What people love about Salkantay Trek Tours
Wonderful tour guide & tour company with excellent service & great Peru experience! Loved that TreXeperience is a tour agency that supported the local community with local campsites, drivers, tour guides, horsemen, chefs. My tour guide (Hubert) is kind, helpfu, joyfull and informative throughout the entire trek and tour experience. He guided us well through the trek, shared the rich history, culture, food and local information about Peru and the Incan civilisation. He assisted me greatly from the briefing, to the trek, Machu Picchu and to the train & car back to my Cusco accommodation. The assistant chef (Manuel) and head chef (Lorenzo) were amazing in preparing delicious meals (International meals, Peru meals) and constantly delighted us with their surprises (prepared with minimal resources)! Highlight was the Peru cooking preparation of pachamanca (superb food for our lunch). Appreciate their sincerity and warmth in providing yummy meals for us to push us through the trek. Loved that the team ensured that our tents, sleeping bags, blankets were all set up as we arrived at our campsite every night.

"The tour was amazing. We had a smaller, more intimate group and an amazing Guide "Roger" who was very knowledgable of all the areas we journeyed. You could tell he really was passionate about his work and loves what he does. The landscapes were stunningly beautiful and different day to day. The food was amazing and plenty of it thanks to Chef Bertrand and A/Chef Cenobio. I felt completely supported and taken care of. Everything was organized and well operated. I would highly recommend this experience. 5/5.

"This was an excellent day-hike to a scenic lake about 3 hours from Cusco and provided a good warmup hike in preparation for the Inca Trail. Our English-speaking guide (David) was very supportive of the hikers in our group and provided ample time at the lake for photos, exploration (i.e. up on the ridge above Humantay Lake), snacking, and conversation. Everything about this tour was top-notch and deserves to be on your itinerary when visiting Cusco!
