    The two days prior and the 5 day trek were all well organised. The trek itself was great, the support and food excellent and the guide competent and informative. A big shout out to Lisseth Martinez, who was great in respect to organising everything behind the scenes, and Ronnie the driver, the most helpful and amicable of people. I would recommend this to anyone.

    We had a great time on our tour with our guide Emilio. The food prepared by Mario was fantastic! I would suggest bringing some protein bars since the food is very high carb but relatively low in protein considering the trek. Overall an amazing experience we won’t soon forget.

    This trip was amazing scenery. The guide Saul was really great and went above and beyond! The cooks and food were excellent. The horsemen were also professional and helpful. Things I have for improving this tour are: there should be a better system for getting clean water. The cooks had to boil water and store in plastic jugs. At times, the water was still warm in the jugs and it’s not healthy to have warm water in plastic. It would help them and hikers if there was a water filter to get clean water. Also, the itinerary should be updated to be more accurate. The last day is listed as a mild 10.5 mile hike. We hiked 16 miles. As there is a bit of a language barrier, it is important for the correct information to be available for planning. Overall, the trip was good due to the guide and workers, but could be really great with better information.

    Do you still have availability on this tour for 1 person on May 20th? If so, I see there's a room option is for twin room needed another traveller? I'm ok with sharing the room so can I still book the twin room if I'm only booking and traveling by myself?

    Benjamin

    Asked on December 5th, 2024

    I am interested in signing up for the 8 day Cusco & Salkantay Tour. I like that it's fairly strenuous and that the hikers spend much of the time outdoors. Is there a 10 - 12 day tour which would be similar to this one without the Lima stay?
