Freezing first night followed by an amazing trip
Mules, amazing views and some cold nights – if I had just three words to describe our trek those would be my first choice. But of course there was much more to it: cheery guides Paul and Marco waking us up with a fun \”waky waky\” and a hot coca tea made the start to…

You little Ronnie Coote… You little beauty !
Bloody outstanding. Paul, our guide was a fair dinkum larrikin. He could spin a great yarn and kept all us folk giggling like schoolgirls for 5 days. Day 1 hike was pretty laid back until we got to camp after a few hours of leisurely trekking and meeting new mates. Then we did the optional…

Trekking away
Wow ! … What a great but hard trek. It was very challenging but the guides were very understanding. The first day there is a long trip by bus, which in its own, was interesting. The sights you see while traveling to the first check point of the trek was brilliant. Humantay lake was breathtaking…

Leg aching, ball aching, amazing trek !
The trek has pushed me from my highest to my lowest and back, stronger. Loved every minute of it but wouldn\’t do it again soon as it pushes you very hard but you come out the other side victorious and smiling ! Amazing sights and landscapes, great pictures and feel very proud to have achieved…

A dream come true
I had dreamed for many years about visiting Machu Picchu. My daughter had visited a few years ago and had suggested doing the Salkantay tour. My traveling partner / friend decided to book with Inca Trail Reservations – Salkantay.org and from the beginning we knew we had made the right choice. Ruth helped us out…

Hike to Machupicchu
I thoroughly enjoyed trekking with Inca Trail Reservations – Salkantay.org. The trail was spectacular, the group was amazing, the guide was well informed and very personable, the food was good (though more vegetables and fruit would have been appreciated, less rice). The sleeping arrangements were very comfortable, mind you I would have appreciated a thicker…
