Classic Salkantay Trek 4-Day Adventure

We had a wondeful trip with Fernando and Eric from June 28th to July 1st. We were with our 4 teenagers. The whole family enjoyed it. The guides energy and knowledge ut us in confidence. The food was just amazing. The organization was perfect.

The 4 Day Salkantay trek with Royer as our guide was one of the best experiences of my life. The sights were absolutely stunning and the logistics of the trek was phenomenal. Our guide Royer made the experience the most fun, informative, and worthwhile. He taught us so much about local Peruvian & Quechua culture, he kept us thoroughly informed on each days itinerary/preparations, and also helped us source some missing equipment as well. He was super attentive to making sure everyone was feeling well at all points of our trek and was able to accommodate and adjust to the exact needs of our group. I think Royer was a major contributing factor of why our entire group got along so well and had so much fun. Our group had 6 people and I think that was the perfect size. The 4 day trek felt like the optimal length to me. The trek logistics was very impressive and very comfortable. Chef Beltran and the food service was phenomenal. We were served full local feasts for every meal and no detail was spared. Marshmallows & pop corn by the camp fire, tea in the mornings, delicious huge meals in the mountains. The entire culinary experience high exceeded expectations. This trip was like nothing I had experienced and was the most phenomenal time.

This is a fantastic trekking company. Everything from start to finish was so well organised and I would have no hesitation in recommending them for anyone looking to experience the Salkantay trek. The guides, Alex and Luis-Miguel, are amazing and I can't thank then enough for their help in getting me through when I was unwell during the trip. They really thought of everything in making sure our group had a brilliant experience.

This was a great experience. Alex and Luis, our tour guides, were amazing. They helped everyone maximize their experience on the trip, no matter skill level or level of altitude sickness. They accommodated everyone the best they could and made sure everyone got to camp each night. The group size (10) was just right, small enough to get to know everyone but big enough to make new friends. The chefs and porters were great, they deserve so much credit for all that they did to make our trip enjoyable. The food was great and they really took pride in what they did.

I chose Trexperience 4 day-inca for the daily showers amenity afters having a difficult time deciding between the local operators as there is very little info distinguishing them. Now what i would recommend for future Inca trail hikers is to look at review for the guides. Our guide Roger was always pacing us so we wouldn't get tired, took photos with his own phone for us so we could be more immersed in the experience, and really felt like a family member holding my sons hand for entire hikes to keep him safe. Also he had some wonderful Pervuian stories told to us during dinner. My son still wears the bracelet Roger made out of grass. As we went on the private tour we were also afforded two extra tour guides Rosa and Roberto. Both helped us pace and had friendly chit chat and were there to help when we didn't need to hold our hiking sticks. Before camp each day Roger would walkie talkie to Alejandro our chef before getting to camp. We loved his soups and want the recipe, but haven't gotten it yet unfortunately. Tried many loma saltados during our stay, his was my favorite because of how simple and home-style it tasted. One note to potential Inca Trail hikers out there is to make sure you have tip(much deserved) prepared. It was bit of work and caused some anxiety to figure out how much to tip last minute. Ask the tour agency how many people will be supporting so you are ready with the recommended amount for each. There was a family staying at the same hotel also going on a tour with Alpaca and they were frantic at the atm as well.
