  Een perfecte en professionele Salkantay trek!
Wij hebben de Salkantay trek gedaan van 4 dagen. We hebben er helemaal niets op aan te merken. Alles was tot in de puntjes goed georganiseerd, denk aan de busjes/taxi’s ernaartoe, de overnachtingen en het eten. Maar vooral bijzonder dank aan onze gids Marco, hij heeft oog voor iedereen, zorgt voor verbinding en heeft enorm veel kennis wat hij heel fijn overbrengt! Hij is ook heel behulpzaam wanneer iemand zich even niet goed voelt. Erg goed en knap gedaan!! Wanneer je hier boekt, heb je gegarandeerd een prachtige en professionele hike naar Macha Picchu!

  Salkantay Trek 5D with Carlos
We booked the 5D Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and we had the best experience. We were signed up to a group of 15 people and we had so much fun. The trek itself was hard sometimes, especially the first 2 days, but our guide Carlos took such good care of us. He made sure everyone felt alright and he gave us a lot of information about the Incas and the environment. The camping sites were amazing and the food was delicious. We absolutely recommend doing the Salkantay trek with them!

  Great experience on the Inka Trail
We did the 2 days Inka Trail with Luis and Alfredo, were we walked for one day and saw Machu Picchu already on the first evening and had a guided tour on the next morning. It was a really great experience, we enjoyed it a lot. Our guides were so passionate and proud to tell us something about their anscestors, the Inka people. So their passion made this trip really motivating and special and we also learned a lot. Walking this challenging trek gives one a good impression what the Inkas accomplished during the times and of course the tour at Machu Picchu was the highlight of the tour. Everything was well organized without any problems, the included lunch, dinner and accommodation was fine as well. Would definitely recommend.

  Delightful!
The 2 day Salkantay trek with Alan was the best! I feared that the trip would be cancelled because I was the only one who signed up for the trip dates I went on. They still honored my reservation and I got the best private tour ever! Alan shared really interesting information during the tour and was easy to get along with and very kind. I never felt uncomfortable as a female solo traveler during this time either. Staying in the glass dome was a highlight of the trip! Best nap ever! I also enjoyed the food provided during the trek. Overall, this was a great adventure and I highly recommend guide Alan and Machu Picchu Reservations!

  Top organisatie
We hebben de 5 daagse Salkantay trekking gedaan. Onze gids, Amoroso, was heel fijn! Hij kon ons veel vertellen over de omgeving en de geschiedenis van de inca’s. Daarnaast was hij verantwoordelijk en lette hij goed op ieders gezondheid (vanwege de hoogte). Ook is hij een sociaal persoon, die leuke humor heeft. DUS, als je Amoroso als gids hebt, dan heb je geluk!! Verder was alles goed geregeld door Machu Picchu Reservations: slaapplekken waren goed, ontbijt/lunch/avondeten was voedzaam en vervoer ook prima. Al met al een top ervaring. Ik raad de organisatie aan

  Excellent
Did the 4 day Inca Jungle adventure with tour guide Jhon. The tour was great value for money considering meals and accommodation were included. Jhon was very informative and went above and beyond to make it a good trip for our small group. Could not recommend more.

  5 day Salkantay-Trek - what a great experience
We did the 5 day Salkantay-Trek and it was amazing. Our guide Carlos took really good care of our group (13 people) and gave us a lot of information and told funny stories. The food was good and more than enough. Everthig was so well organized. The first two nights in the huts were great. The rented sleeping bags were warm (I was worried before but it was -3 degrees at night and I'm always freezing but it was fine!). I would totally do this tour again and can definitly recommend Machu Picchu Reservations. Ask for Carlos as a guide - he was the best!
