Salkantay Trekking Bewertungen 

I highly recommend this company. I booked 3 packages from them for my 10 days trip: Sacred Valley, Salkantay 6 days trek and Palcoyo Mountain. All the trips run very smoothly and exceded my expectations. The logistics are top notch and the guides are very knowledgeable.
Zucemo, the guide from the Salkantay trek is the best of the best. He is a natural leader and very professional. Kept the group very engaged in all the walks sharing historical information. I've learned a lot from him!

Our guide Nicco set a negative tone from the very first orientation, warning us the trek was "very hard" and that he would decide after Day 1 who could continue. This discouraging attitude persisted throughout.

Day 1: Despite his repeated warnings that we'd miss lunch or arrive too late for Humantay Lake, our group reached every checkpoint on time.

Day 2: After riding a horse up to Salkantay Pass (due to mild altitude sickness), I hiked the 8+ hour descent on foot. Nicco constantly harassed me — telling me I'd make the group eat cold lunch, that I'd reach camp "at midnight," and even telling me not to "walk like a gorilla." He also recruited my wife to pressure me on his behalf when he wasn't nearby. Despite all this, I arrived at lunch on time and reached camp only 15 minutes after the last group member. I never actually delayed the group.

Days 3–4: The constant negativity broke my confidence. I opted for transport to the next campsites, missing hikes I now believe I could have completed — especially the rainforest trek on Day 3.

The contrast: On Day 4, I joined another group from the same company for ziplining. Their guide was supportive, personable, and never belittled anyone. Members of that group said they completed difficult hikes because of their guide's encouragement. It made clear how much Nicco's approach cost me.

Bottom line: The trek logistics, campsites, and support staff were fine. But a guide's job is to help people succeed, not intimidate them into giving up. I was made to feel weak and incapable, and I missed experiences I'd paid for and trained for. I hold Nicco's guiding style directly responsible for those missed days. The company should ensure their guides encourage rather than discourage their clients.

Hardcore high altitude 3 day trek was in challenging conditions with snow and high winds the guide chef and horseman were amazing made it an unforgettable experience

You have to do this trip!!! It was one of the most incredible and special 5 days of my life. Marco, our guide, was AMAZING! He kept us safe, he was hilariously funny, he so passionate and knowledge about his ancestry and he just made the trip so perfect. We had an amazing group of people doing the hike too, for which I am forever grateful. These people are now truly special friends! You will not regret doing this, trust me!

I did the 5 Day Salkantay Trek and would truly recommend to everyone I know. Our guide, Marco, was incredible - so knowledgable and passionate about Peru, Incan Culture and the Andes in general. He made everyone feel safe the entire trip and his communication was excellent throughout. Thanks so much Marco!!

The 4-day Salkantay Trek to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Every single day brought breathtaking scenery — from snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear lakes to lush cloud forests and ancient Incan sites. The beauty of Peru is impossible to describe until you experience it yourself.

What made this trip even more special was my incredible guide, Angel. His knowledge of Incan history, culture, and the surrounding landscape brought every moment to life. You could feel their passion in every story and explanation along the trail, making the trek not just physically rewarding, but deeply meaningful.

The people i met along the way were equally amazing — warm, welcoming, encouraging, and full of positive energy. There was such a strong sense of camaraderie throughout the journey that strangers quickly felt like family.

And the food prepared by Jose was absolutely unbelievable for a remote mountain trek. Every meal was freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and honestly better than many restaurants. Waking up to hot coca tea and ending long hiking days with incredible dinners was something we looked forward to every day. Jose even made a birthday cake one evening 🤯
This trek challenged me physically, inspired me emotionally, and rewarded me with memories that will last forever. If you are considering the Salkantay Trek, do it. It is so much more than a hike — it is an adventure filled with history, culture, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable people.

Salkantay Trekking is exceptional in all ways.

Our guides, Jorge and Luis, were kind, thoughtful, fun and funny, friendly, and I felt calm and safe for everyone moment of our 5-day trek.

Everything about the journey exceeded my expectations and imagination, and my expectations are high after twenty years of travel, trekking, and adventuring.

11/10 stars. Would highly recommend.

Edwin our guide was amazing! Knowledgeable, professional, funny, patient, etc. The camp food was also outsanding. Everything about the trek was top notch.

