The 5-day Salkantay Trek was an absolute highlight! The landscape – from the snow-covered Salkantay Pass to the deep jungle – is breathtaking, and the organization was first-class.
The best part of the entire tour was definitely our guide Nacho!
He made the five days something truly special. Nacho knows the mountains inside and out, ensures maximum safety, and has incredible knowledge of Inca culture. His energy and humor perfectly motivated the group even during the most challenging stages. Before long, it felt like you were traveling with a good friend.
Conclusion: Anyone doing the trek should definitely choose the 5-day option and specifically ask for Nacho as a guide! Absolute recommendation!
Traveler Reviews
Authentic feedback and stories from travelers around the world who experienced Machu Picchu and Peru with our team.
Omar a été un guide joyeux, souriant et chaleureux. Il s'adapte au rythme de tous et s'est assuré que tout se passait au mieux pendant le Salkantay trek.
Il s'est également arrangé pour que tout le monde puisse faire ce qu'ils voulaient (tyrolienne, atelier café...).
Les logements sont confortables et l'organisation est super !
I originally booked this tour because of the price, and the amazing lodges to stay at during the 4 day Salkantay trek. I was completely blown away at the experience, amazing organization by the Machu Picchu team, perfectly coordinated and everything handled, a warm multiple course meal ready as you finish walking and an amazing environment created by the guides. Our guide Omar was absolutely amazing, gave amazing insights into INCA history and personal experience and join in our all our group talks and jokes. Happy to have shared a meal with Omar at the table as he made the 4 days feel like I found a temporary little family during my trip. Thankyou Omar and Thankyou sexy puma familia
Had the best time with our guide Omar, he went above and beyond with his attentiveness making sure the experience was an amazing one.
Marco Antonio and the team made this the best experience we could ask for, so much happens behind the scenes to ensure everything runs smoothly, we are so thankful for the work they do and providing Marco is there we will come again!
This tour group thought of every detail: everything was better than I was hoping for (except for the actual hiking). Marco Antonio was the best tour guide we could have ever asked for. He made sure our group had positive energy, felt comfortable with every day, and that everyone was welcome and excited to partake. Thank you for all that you do!
Nous avons eu la chance de faire le Salkantay trek avec Edgar qui tout au long de cette aventure nous a soutenu et encouragé. L’expérience était très belle et petit plus pour la nourriture qui était bonne ! Je recommande !!
Genrri was an amazing guide! I did the Salkantay Trek with him, and he was incredibly passionate and shared so much great information throughout the trek. He never rushed me, was always so kind and motivating, and made the whole experience even better. He also brought such fun energy the entire time and kept everyone’s spirits up!
Genrri was such a good guide. He made the tour really worth it😁
Best ever tourist guide, Netson.
