  Salkantay Trail hike with the best guide ever - Amoroso
I recently completed the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu, and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Amoroso, was absolutely fantastic—his knowledge, passion, and energy truly elevated the journey. He made sure everyone felt comfortable and motivated, sharing fascinating insights about the region’s history and culture along the way. The trail itself was challenging but breathtaking, with diverse landscapes that kept every day exciting. I highly recommend this tour and especially Amoroso if you're looking for an enriching and well-organized adventure.Would love to return someday!

  Wonderful Inka Trail Experience
We did the 4 day Inka trail hike, and had the best time! Our guide Javier was very knowledgable about the Inka sites and history and supported the group throughout the hike. Javier answered all of our questions, kept us laughing and even taught us a little Quechua along the way! The Chef and team of porters, led by Antonio, were incredible and kept us very well looked after! The meals were delicious and there was plenty of food (special shoutout to Cristobal who always made sure our tea was hot and our water was cold!). We would recommend this company (and Javier!) to anyone interested in doing the Inka trail!
