Salkantay Trekking Arvostelua 

We have been very lucky to do many tours around the world and have to say this was the best elevated by an absolutely outstanding guide Hermo. We chatted to other groups doing the same trip and they all told us how lucky we were to have clearly the best guide. He was very patient with slower members of the group and his knowledge of history and nature was exceptional. He spent time with all members of the group and we felt we left him as a friend. When we arrived at sites he gave us a thorough tour whereas other groups had to go round on their own.
All other aspects of the tour were superb from communication before, to hard working friendly porters and special mention to the chef who we could not believe could make such sensational food in the mountains. We couldn’t rate this tour more highly.

We are so glad we did this trek! Communication was excellent from start to finish, our transportation was safe and comfortable, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun! The scenery all along this trek is absolutely breathtaking, and I am not talking about the rise in elevation! There are some steep, rocky, and slippery places on the descent, so definitely recommend using poles. The snack and lunch provided was delicious and plentiful. We loved learning about the flora and fauna along the trail, and were amazed by Huchuy Qosqo. It was a much larger archaeological site than we were anticipating, and structures different from other sites we had visited around Cusco. This trek isn’t booked as much as others, and we think people are missing out. Highly recommended!

This company does an amazing job organizing the hike. From transportation to meals to the accommodations, this was an amazing way to experience the Salkantay Trek. Our guide, Angel, was helpful and enthusiastic each day and also gave us information about culture and history along the way.

This is an excellent tour. You are in very safe and capable hands with Salkantay trekking and Javier. If you have any concerns about your ability to do this trek book with this company as they will give you the best odds of being able to make it. Excellent food, excellent accommodation and all facilities needed to complete the hike. Thank you Javier and Salkantay trekking!

The whole trek was such an incredible experience and our guide Wilfredo Pitanso made the experience even better. He was knowledgeable and friendly but most importantly made me feel safe the entire trek. The food and accommodations were also great and offered an entirely unique experience.

Difficult to recommend based on my experience.

Walking and transportation element well organised.

Overall the whole operation felt inflexible. The walking could easily have completed in 5 hours but approximately 10-12 hours was set aside for this everyday and at times it felt like there were more breaks than walking in order that we did not reach checkpoints too early.

5 out of 7 of our group without special dietary requirements who ate meals on the trek suffered from diarrhoea and vomiting with the same symptom onset time immediately after the trek, which is highly suggestive of a common source food poisoning outbreak from a meal in the 72 hours preceding symptom onset (i.e. consumed during the trek).

The option to explore Machu Picchu independently would have been appreciated.

A fantastic company for trekking, They were super organised and informative from start to finish and made everything very easy. The accommodation is luxurious for camping and the food is great - all their staff and interaction's we had were professional and helpful.

Very well organized. Prepared for every circumstance. Great food and accommodations. We had an amazing time and will never forget this experience ! George was a fantastic patient, and knowledgeable guide. Thank you Salkantay family !!

Took the private premium tour on the salkantay 5 day. Well organized trip. Great guides, cooks, horsemen. Excellent service from all parties.

La experiencia con el grupo y el guia fue buenísima pero las gestiones de Yuri han sido pésimas. La empresa se centra demasiado en los beneficios. Me cobraron la entrada a Waynapichu sabiendo que estaba cerrada, ya que nada más hacer el pago me informaron de que la montaña estaba cerrada. Además, al hacer el pago con tarjeta o paypal me cobraron un porcentaje extra que tuve que asumir ademas de la cantidad de la entrada. He tenido que estar encima de ellos para que me hicieran la devolución, en lugar de hacerla de manera automática. La devolución me la querían hacer en metálico, en lugar de por transferencia y en dolares, cuando mi moneda es el euro y perdería aun mas dinero con el cambio. Para compensarlo, no me cobraron el alquiler de unos bastones, pero he tardado 1 mes en recibir la devolución y he recibido menos cantidad de la que debería porque no han asumido los gastos de la transacción de Paypal. A pesar de que la experiencia alli fue muy buena, que miren tanto el dinero y no cuiden a los clientes en ese aspecto no les beneficia. Por otro lado, estuvimos sin luz en dos de los tres campamentos. Aceptamos que son cosas que pueden pasar, pero podría haber sido otro de los motivos por los que reclamar y no lo hicimos por no perjudicar a la empresa, pero visto el trato recibido deberíamos haberlo hecho. Si cobran lo que cobran, deberían garantizar los servicios que ofrecen, ya que hay empresas que ofrecen los mismos servicios por mucho menos precio y sin engañar a los clientes por los servicios ofrecidos

Incredible trekking experience with SALKANTAY TREKKING. All of the details were very carefully planed and everything went extremely smoothly. Great tour guides, chefs/food, accommodations, and overall experience.

My every first time trekking experience in Peru! It’s challenging but feeling safe because of the caring of the professional guides. Much appreciated!

I did the Ausangate 4-day trek and it was amazing! The team of Salkantay trekking was professional. The guide had a lot of knowledge about the environment, history, culture and traditions, so I learned a lot while enjoying beautiful nature. The cooks prepared us the most delicious meals! The only thing is that there was a lot of food. Less would have been enough as well. The horsemen treated the horses well and brought our belongings safely to the next campsite. The materials they used for camping were also very good and the hot water bottle every night before going to sleep was a nice surprise. All together a great experience!

Super awesome experience! Great people, great food and the most incredible and diverse views I’ve ever experienced.

Very knowledgable tour guide

We had the most amazing days on the trek! We’ve been travelling around South America for over seven weeks, and the days on the trek have definitely been the highlight! I’ve done a lot of mountain tours with guides, and I can say without a doubt: our guide Carlos was the best I’ve ever had! He was truly caring and full of incredible knowledge. Even when it was raining heavily, Carlos managed to keep everyone’s spirits high!

The BEST company to choose for your Salkantay trek. We completed the trek in April and were treated to amazing food each day, unique accommodation that lets you sleep comfortably under the stars (with wifi every night), and perfectly organised days. From the second the coach picks you up on day one everything is planned out for you - from the walking, to the transportation, to the hot spring experience, to the food stops and more. You feel safe each day and your guide ensures a pace is set that everyone is comfortable with.

Juan Carlos was our guide for the five days and was honestly the best tour guide I’ve ever had on any travel experience. He was fun, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable about nature and Inca / Peruvian history. He made our group feel like a family and every day feel like an amazing adventure.

Book your trip with Salkantay Trekking - you will have the time of your life! 5 days I will remember forever!!!!

Our guide, Broly, was incredibly passionate, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic throughout the entire Inca Trail experience. Everything was thoughtfully planned and paced just right, making the journey both enjoyable and smooth. The hike itself was breathtaking, but what truly made it special was Broly's insightful explanations—his stories and knowledge added so much meaning to the stunning sites we visited. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to experience this unforgettable adventure with!

We had the most amazing 5-day trekking with our tourguide Henrry. He shared some stories on the way and was very knowledgeable. We felt like we lucked out with him! His colleague Joseph joined later and was fantastic as well. We always felt safe, even though sometimes we'd struggle because of the lack of oxygen. Would highly recommend going with this company!
