Will I be sleeping in my own tent or required to share? Are there basic showers at all the campsites? Will I be porting my own tent and sleeping bag or is there a porter or pack animal? How far in advance do I need to book this?

As a solo traveler, you'll need to share tents until the 3rd night. First campsite has no showers as it's very cold. Subsequent campsites have cold water showers. Horsemen will carry your duffel bags (max 5 kilos including sleeping bag) for the first 3 days. From the 4th day, you'll need to carry your own bag. We recommend booking 3 months in advance to confirm Machu Picchu entrance.

Is the Salkantay trek available in March?

We have departures in March so you can proceed with your booking in advance.

Would strongly recommend this tour. It’s a packed itinerary, but absolutely worth it as it offers a comprehensive look at Peru—from the coast to the Andes and the jungle—along with its incredible food and culture. I loved all the places I have been to, they all offer different exepriences. Although the highlight for me was Cusco and the Sacred Valley incl. Machu Picchu and Inca Trail (switched Salkantay trail to Inca Trail), which really captured the magic of the country. While I was the only one booked on the full itinerary, I joined different groups each day, which made it easy to meet new people and share experiences along the way. Everything was very well organized, and the logistics ran smoothly throughout the trip. From Ica to Cusco, Manu was my guide, and he made a huge difference. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always kept me informed about the next day’s plans while making sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him! This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see a wide range of what Peru has to offer and don’t mind a fairly active schedule. I would highly recommend it.Show more

The tour was great with all the activities and experiences. They took care of all modes of transportation, from picking us up from the airport to dropping us back to catch our flight. Our guides Ronal and Tito were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There was some disorganisation and confusion with the company for the itinerary we had booked and what they had scheduled us for, so be careful when checking in to check the details. But they immediately took care of it the moment we let them know. The lodge and rooms were great. This is out in the jungle, and the staff tries to keep it as close to nature as possible. But a fan, some extra toilet paper, and some more vegetarian meal options would have made it a little more comfortable.Show more

  Is the return train (14:55 hours Touristic) not included in the package? If I book Huayna Picchu/Machu Picchu, how does this work with the city visit? What is the difference between Salkantay Standard and the other trek?
- CondeTravelOperator•Written December 2024
  Touristic train is included in your package. Huayna Picchu must be booked at least 3 months in advance. After the Machu Picchu guided tour, you can visit Huayna Picchu for 2 hours before returning. The difference between packages is only in inclusions, the route remains the same.
