This trip was physically difficult and I would recommend training prior to and proper acclimatization. The company and guides were excellent and extremely knowledgeable of the area. All of the transportation and logistics were thought out and left me with no worries

This was the best trip I've ever done. Our tour guide Yuri was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly friendly. The company was super organized and provided us with the tools we needed to be successful in the challenge. The food was incredible. We got to experience Peru's best, and I can't wait to be back. If you are considering the Salkantay trek, ask for Yuri, he is the best!
