Salkantay Trek Standard 5T/4N

Senhores nao tempo p trabalhar p os senhores. Pais em situacao atipica. Greves de transportes com alguns eventos violencia. Como eu poderia ficar preso em Machu Pichu, fiz minha desistencia. A quadrilha empresarial negou-se a me reembolsar. Opiniao: o contrato é invalidado quando o pais nao oferece as condicoes de seguranca...... Fui roubado em 3.200 R.

Where do I even begin…We had our tour scheduled at the most interesting time (in history) when the president was impeached a week prior causing strikes and protests to break out causing roads/transportation closures and flight cancellations out of Peru, etc. If it wasn’t for our gracious tour guide, Stif, we may still be stuck in Machu Picchu, where about 200 tourists were stuck with no trains coming or going causing water, food, and supplies to run low. Him and his team went above and beyond to do all that they could to get us out and back safely to Cusco. Through the better judgment of Stif, we were able to see Machu Picchu on the 4th day before they shut it down completely the following day. Apart from the drama above, the tour was very well thought out and meticulously planned. Our chef, Jesus, is Ratatouille in human form. How he was able to creatively put together 3 meals a day that catered to all diets and that was also very delicious is beyond me! You definitely won’t go hungry on this tour as they keep you well nourished and hydrated throughout the day. Our group consisted of my friend, myself, a solo traveler, tour guide, chef, and 2 horsemen. The first 2 days is not for the faint of hearts. Even if you are active and in shape, this trek will test your superior athleticism. I had a respiratory infection coming in so there was an option to pay extra to take a horse up the first 2 of the hardest days, however, no option to take them down. I ended up hiking over 70km, while the others in the group hiked over 100km total in 5 days. 30km was us hiking the train trek to get out of there due to the protests and closures of the train. Thank god for Stif who combined us with another group and had a bus waiting for us late at night to get back to town when protesters were sleeping. We heard of other tourists having to hitchhike and getting back to Cusco after 6am. It took us from 1pm - 2am to get back on 5th day. Honestly cannot thank Stif and Jesus enough to keep us in good spirits and getting us safely back to Cusco. Even though we endured a lot of mishaps during our tour and what we went through rarely ever happens, we are very appreciative for Stif and his team during this trying and unfortunate time. Definitely book the tour. You’ll be in great hands.

Ich hatte eine tolle Erfahrung auf dem 5-tägigen Trek und kann ihn zu 100 % weiterempfehlen. Alles war sehr gut arrangiert, die inbegriffenen Mahlzeiten waren großartig und Carlos ist ein erstaunlicher, lustiger, hilfsbereiter und sehr sachkundiger Führer!
