Trip date: May 2024 - MSMelany· November 27th, 2023The Ultimate Salkantay Trek 5D/5N with glass cabañas & hobbit house + hot tub jacuzzi was ABSOLUTELY amazing. Would recommend this trek to everyone. Our tour guides Javier and Victor were phenomenal. You could ask any question and they knew the answer and if you needed anything? They would immediately take care of it. We woke up everyday with an amazing view and a cup of hot tea. We were always the first one to arrive at a beautiful location to take pictures without any other hikers blocking the view. The food was delicious! Go book this trek if you love hiking, beautiful views and an adventure.Show moreAlpaca Expeditions commented on this reviewHello Melany : Thank you for taking a time out to share with us your experience.

- Ndola· October 14th, 2022I did a lot of research on different operators and am really happy I did the 5D/5N with Alpaca. They use a different schedule than most trekking companies so you're 1/2 a day ahead of the crowd, we always felt like we were the only ones on the trail. The food was delicious and the campsites were nice and clean, our guide Elisban was also very wonderful and took great care of us. Definitely would recommend!Show moreAlpaca Expeditions commented on this reviewDear Ndola, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are so happy about your experience with us.

Cynthia
Asked on November 28th, 2024I'm a solo traveller interested in your 5D Ultimate Salkantay Trek. As a Solo traveller, when would you be able to confirm my trek booking so that I can secure my flights from the UK? I would also be interested a personalised quote, starting the group Salkantay trek as early as possible and after visiting Machu Picchu, trekking the main tourist route back to Cuzco.
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
We have availability for the Ultimate Salkantay Trek starting on May 4th, 2025, as part of a group service. You need to confirm your booking at least 3 months in advance, as May is a high season, and permits for Machu Picchu tend to sell out quickly.
- C
Cynthia
Traveler•Written November 2024I'm a keen hiker. Can you propose anything specifically to add on at the end, either from Aguas Calientes or a separate trek starting from a Cusco pickup? A trek involving the Sacred Valley and/or Rainbow mountain sounds interesting?
- Alpaca ExpeditionsOperator•Written November 2024
Rainbow Mountain + Red Valley costs $160 per person in group service. Maras Moray Tour is $150 per person (group service) or $250 per person (private service). This includes visits to Moray archaeological site, Maras Salt Mines, and a local market in Chinchero.
