Salkantay Trek Tours & Trips
The Salkantay route through the Andes is seriously breathtaking. You’ll see huge snow-capped peaks all around you, forests that are insanely green, and orchids everywhere you look. The mountain lodges are cozy as can be, and the Peruvian hosts make you feel right at home. Then you end up at Machu Picchu, which honestly lives up to the hype.

One of the best hikes we have ever done. Incredible and diverse scenery from snow capped mountains , to the jungle and everything between and of course Machu Picchu. Our guide, Alexander was brilliant: friendly , personable and very knowledgeable. All the staff (porters and chefs) were great and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend doing the Salkantay trek with this Alpaca expeditions.

Jeg havde høje forventninger til den 5 dages salkantay treck, og jeg blev stadig enormt positivt overrasket. Det var over alle forventninger. Naturen, maden, hele arrangementet var bare 10/10. Vores guide hed Wilbert, og han gjorde en allerede spændene og yderst tilfredsstillende oplevelse, 100 gange bedre. Løsningsorienteret mand, en masse gode samtaler, hjælpsom, godt humør og en masse spænende historier om Peru, kultur og machu pichu. En meget vis mand med mange oplevelser i rygsækken. Karismatisk mand. Han lærte os så meget, og jeg er yderst taknemmelig. Jeg kunne ikke have ønsket mig end bedre guide til den 5 dages salkantey treck.
