What people love about Salkantay Trek Tours
- Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 8 days
Excellent tour! The cooks, porters, guides went above and beyond on the 5day Salkantay hiking portion of the trip
- Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N
Since my friend and I did the 4 (instead of 5) day Salkantay trek, Junior was our second guide as off the 3rd day. He picked us up on time from the meeting point and brought our luggage to our room. Our next day and last day, was THE big and exciting visit to Machu Pichu. Junior accompanied us by bus in the mornig and gave us the historic background on top the sit. He told us where to go, handed over the return bus and train tickets and then left us at 10 o'clock to roam around on our own. We were very surprised and even more disappointed since he didn't accompany on the Machu Picchu site....after all it was the epidamy of our whole visit to Peru ! We even feel cheated, since we paid dearly for a 4 day trek and the last one was just a farce. For all that matters, he also could have talked about the history in the restaurant the night before and just given us us the bus tickets. We're still quite upset about this. All the more since we couldn't help notice that most people had all the explications on the site, wile enjoying a fully guided tour.....meanwhile, we were just wandering around.... BUT, our first guide, Niko, was absolutely great. 5 stars for his excellent care and attention. He even got in touch after in order to ask us about our MP visit. He was surprised also and assured us that he ALWAYS accompanies his groups. Such a shame we didn't have him for our last day !

The diversity of activities was just right. Perfect pacing of hiking and relaxing. Loved the hot springs and ziplining. We were a family of 4. Two of us had altitude sickness which could have been a challenge for our guide. JC offered medicine and encouragement. He was very knowledgeable of the area’s history and vegetation. He demonstrated great concern for our safety and positive experience. Our cook Jorhe provided excellent meals. Far too much to eat. Amazing how he pulled the variety of dishes together. The morning tea outside our tent was such a nice touch each morning. Our horseman Alejandro was very hard working. Would highly recommend this guide team.

"First of all, it took Tour Radar 7 days to reply to my questions. The first 2 days of the tour were OK. On the third night, at the “lodge”, i slept on the worst mattress in my life. Let me say it again, i slept on metal springs. To use the bathroom or the shower, i had to leave the building, second floor, go across long courtyard to another building to use a bathroom! The tour guide at Aquas Calientes gave me a ticket to Machu Picchu and MP. Mountain with instructions to text him when I was done with the mountain, so he can give me a tour of Machu Picchu. I got up at 4:30 in the morning to be one of the first at the gate. When I presented the ticket, i was told that i had a ticket for the wrong date!!! So I had to wait for over an hour for my guide to show up with a different ticket. In a mean time, thousands of other tourists went inside, preventing me to photograph without tourists. And the best time to photograph, the sunrise, was gone. Also, i asked the guide what to do with my luggage while I am hiking in Machu Picchu and he told me to leave it in the hotel. Wrong! Check out was at 10 in the morning. So I had to rush from the mountain to check out on time. No Machu Picchu Mountain! The company should have known about 10 AM checkout. Also hotel did not have hot water for 4 hours. Finally, if checkout is at 10, and my train ticket is for 14:55, I had to sit in the lobby for 3 hours! Not good planning. The website stated that porters: horses, donkeys and cars will be carrying luggage up to 5 kg. On day 4, I had to carry it. There were many other things but i am giving you just the highlights.
