Salkantay Trek
While the Inca Trail is deservedly one of the most famous in South America, the Salkantay Trek offers a wilder and perhaps more authentic approach to the Incas’ most famous monument. No trip to Peru can be considered complete without a visit to the mystical mountaintop ruins of Machu Picchu, but more intrepid travellers are now looking

Salkantay Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Salkantay
Well prepared Salkantay trek 5d/5n zone with Saul G as a guide and Gregorio as a chef and Cesar and Walter as porters. Good food all the way and amazing places to sleep such as the hobbit houses and the star gazing houses the very first night. Bonus was the lomo saltado cooking class and the visit of a coffee farm.
Did the 5D/5N Salkantay hike. Amazing crew and very well prepared! Edward did a great job as a tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable about the mountains and surrounding areas, the history and about Peru in general. Gregorio was an AMAZING cook. Half of the trip was the food honestly. Highly recommend them! Unforgettable views and overall experience. The challenge is super worth it! The porters Pablo and Henry also did heroic work carrying our stuff.
I had an incredible time on the 5 day/5 night Salkantay trek with Edward as a guide. The views on this hike are amazing, but the best part was truly our guide, Edward, and our chef, Gregorio. It was my birthday during the hike and they planned multiple birthday surprises. The views at the campsites are out of this world and the food was more than we could ever expect - I can’t understand how they managed to make such delicious meals while camping, and carrying around all the ingredients. Edward was so knowledgeable of Inca culture, history, and traditions, and was also great conversation along the way. He was incredibly responsible with all of us, made sure we were all comfortable and knew where we were going and what was going on. I can’t recommend this trek enough, and if you can get Edward, you’ll have a blast!
I had the most incredible Salkantay Trek with guides Joel and Saul G. It was so organized and adventurous and ran without any problems. Herman and his kitchen crew made the most amazing meals that were different every day and the porters were HEROES. I will absolutely recommend this tour company to anyone going to Peru in search of a fun experience.
We just finished our Salkantay trek and it was the most amazing experience. I can’t rave enough about this tour operator, so much thought and detail has gone into each trip, from small details like a hot water bottle at night when it was cold, warm water to soak our feet, to the most amazing meals and beautiful camp/ sleeping spots. Our guide Raul was seriously amazing!! He was so knowledgeable, easy and comfortable to spend the days with, he had us all laughing and was so thoughtful, considerate and kind. Raul was one of the main reasons our trip was so amazing and I can’t wait to bring my family and friends back. The scenery along this trek is unreal, the stops this trek make were perfection. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Best week ever!!
What a phenomenal experience on the Salkantay hike with this travel company I want to thank our guide Edward who was incredible on the whole trek, the porters Cesar, Jairo, David, Gabriel who were just super-humans! They were all so friendly and supportive throughout the whole trip. Our chef Sebastian was somehow conjuring 5* meals, three times a day to keep us going and it was always something to look forward too. I cried when I said goodbye and thanked them as I honestly don’t know if I could have made it without all their support. This company clearly takes care of its workers and it’s worth paying a bit more to book with them as they really do respect all their staff. So worth it and highly recommend!
