My partner and i decided to take the Salkantay trek since the classic Inca trail was already booked solid. We kept our expectations not quite so high after Marco at journey machu picchu recommended The Salkantay trek but after arriving in Cusco we were ecstatic and could not wait to start the hike. The Salkantay was what was offered and much more, i could not believe how beautiful the landscape is and how amazing our guides and porters were. This trip was just an amazing experience that ended with Visiting Machu Picchu to then being taken back to Cusco via train. Truly a trip to recommend to anyone looking for an adventure.Show more
