1. Exclusive Sky Star Domes
On selected Salkantay Trek programs, you can spend the night in our Sky Star Domes, surrounded by mountains and nature. Their transparent design offers panoramic views and allows you to enjoy the Andean sky from the comfort of your accommodation.
2. Unique Campsites Operated by Our Own Team
We operate distinctive campsites along selected trekking routes, including our camp at Quiswarniyoc. Managing our own facilities gives us greater control over cleanliness, accommodation, meals, organization, and the overall quality of your experience.
3. Free Machu Picchu Team T-Shirt
Travelers joining selected multi-day tours receive a complimentary Machu Picchu Team T-shirt as a souvenir of their adventure in Peru. It is a practical gift and a special memory of your journey with our local team.
4. Direct Local Tour Operator from Cusco
Machu Picchu Team is a 100% Cusco-based tour operator. We directly organize our tours with local guides, cooks, drivers, muleteers, boat operators, accommodation staff, and operations coordinators, avoiding unnecessary intermediaries.
5. Our Own Zipline Experience in Lucmabamba
On selected Salkantay and Inca Jungle programs, travelers can add an exciting zipline experience in Lucmabamba. Operating this activity directly helps us maintain better coordination, safety standards, equipment control, and communication with our passengers.
6. Delicious and Varied Meals
Food is an important part of every adventure. Our trekking and Amazon teams prepare fresh, generous, and varied meals designed to provide the energy needed for each day. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other special dietary options are available upon prior request.

Our tours are led by experienced bilingual guides who speak English and Spanish. They provide clear explanations about local history, archaeology, culture, wildlife, geography, and Andean traditions while assisting you throughout the journey.
8. Small Groups and Personal Assistance
We keep our groups limited whenever possible to provide better organization, easier communication, and closer assistance. Smaller groups also give travelers more opportunities to ask questions, take photographs, and enjoy each destination at a comfortable pace.
9. Complete Organization and Reliable Support
Our operations team coordinates transportation, accommodation, entrance tickets, meals, equipment, luggage transfers, guides, cooks, drivers, horses, and boats according to the selected tour. We also provide pre-tour briefings and assistance before, during, and after your experience.

We offer competitive and transparent prices while including valuable services that may cost extra with other companies. Depending on the program, these benefits may include exclusive campsites, Sky Star Domes, meals, luggage transportation, safety equipment, free storage in Cusco, complimentary T-shirts, and direct operational support.
