Chat on WhatsAppThis Salkantay Trek was one of the best trips done while in Cusco, the people who go on the trip with you really make or break the trip.
The people I stayed with made this trek from one of the most tedious soul shattering journeys I've ever taken to become the most humorous, exciting and comforting treks to this date. The guides are humorous and will take a literal bullet for you while you are on the trek. I got very bad altitude sickness while on the tour and the guides did everything they could to help me, from offering to carry my bags to preparing special meals to help me get better.
The food here is brilliantly flavorful and artistically presented and the cook and horsemen are really nice. My only points of criticism are that this trek definitely isn't the cheapest one available and the tents can become quite crowded with the small space inside, but in my response these small issues didn't deter from how fun the journey was.
A big tip for the journey is bring really warm clothes for the first two days and lightweight semi-warm clothes for the rest, the climate can change in a flip of a hat!
