Authentic feedback and stories from travelers around the world who experienced Machu Picchu and Peru with our team.
Just finished a 5 day salkantey trek with Owen as my guide. The group of people were all very fun, tour was well organized, and Owen was a great host. I learned a lot about Peruvian history and Inca culture. Special thanks to Owen for the great hospitality.
Una bellissima esperienza e una vera sfida personale. Fisicamente la fatica più pesante si concentra tutta il primo giorno, mentre dal secondo in poi il passo diventa decisamente più gestibile. Una menzione d’onore alla guida Aurelio, preziosissimo per supporto tecnico e buonumore costante nei momenti più duri. Il cibo è stato eccezionale e abbondante dall'inizio alla fine. Sacco a pelo e bastoncini si possono noleggiare sul posto. Da portare assolutamente da soli invece sono repellente per insetti (fondamentale averlo dietro, anche se non abbiamo trovato invasioni ingestibili di zanzare), la propria carta igienica (non viene mai fornita) e contanti in Soles per extra come Wi-Fi e docce calde, che però spesso non funzionano o non sono disponibili.
La nota dolente sono gli alloggi, gestiti con standard discutibili. Se il primo e il terzo campo erano ottimi, il secondo è stato pessimo: capanne per nulla isolate dove entravano freddo e insetti, con una doccia calda a pagamento che passava dall'essere bollente all'essere congelata. L’ostello della quarta notte era semplicemente sporco e squallido.
Consiglio il trekking per la bellezza del percorso, ma siate pronti al disagio: non aspettatevi comodità e preparatevi a fare i conti con servizi scadenti per almeno metà delle notti.
Absolute great experience, with an awesome guide (Aurelio the GOAT), great food(everyday freshly prepared and lovingly and a supporting team that made this challenging track an unforgettable experience!
I'd like to give a feedback on the chosen accomodation - the second one was really not comfortable nor hygenic at all.
If this is changed, this is totally a 5 star experience!
Amazing experience with our great guide Aurelio!
Aurelio was a nice tour guide and was very helpful when I had a medical issue and had to be brought down in the middle of the trek. Great value for the money.
Every part of the trek was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide Ronny was the best we could have asked for, an amazing guide and even better company! The trek was filled with amazing views, activities, and accommodation - Thank you so much Ronny!
Had an amazing time on the salkantay trip! Aurelio our guide was fantastic and really helped us push through especially on the hard days. Isidro our chef made amazing food! Thank you to the whole team for the amazing experience
Very good guide, Aurelio. The chef Cidro did an amazing job. Only thing, the accomodations could have been cleaner.
Had an incredible experience on the 5 day Salkantay Trek with my best friend! Our tour guide Ronny was so knowledgeable and full of facts about the land, the history, and the flora and fauna. The journey was quite physically challenging, but the team was so wonderful and supportive and it was so worth the very sore body I left with. The food was delicious with multiple dishes at each meal. The accommodations were excellent with phenomenal views. We also added the zip lining and hot springs trips on day 3 and had a blast at both. Overall 10/10 experience!
We had a great time on this Salkantay trek with Machu Picchu reservations. Our tour guide Ronny was amazing, he made the trek a very enjoyable experience and was truly a fantastic tour leader. I could not have asked for a better tour guide for this trek.
