Was the best time of my life. I could not recommend doing this trek enough I loved every second of the salkantay trek. Our guide Willy was incredible and we genuinely enjoyed his company very much. Bamba is a bit pricey compared to some of the other companies though and more vego meals would’ve made it that much better.Show more

What made the experience awesome was Junior, whose knowledge knows no bound. From culture to agriculture and flora and fauna of the land. The trek was tough yet fulfilling. Junior was patient with all my questions and pace on the uphill. We had an amazing cook, Victoriano, that fed us delicious nutritious meals along the way that made a huge difference. Thank you Bamba Cusco too for all the arrangements and support.Show more

Me and my friends did the Salkantay Trek and it was an amazing experience. The views through all the way to get to Machu Picchu were stunning and breathtaking. Our tour guide JC was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly and always kept encouraging us all the way and never gave up on us and much more on the second day of the trek which was the longest and thoughest day of all, that at some point we felt like dying but making it to the top was the best feeling ever. And our cook Benny with his delicious creations, everyday he surprised us with a tasty meal. Overall we had a blast!!!Show more

Had the most amazing time, what a memorable experience, one I will remember for life. The stunning views, the breathtaking environment and the most amazing people. Percy our local guide made the experience, knowledgeable about the whole trek from fruits and wildlife along the way to the Inca’s story and Machu Picchu, so sociable and funny and made everyone feel like a “happy family” (that’s what he called us) Percy was working for Bamba Experience.Show more
