We had the best experience on the Salkantay trek with our guide Aurelio. Everything was seamlessly organised. Accomodation was impressive for the price. Each day the chefs blew us away with delicious meals. Highly recommend!
Traveler Reviews
Authentic feedback and stories from travelers around the world who experienced Machu Picchu and Peru with our team.
Do not book with the supposed agency Machupicchu Team 🚫🚫🚫They are scammers and liars. My dream trip with my friends was ruined, before traveling, Lisbeth (Machupicchu Reservations) and David (Machupicchu Team) were emailing us saying everything was operating normally. However, when we arrived in Cusco and went to their offices, they gave us no clear answers and kept blaming each other, which created even more confusion and uncertainty. We decided not to continue with them, even though some of my friends had already received tickets with partial refunds, which made the situation even more concerning. In the end, we booked with another agency at the same price, where everything was clear and professional from the beginning.
During the trip, we also met a guide who had previously worked with these companies. He told us that the manager of Machupicchu Team, David, has been promising payments to workers such as guides, muleteers, cooks, and porters. This situation shows a complete lack of responsibility and professionalism. They should fulfill their commitments, both to their clients and to the workers who gave their effort to the company. Based on this experience, I strongly recommend being very careful, verifying everything before booking, and choosing agencies that are truly and transparent
Super expérience avec Machu Picchu Team. Organisation fluide, bons repas et bonne ambiance tout au long du trek. Les guides étaient pros et sympas, et les paysages du Salkantay valent vraiment le coup malgré la pluie hihi. Je recommande sans hésiter!
Marco Antonio and Franco gave us the most incredible Salkantay experience. Their professionalism and knowledge as guides was matched by their affection and investment with the group dynamic. This has been one of the best experiences of my life, and I would wholeheartedly recommend the 5 day Salkantay trek with this company to anyone. Gracias Marco Antonio and
Franco!
De 4N5D Salkantay trek was top!! Onze guides Genri en Julio waren super aardig, grappig en professioneel. Ik raad het enorm aan om de vijfdaagse trek te doen, omdat je dan de kans hebt om naar de hotsprings te gaan en daarna een leuk feestje bij te wonen. Dit was super gezellig met zowel de guides als de andere groepen die de trek deden. Ik raad het enorm aan!
Super toffe 5D4N Salkantay trek gedaan met Genrri, onwijs genoten ondanks de regen van de prachtige tocht en mooie verblijven. En dag 5 machu picchu met volle zon mogen bewonderen. Top organisatie, zeker aan te raden. Dank aan Genrri nogmaals :)
We have just completed the Salkantay Trek 3days 2nights. We have had the best time ever! It was so fun and we wished we booked to do the longer one just because we were enjoying it that much. Omar was our guide and he was absolutely brilliant, so knowledgeable, fun and kind. He was such great support when the hike got a bit tricky. He always went the extra mile and even got me a cake as it was my birthday during the trek! We joined with the 4day group for some of the time so was with their guide Vily for two of the days as well. He was amazing too, and just like Omar knows so much about Machu Picchu and the hike (plants, animals, history etc.) We had the best time with Machu Picchu team and couldn’t recommend enough. Omar and Vily really made it something special so we can’t thank them enough!
The 4 day salkantay trek was amazing. Good combination of hiking in different enviroments and getting cultural information from the guides.
Our guide Carlos was great, with alot of knowledge and good humor.
We had an absolutely amazing 5-day tour with our guide Hans!! Thank you so much for showing us the journey from Cusco to Machu Picchu through your eyes and explaining everything along the way — you made the entire trip something truly unique, not just another tour that people simply go through!
Everything ran smoothly and we had so much fun! From the mountains to the jungle of Peru — from snow in the mountains to hot springs deep in the jungle. Truly an experience worth having!
Don’t expect the highest level of material luxury — there’s simply no place for that in the jungle. Just enjoy the time, and it will definitely be unforgettable!
A big thank you to the Machu Picchu team!
Dear Hans — thank you for the amazing and unique tour!
Thank you, Wilfredo, for the really, really great food — especially the excellent vegetarian meals!
Thank you, Florentine — our horseman! Without you and your horses, we definitely wouldn’t have made it over the mountain with our luggage.
Thanks to the entire team — you were always there for us. Thank you so much 🙏
Best regards,

We did the Salkantay 4D/3N Trip and it was a blast. The trek is amazing, a bit though but all worth it.
We traveled in a total group of 10 and had tons of fun together.
The food that had been served was amazing and the campsites were also really good.
Our Guide Carlos added so much fun to the experience and we always felt being taken care of.
10/10 would recommend
