Traveler reviews
Salkantay
Great experience. Impeccable guide and organization.
Great team
These guys organized and cared for us amazingly. Had a perfect experience. Rody, edy and Victor are great guides and stayed back with us cuz we were the slowest in the group and struggled with the altitude. It was amazing and very worth the money.
Rich Macchu Picchu adventure
Very good organization, everything clear, good food, good people, nice places. The trek was doable for everyone, the guides were helpful. The train at the end was a sweet and awesome ending.
Trexperience- Salkantay 5 Days trek
I had an amazing experience with TreXperience on the Salkantay Trek. Everything was extremely well organized from start to finish. The briefing beforehand was clear and gave us confidence that everything was taken care of. It was incredible to see how all of our luggage and the entire mobile kitchen were transported through the mountains by mules. The amount of work the whole team put in every single day was impressive. Everyone worked incredibly hard to make sure we had the best possible experience. A special thank you to the chef Bacilio and his help who where absolutely fantastic. The food exceeded all expectations and was honestly some of the best food I had during my trip to Peru. Our guides Alex and David were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and genuinely cared about making this an unforgettable adventure. They went above and beyond to help us enjoy every moment and get the most out of the trek. The Salkantay Trek itself is breathtaking, with stunning landscapes and unforgettable views. Combined with the outstanding organization from TreXperience, it became an experience I’ll never forget. I highly recommend them to anyone considering this trek!
Salkantay hike to Machu Picchu
I had a great 4 days on the trail and saw some beautiful scenery and met some interesting and amazing people. Our guides Renato and Evans were great - very knowledgable, well organised and had a good sense of humour! The food was great and we were very well fed. Would recommend.
