Magnifique expérience que le Salkantay Trek ! Météo un peu compliqué mais super équipe de cuisine et transport des affaires avec les ânes ! Un tout grand merci à Juan notre guide qui est passionné et très bienveillant avec notre groupe. Un grand merci à lui ! Magnifique nature.

Attention toutefois à prendre un bonne équipement de pluie et de bonnes chaussures qui tiennent bien l’eau !

Ne pas sous estimer non plus l’acclamation à l’altitude !

Our Salkantay trek was a great experience ! We weren’t so lucky with the weather but we have amazing souvenirs. Our guide Juan was sensational and deaply passionate about the culture and the history of Peru. Food was excellent especially given the extreme conditions.
We think however that Matchu Pitchu Team could improves some aspects like : having some soap for bathrooms, having a cup of tea for the salkantay day, explane more the « technical » informations before the trek, and specify on the web site that we have to bring money for diferent kind of tips.
Thank you for this unforgetable experience, which we recommand !

Hice el salkantai treck de 5 días con Juan como guía.
La experiencia fue fantástica.
Juan trabaja de manera muy profesional, armó un grupo con gente de todas partes del mundo, nos mantuvo animados en los momentos más duros de caminata y nos transmito su conocimiento y amor por su país.
Mucho respeto y admiración por los que hacen posible la experiencia, cocineros y arrieros, que te esperan al final de cada día con buena comida caliente y lo necesario para poder descansar de la mejor manera.
Todo excelente. Altamente recomendable

The 5D/4N Salkantay Trek was a magnificent and unforgettable experience through the wild, alpine landscape at Lake Humanity over the Salkantay Pass and through the high jungle to Machu Picchu. Our cheerful guide, Aurelio, made the trek truly special, explaining his country and culture through numerous customs and stories!
The organization of the entire trek was superb, from the accommodations and the transport of our clothes by donkey to the fantastic food! There was always a delicious vegetarian option available. I highly recommend the Machu Picchu team and the Salkantay tour!

I did the salkantay 5 day/ 4 day trek and cannot recommend it enough. This was all down to our guide Owen! His positive energy from the start was unmatched and really inspired us even in the toughest of moments. He also made us feel super comfortable and helped us bond as a group instantly. As well as guiding us along the route he taught us about his culture- the Inca culture and captivated us during the rituals. We were all moved by the passion he has for this and his job. Everyone else in the team, including the chef and Sherpas made our experience unforgettable. Thank you Pacha Owen!

Lovely experience with Owen and the whole Machu Picchu Team. Can’t recommend enough!

Despite the weather, the 5 days Salkantay trek met our expectations with a lot of adventures. We had the best guide ever! Juan was so patient, kind and caring. Matcha Matcha Guys !!!

We did the 5-day salkantai hike, culminating in Machu Picchu.
All my appreciation and admiration for the work of both Guide Juan and the team of cooks and muleteers.
Juan as a guide created a group with people from all countries, kept us encouraged in the hardest moments of walking and shared his knowledge and love for his country.
About the food, 3 a day super abundant and rich, perfect to recover the energies expended.
Experience is highly recommended, instructions are clear and the organization is very good.

Would 1000000% recommend Owen and Machu Picchu team for the 5 day Salkantay Trek. We had no issues with our booking and Owen made our trip so special and so much fun. Can’t recommend more highly!

We, Dutch couple, mid-twenties, did the 5 day Salkantay. One word: wow. Great trip, fun group, even better guide. Owen is a legend. Please book with this guy, you will not regret it. You will be amazed by everything you do and see and he just makes an absolute unforgettable experience out of it.
