Absolutely incredible

I went on Salkantay Trek and the experience was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Edward was phenomenal throughout, answering all our questions and teaching us about the history, geography, nature and culture of that incredible place. I've never had a better tour guide anywhere I've been. The whole experience of Salkantay wouldn't have been possible without the amazing Chef Sebastian and our porters, Cesar, Jairo, David as well as our horseman Gabriel. Sebastian cooked the most incredible meals, we basically had a banquet for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The porters not only helped with all the cooking but also set up our campsite each night, making sure we were comfortable, safe and able to continue the trek each day. I will be recommending this tour company to everyone I know, and if you're traveling to the Cusco region I don't think there's a better company you could go with.

Well prepared

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.

Amazing crew and very well prepared!

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.

Had an incredible time

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!
