We did the 5 day / 4 night trek with Zugar Rey as our guide. It was the best tour we have done in the whole of our trip around South America!!! We saw amazing sights, ate delicious food (thanks to the chef Willy), and walked together across the 5 days. The accommodations exceeded expectations massively too (sky domes twice and private rooms each night!). Cannot recommend this company enough. Special shoutout too to the horseman Oscar who kindly helped transport our bags each day. Thank you!!

We had an overall really nice experience with our guide Vily during our four day Salkantay trek. He is a very charismatic guide and you feel he cares deeply about everyone’s experience in the group.
The cooks and food they made for us all the time was also a huge highlight to the whole experience, much more variety than I’d expected.
There were many little nice things throughout the tour, like coca tea in the mornings, the coffee tasting, and a lot of interesting stories throughout the trekking from our guide.
One small problem for us was the miscommunication about luggage. As it turns out, on day 3 you need to leave your luggage in the afternoon for the next ~ 30 hours if you take a bus back to Cusco after Macchu Picchu on day 4, we wished we would have known this earlier on and gotten a bigger daypack for the trip.
Overall we really enjoyed the journey and were happy to have Vily as our guide, would recommend!

If you're like most people going to Cusco, the first thing you want to do is Machu Picchu and there is no better way to do it than with the Machu Pichu team via the Salkantay Trek.

I did the 4D/3N with Max & Victor and I had the most amazing time ever. Max was our lead tour guide and was knowledgable, funny, professional, and had great camaraderie. Victor was an amazing tour guide as well. He always made sure we stayed on track with time by leading the pack during our hiking. He told me he was a marathon runner and that's exactly the person you would want by your side leading you through the Salkantay Trek.

The Machu Picchu team exceeded all expectations with their breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings and our entire group was pleasantly surprised each course. It was personally what I looked forward to the most after a long day of hiking.

If your considering doing the Salkantay Trek, I recommend doing it with Max & Victor with the Machu Picchu Team. It was the highlight of my vacation and I wish I would have done the 5D/4N !

I mean this when I say this - look no further, this is the best trekking group in all of Cusco!!

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

Surely my peak time in Peru with this 5 days of trekking. But it wouldn’t be without the legend, Owen, our 25 y.o guide who has the double of its age in experience.

It was an amazing trip. We had a great time and everything was very well organised. Carlos was a great guide and we had an amazing time from the start of the hike till the visit of Machu Picchu.
