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.

Our guides Renato and Jose Luis ( Pepe) took great care of us. Everything was well organised and prepared when we arrived each evening. Many thanks also to Dionisio and Fredy for their cooking skills - including a great variety of vegetarian meals. The transport of our bags was also smooth thanks to Santiago and Aly. It was overall a great experience that we would recommend
Classic Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - 4 DaysJeg 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.
5 Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu – Group ServiceThis was such an incredible experience, truly the trip of a lifetime! Book with Wilbert, he’s great.
