I did the 4-day trek and it was a fantastic experience.
Out tour guide Ronny is a true rockstar and combined extensive Inca and nature knowledge with a calm and present personality. The trek was highly enjoyable and I besides enjoying stunning views I learned a lot about native history and culture both present and historical.
I cannot recommend Ronny enough!
Traveler Reviews
Authentic feedback and stories from travelers around the world who experienced Machu Picchu and Peru with our team.
I did the 5 day 4 night Salkantay hike to Machu Picchu with Max as our tour guide.
The tour itself was amazing, beautiful views and very rewarding, if a little challenging - but well worth it.
Any problems we had were easily overcome by our friendly, positive, professional, proactive and bilingual tour guide Max.
I could go on for longer about how Max made an already great experience better but will run out of characters.
I would thoroughly recommend the trip just be aware that it is enduring, especially the early mornings long hikes and little time to recharge. But an amazing once in a lifetime experience!
I did the 5 day salkantay trek with a couple of friends and it was an amazing experience mainly because of our guide Max! He was so supportive and caring throughout the whole trip and even though it was challenging at times he made it much easier :) It was also a very educational trip and Max did a great job answering my many questions! Joel was our cook and did a fantastic job as well! Food was inclusive as I am vegetarian and it was very good! I will definitely be recommending this company and telling people about our fantastic guide for years to come :)!
My experience on this 4 day tour is amazing I have had a great time Ronny, the guide has made the whole group create a friendship. As for the road days they are very fun they usually make stops for Ronny to tell us some story about what we are seeing recommend
I recently went on the trek as a solo traveller and can safely say it was the best thing I’ve done on my trip. My tour guide Ronny really made the experience special as he made the group feel more like a family instead of a tour guide and tourists. His experience and knowledge about the culture and history of the tour really helped educate me on the region.
The food over the 4 days was also brilliant and was probably some of the best meals I’ve had on my trip.
Overall would definitely recommend!
Really had an unforgettable experience! With Max as tourguide who made us a close-knit group in no time and talked enthusiastically about the surroundings and the history of the Quechua tribe. Cook Joel also prepared plenty of food for us every day so we got through the day full of energy. Everything was perfectly put together and everyone was super helpful. Would definitely recommend to do the Salkantay trek with this organization!
We did the 5 day Salkantay trek and it was one of my favourite experiences of my trip! The trek was physically tough but with the support of our incredible guide Max, it was so enjoyable!! Max was astonishingly knowledgeable, able to answer any questions and point out millions of things along our hikes, incredibly kind and caring, looking after and motivating every hiker across age ranges in our group! He was the highlight of our tour!!! The accommodation along the way was beautiful, able to see the Milky Way from our domes/ huts every night. Our chef Joel made us some incredible meals, with plenty of food to fuel us for our long hikes. Could not recommend Machu Picchu team more, especially with our guide Max! Thank you:))
A little disappointed by the service. We had to be a group of 6/7 we ended up at 17. 1 st day very good hiking, we arrive in a campsite no shower (by the way no big deal when we do trecks we are used to) on the other hand very simple sleeping. We were in aunts not at all airtight we got very cold. Breakfast not phew....meal lunch and evening well. 2nd day super hike, here we arrive in another campsite more than mediocre. This time sanitary and shower but in a state of unsanitary nameless, even my husband had trouble going to the toilet .....when we had met young people who were traveling without guide and who paid half as much as us and very clean. 3 rd day after 10 km the guide decides to continue by car because some people say they don’t want to walk when we question each other we realize that everyone is unhappy and wanted to walk. There we arrive for lunch rather frustrated ... fortunately it was very good. The group splits in two, we go in the direction matchu pitccu so we walk 12 km... with a second guide very well. And the next day ascent of the matchu pitccu. Unforgettable.
In fact if you have a watch and you do not leave in high season, I advise you to do without a guide. Many people do it without. That way you do what you want and you won't be disappointed.
10/10 - highly recommend this company. We had the best time on the 5D4N Salkatay hike to Machu Pichu. Our guides, max and franko were incredible! They were so knowledgeable and helpful - nothing was too big of an ask. The food and the accommodation was also brilliant. We were fed really well and the accommodations were awesome with incredible views and comfortable camping style stays. We had an awesome group and felt like a family by the end of it. Thank you max and franko for the best trip ever!
It was a great trek! Especially thanks to our guide Omar, we were able to trek with peace of mind. The food from the chefs who accompanied us was also delicious.
Omar's varied local knowledge along the way made trekking and exploring Machu Picchu more enjoyable.
I really recommend trekking with Omar!!
