Absolutely amazing is all I can say. The hike was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it was so worth it. Our guides made sure that we had the best overall experience and I would recommend G adventures to everyone! The scenic views throughout the hike were absolutely breathtaking. The food was really good and we had no issues with our accommodations or travel. Thanks again to all the wonderful staff at G adventures that were with us throughout our Journey!
Fantastic experience! Well planned, organised and executed. Everyone from the G team were friendly and kind and welcoming.
Exhilarating, educational, testing and mind-expanding. A real joy!
G adventures is very organized organization and if you want to be impressed by local and even remote culture of Highlanders in the Andes, this is top notch. Again, this tour was largely made by our tour guide Leo. He was phenomenal for us, and for me personally.
Amazing experience that I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to trek to Machu Picchu and explore the Salkantay glacier.
