Thank you for giving me a quality trip within such a wonderful route, I will remember this experience forever.

We did the 5 day trek through Salkantay. We were a group of old adventurers, we never had much physical activity. The Walk is very challenging but definitely with the help of people it can be achieved. Our group was 12 people and I never saw anyone discouraged, on the contrary we all arrived at the goal “Machu Picchu”. In general terms, the service, the camps, the food and the guide and his work team were very responsible with us. Personally I liked very much that in each camp I was offered riding horses if we had fatigue problems, that detail gave me a lot of confidence to be able to achieve it.
