Salkantay Tours in August 2026

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!

We just finished our 5D/5N hike on the Salkantay trail with our fabulous guide, Ivan and our amazing cooking team, Alberto, Luisa, and Waldir. Our week on the trail has been a beautiful experience that our family will always remember! The Andean mountains are incredible! Our guide, Ivan, was very knowledgeable and kind and patient! He taught us so much about Incan culture and history and local flora and fauna. He took wonderful care of our family! We also feel so grateful for the incredible food prepared each meal by our chefs and for the kindness of our porters and horsemen. We love this local travel expert!

Loved the Salkantay trek and the team that accompanied us was amazing. Our guide was so kind and knowledgeable, food was great and the horsemen carried all our equipment.

Can’t say enough about how great Vidal was and how lucky we were in getting him as our guide. Also, Victor was our cook and he was amazing. I’ve never had such great food and definitely didn’t expect it on a trek like this. He could make something out of nothing. We definitely ate like kings on the trek - super natural and healthy! Definitely top of the list vacations. Thanks so much!!

We came away from this trip with a much better understanding of not only Machu Picchu, but Incan culture and the history of the region. All thanks to our kind and very smart guide, who took such good care of us over these 5 days. I would recommend this tour operator in a heartbeat, I have no complaints at all.

What an amazing trip, totally beyond our expectations. The tour was awesome and the views were beautiful. Our guide was fantastic, always supportive and encouraging everybody. He had an impressive knowledge about the Inca culture and the history. Food was delicious and all the team was very kind and professional. We highly recommend this tour and a big thanks to the crew.
