    Salkantay trek

    This adventure was a fantastic life experience. Overall I was greatly satisfied with the experience (and we haven\’t yet made it to Machu Picchu!) Some suggestions and observations. 1) Tipping – it would be very helpful to make the tipping expectations known ahead of time. I travel on a budget and did not realize how…

    Amazing trek

    This trek was amazing. My guides, Victor and Hilton, were very nice and took care of me even when I got altitude sickness on the second day. This trek is much better than the Inca Trail because you need to have an adventurous mindset to make it. The second day that takes you to the…

    Salkantay

    I had a fantastic time on this trek. The hiking was challenging, but Carlos was accommodating and helpful for those of us who are slower hikers. He helped us all move along at the rate we needed to hike without making us feel rushed. He encouraged everyone to hike at his or her own pace…

    Salkantay trek

    This was an overall amazing experience. The trek was well paced because the first day helped me warm up for the hiking in the days to come and the second day was by far the hardest. After that, the following days still involved a lot of walking, but the walks were much easier. The campsites…

    Salkantay Trek

    We have just arrived back from a fantastic 5 day Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. Our tour guide, Carlos, made the adventure exciting and fun. There are some really challenging parts of the trek (especially for someone who has never trekked anywhere before!), but Carlos enthusiasm and encouragement made it so much easier. Machu Picchu…

Also when it transpired that our Machu Picchu entrance had been booked for 2 months later (August not June!) he went out…

    Salkantay Trek

    Great trekking experience! The trip was well-planned and they guide gives lots of information in the pre-trip meeting (they tell you exactly what you need to pack, what you\’ll need each day, etc.) There was more than enough food at each meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner) but if you are a hungry hiker, bring extra snacks…

    Inca Trail 4d and 3n

    We had an excellent time, the food was amazing and the service was the best possible. Manuel and Janet took care of our every need. When my bag broke, Manuel made it got fixed for me right away. The trail was tough and we could not have enjoyed it without our awesome guides. The sights…

    Inca Trail 4 days & 3 nights

    This trip was amazing! Our guides and porters took such great care of us. It was so neat to stay at someone\’s home in one of the villages along the trail. Thankfully a local guy agreed to join us and carry our bags the 2nd day. Thank God because I got sick from the altitude…
