Traveler reviews
Best trip ever
Best trip, was brutally amazing, everyday was challenging and views were stunning. Guides pushed us beyond where we thought we could do, and supported us through each challenge. Juan Carlos was the best guide , great knowledge of history and plants. Elias our other guide was also very educated in plants, archeologist sites and history. Both were so much fun and happy to such great guides that I will consider friends onward. The food was unbelievable , even with my allergies they made everything tasty, flavours were great.
Fantastic Experience!
The Premium Salkantay 5-Day Trek was an outstanding experience and one we’ll never forget. The entire trip was well organized, communication was excellent from start to finish, and every day was packed with amazing experiences. A huge thank you to our guide, Ricardo, who was the highlight of the trip. He was fun, knowledgeable, and professional, sharing so much about Peru, Inca history, and the local flora and fauna while keeping everyone laughing along the way. Our chef, Urbano, absolutely blew us away. My wife and I are vegetarians, and he surprised us with creative, delicious meals every single day. A big thanks as well to our horseman, Milo, who worked hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. We highly recommend this trek to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Peru.
One of a kind experience!
Such an amazing experience. Carlos Navarre was a notch guide who took care of all the details for us. Challenging but well worth the effort to see such a viewpoint of the glaciers, the jungle and of course Machu Picchu! Highly recommend