Our tour guide Marquito was amazing from start to finish.
The whole trip was extremely well organised. You were supported the whole way through. From the horseman to the chefs, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Salkantay Trekking.

Increíble, la mejor agencia que puedes alegir para hacer el Salkantay Trail.

This was honestly one of the most amazing experiences of our lives!! From start to finish we could have not asked for anymore!!! Our guides Jerson and Pedro were absolutely incredible!! They were both very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, humble and kept the whole group engaged and entertained throughout the 5 days!!! Thank You for giving us memories to last a lifetime!!!

We could write a few pages more but that wouldn’t do it justice!!! If you are looking at booking this Trek then please go for it, you will NOT be disappointed!!

The half day Cusco’s city tour with Nico was so informative. He is a wealth of knowledge. Loved hearing the history of the ruins.

Our tour guide Hermo was so kind and knowledgeable and the company took care of all the logistics so that we could really appreciate the nature and beauty of the places we got to see.

The best company to hike to Machu Picchu! Jose (our Guide) make the experience 5 stars, he is very fun and knowledgeable. This is the company you should choose!

I just completed a 5-day trek with this agency, and I can confidently say it exceeded every expectation.
From the very beginning, everything was handled with precision and care. The logistics were seamless, the communication was clear, and the entire experience felt thoughtfully designed.
The guides were outstanding.
Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive, they struck the perfect balance between leadership and warmth. They were highly experienced in the terrain and altitude, constantly checking in on the group, adjusting the pace when needed, and making sure everyone felt safe and supported. Beyond that, they brought incredible energy to the journey—sharing insights, stories, and creating a sense of camaraderie that made the trek even more meaningful.
The food was next level.
It’s honestly hard to believe what the cooks were able to prepare in such remote conditions. Every meal was fresh, varied, and delicious—far beyond what you would expect on a trek. From hearty breakfasts to beautifully presented dinners, the quality and care put into the food made a huge difference in maintaining energy and morale throughout the journey.
The overall experience was exceptional.
The team worked like a well-oiled machine. Every detail—from campsite setup to timing and coordination—was handled flawlessly. You could tell there is a strong culture of excellence behind the scenes.
This wasn’t just a trek, it was a fully curated experience where you felt taken care of every step of the way.
If you’re considering doing this trek, don’t think twice. This agency sets the standard.

We did the 4 day classic inca trail with Salkantay Trekking and we are so pleased with our experience! Both of our guides were very knowledgeable on the history of the trail and the flora and fauna. They also were very supportive as parts of the trek are pretty difficult but they always told us to go our own pace and pushed us to succeed. The team of chefs and porters did outstanding; the porters were constantly going out of their ways to make us feel welcomed and supported even though they were working 10x harder than us. The food was outstanding, I’m shocked out what can be made at 3,600 m with only a fire. We recommend this trek to everyone with Salkantay trekking, it was an amazing experience. Extremely Attentive to detail and safety

This company is amazing. It was well organized and staff was easy to communicate at all times.

It’s definitely a challenging trek and might push you out of your comfort zone with food, accommodations and physical activity. But, this was all so important to our experience. We traveled as two girls alone and felt completely safe.

If you’re on the fence - do it 10000%! It’s a good mixture of adventure, culture, and comfort. The chefs, guides and horsemen take care of you and work so hard to ensure you have a good experience.

Come with an open mind and be ready for a challenge - it’s so worth it!!!

Lastly, it’s the most physically beautiful place I’ve ever been. Shoutout to our guide, Raul. If you get to be with him you are LUCKY. However, it seems that all staff is amazing.

Best trekking experience of my life. Couldn't give a higher recommendation.

I have done a couple of hikes across South America and South East Asia. This has been by far the most comfortable and fun hike I've been on. The views and hiking planning were immaculate and our guides were all really amazing and knowledgeable of the area that we hiked through. Really amazing experience and would definitely friends and family to try it out if the opportunity arises.

The 4-day inka trail to Macchu Picchu was an unforgettable experience, I will never forget this trip and will always speak highly of this travel company. Henry was so knowledgeable and attentive to our group, he made sure we had a great trip and were well taken care of. The chef was 5 star and we always were blown away by the high quality of food while camping. The porters made this trip possible for us, carrying everything we needed for our journey, they were incredible. I hold my hands up to the team and am so grateful for this experience.
