Classic Salkantay: Breathtaking 5-Day Machu Picchu Trek

Such a great experience - loved meeting people in the group from other countries / sharing experiences & I learnt so much about the history of Cusco along the way. Tour guides (Ramiro & Danger) were amazing!!

Cesar was an exceptional tour guide. We’ve been on tours all over the world, and I can honestly say he’s one of the best we’ve ever had. He was incredibly attentive, quickly recognising each participant’s fitness level and offering guidance accordingly for different parts of the track. He answered every question with ease and depth — his knowledge and passion for his work are so evident. The amount of information he shared about the plants, people, customs, mountains, and local communities was truly outstanding. His attention to detail and organisational skills were exceptional. We look forward to returning to Peru and joining another tour with him soon. Thank you so much, Cesar, for this wonderful experience — your passion, knowledge, and care made this journey truly unforgettable.

The Salkantay 5day trek is an absolute once in a lifetime trek you will never forgot or stop talking about. Carlos “The Mountain King” has to be your guide! He is incredibly knowledgeable and funny, he knows when to fill you with great information or fill you with laughter. Bonofacio our Chef created some amazing dishes for breakfast lunch and dinner, we were given snacks for the day to eat on the hike but i never touched them from being so full from every meal that i could not stop eating. This trip was especially special as I proposed to my Girlfriend and it was hard to choose where to ask as there are so many spots that are just so special.

Hiking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu was amazing and the biggest reason for that was Carlos the mountain king. He was very knowledgeable and supportive to anyone who needed it on the hikes. The hikes were very rewarding with amazing views and snacks along the way. We were also treated every day with amazing food from international chefs. The sleeping accommodations were also very unique and added to the adventure. Carlos was always helpful and answered any questions. Would highly recommend this trek to anyone!

Carlos, the Mountain King, was an amazing guide. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. He not only guided our trek but provided information about local flora, fauna, traditions, etc. He was always positive and motivating too. The Chefs provided us nutritious and filling meals that were delicious, too. They were even able to accommodate my special dietary needs without problem.

Carlos is truly the Mountain King of the Andes! Great guide, excellent information along the way, and the most positive attitude! Our chef, Bonofacio did an excellent job accommodating my wife's food allergies. Every meal was filling, fueling and delicious!

Our guide, Carlos the mountain king, was outstanding! We had an amazing time and learnt lots along the way. The accommodations and food from our chefs were also great.

Just returned from the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu — truly the experience of a lifetime. The unique accommodations and incredible food exceeded expectations, and everything was so well organized. The highlight was our guide, Edgard — knowledgeable, patient, and passionate. He brought Peruvian history to life and kept us motivated throughout. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Edgard as your guide!

My husband and I had a wonderful first time trekking experience. Everything was well organized, our tour guide Joseph was super knowledgeable and kind and our group was fantastic and very supportive. The food the chefs made on the trek was very good and we had quite a wide variety of foods. The accommodations on the trek were amazing and definitely a bit of a treat after a long day of hiking.

Absolutely amazing experience! Thoroughly enjoyed it despite the weather conditions. The guide was very informative and provided lots of information on history.
