Juan and Albero were amazing tour guides! We had the most spectacular five days throughout the Salkantey Trek. They were so helpful and Juan shared so much interesting history. The accommodations were extremely scenic and all of the activities were very fun. Abelardo was also a wonderful cook!

We had a fantastic experience with the Machu Picchu team, especially Juan and Albero. From start to finish, they were professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made our visit enjoyable, stress-free, and memorable by sharing fascinating information and ensuring everything was well organized.
Juan and Albero went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had the best possible experience. Their passion for the history and culture of Machu Picchu truly enhanced our trip. We highly recommend the Machu Picchu team and especially Juan and Albero to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Peru.
Also loved the chefs guys
Juan and albero are such amazing guides. They brought the fun to some really challenging days. The food was fantastic and the accommodation was beautiful. We had such a good time
We did the 4 day trek with Omar as our guide. He was fantastic and made sure we all had a great time. He went above and beyond to accomodate our varying dietary requirements and even organised a cake to celebrate my brother’s birthday on day 3. Our accomodations were incredibly nice and we were very well fed
We did the 5-day Salkantay Trek with Max and Gabriel. The trek itself was amazing, although at times harder than expected. The guides were honest about the level of difficulty during the trek, and made sure that everyone knew there were alternatives available when it may be needed (e.g. horses). The guides were very passionate about the history and culture of the country and the significance of our surroundings during the trip, which made the beautiful scenery feel even richer. Size and atmosphere of the groups was really nice, and all of the guides kept us informed, motivated and on track, while also giving plenty of space to enjoy the trek and free time to relax. There were a few surprises, as there were some requirements, fees, inflexibilities, etc that weren't communicated in advance and caused unnecessary stress at times. The biggest one being that you are expected to leave luggage in Cusco, and pack all equipment for the trek into a small-medium sized "Machu Picchu Team" duffel bag, and on the final day, all duffel bags are left at a cafe and you have to carry everything you will need for just the last night with you separately to Aguas Calientes and Machu Pichu (this created problems for people without tickets to MP and unsure how long they would stay there for). Also you will need to return to cusco after the trek to drop off their duffel bags and pickup your luggage. A few of us had planned to finish the trek without returning to Cusco and so this made plans very tricky, without any time to replan. Aside from those hiccups, we had a great experience and Max/Gabriel made it feel really special!
Magnífica experiencia. Aprendimos mucho sobre la cultura peruana y sobre las tradiciones con nuestro guía y amigo Marco Antonio. Definitivamente los 5 días de trek suponen un gran esfuerzo físico pero valen totalmente la pena.
Nous avons vécu une merveilleuse expérience avec Machu Picchu team. Nous avions un groupe extraordinaire et très diversifié, composé de personnes de 18 à 38 ans. Tout le monde s’entendait super bien et il n’y avait pratiquement aucune barrière de langue.
Notre guide, Hans, a été exceptionnel. Les guides sont toujours prêts à aider et super agréables en tout temps. Le staff est également très compétent. Un merci spécial au chef Diablo et à Michel le Cowboy, qui ont contribué à rendre l’expérience encore meilleure.
Les hébergements étaient très beaux et bien entretenus, mais ils ne sont pas isolés, donc il peut faire froid la nuit. Préparez-vous à toutes sortes de températures : certaines journées commencent dans le froid et se terminent dans la chaleur.
Les journées de marche sont longues, alors apportez de bons souliers ou des pansements pour les ampoules. Nous sommes loin d’être de grandes sportives et nous avons réussi toutes les journées sans difficulté.
