Traveler reviews
Well worth doing the salkantay
Very good experience well worth it. Filio, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful along the way. The food was fantastic the chef, Ismail, did a great job especially with one of us being vegetarian, food was specially provided as a result. Views along the way were amazing in particular the 4th night waking up to Machu Picchu made it even more special.
Amazing Experience
We did the Salkantay 5 Day Trek in July with TreXperience and it was amazing. The guides (Edy, Rody and Viktor) were fantastic, the organization of the whole trip was perfect, the camp sites were great and last but not least the food cooked by Ishmael and his team was amazing. I never thought I would eat so well on a Trek through nature. Overall one of the best experiences in Peru.
5 Day Salkantay Trek
Was worth every euro! We paid around 565€ for 5 Days. Our Guide William was such a great guy. He organised everything very well. He was professional, but funny. He told us enough informations about the hike and could predict the time schedule very exact. The food from our two chefs Zenobio and Jamie was awesome. I would never expect food like this on a hike like this. Wow! Such a variety of food. Unbelievable. Our Horseman Louis did a great job. He was perfectly on time. Everybody in the team was spreading good vibes and a great atmosphere. The hike was beautyful. Its possible for everybody with a normal fitness level. Just the altitude made some problems. So I would recommend to stay some days in Cusco before starting the hike. We saw mountains with snow, jungle and great landscapes. I would definitely recommend the hike and for sure our guide William!
Great experience!

Sankaltay trekking
This was my first trekking, I was very worried at first, the altitude height, the long hikes etc but my tour was great overall. The team members were easy going, the tour guide was knowledgeable. He talked about a lot of history and stories of Inca time, he hiked very well even though we all were in different levels, he made sure each of us were taking care and not got lost. I really enjoyed. The chefs and all other porters were also so good, it is not an easy job but I think they are all very professional in their roles, I highly recommend.
