Such a great trek to Machu Picchu! The scenery of the snow-capped montains is spectacular and finishing the trek with Machu Picchu was unbelievable. The team was great, very nice! I definitely recommend this trip.
What a beautiful adventure among the Andean mountains. The scenery is breathtaking and the trek is worth it. Our guide was amazing and passionate about the Inca ruins and the nature. Food and the tents were great.
Great trek among the Andean mountains with a wonderful day in Machu Picchu. Highly recommended.
Awesome. We loved this salkantay trek and even more thanks to our incredible guide. Definitely recommend this trek.
Came back from the Salkantay trek with amazing memories, the trip was excellent from the beginning to finish. The hikes were great and we recommend at least two days of acclimatization if you really enjoy the trek. Our guide was incredible and attentive, he was always taking care of everybody. We are also grateful to the cook and the horsemen for the great food and carrying all the equipment. Don't miss this trek, it is worth it.
