was…

    Brilliant trek, recommend it to anyone!

    Lizandro was a brilliant guide! He was patient, and fun, made light of any situation, especially when we were struggling. He let us go at our own pace, and hung back with us if we needed a rest. The hot springs were lovely, and relaxing. The trek itself was beautiful, tough at times but an…

    Salkantayyy

    The Salkantay trek was amazing, we walked really close to glaciers (although we didn´t climb them), lakes and inside the peruvian selva. Though quite tireing the views were really breathtakling, so I would suggest everybody to do this trek to Mach Picchu! Also the guide and the cook were great, we always ate so much…

    We walked

    We walked, we sweated, we walked some more, we slept sort of, and then we walked some more. We saw beautiful places with expert interpretation by our guide. The food was amazing and never left me empty, which was good because we then walked more. Overall the experience was not the typical cookie cutter guided…

    Overall I really enjoyed the whole experience of going on Salkantay Trek and visiting Machu Picchu with The Inca Trail Company. Our guide Ramiro was a good guide, he knew lots about the trek and was able to show us a bunch or really neat things and share funny stories along the trail. The Salkantay…
