Chat on WhatsAppSalkantay trek was the most amazing experience of my life! I was overwhelmed with joy by the natural beauty and the opportunity to learn so much about Peru! Walking through so many different environments and micro-climates made me feel like I got a better sense of the country as a whole, rather than visiting cities alone. I loved the opportunity to stay in local areas like Challaway, practice Spanish on the trail, meet other hikers from around the world, and eat delicious Peruvian food! It is, without a doubt, A WELL-ROUNDED and life changing experience.
The discomfort that comes with being away from your home country was immediately eased by the professionalism, friendliness, knowledge, and preparedness of our guide, Lucho. He offered endless support, shared his plethora of knowledge regarding Peruvian culture, food, history, and landscape, and was so unbelievably kind and encouraging. I felt completely safe and cared for with him as our guide.
Our chef, Simon, deserves all the praise for the love and kindness he put into every meal. The food was SO delicious! He was so accommodating to the vegetarians in our group (myself included), and worked tirelessly to set up camp, prepare meals, and keep everything so clean.
I cannot give enough praise for this trip! I would recommend it 200% to anyone contemplating. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Muchas Gracias!!
