Klassischer Inka Trail nach Machu Picchu – 4 Tage / 3 Nächte

Unbelievable trip that I would highly reccomend to anyone wanting to see Machu Picchu. The Inka Trail is truly the only way to do it. Salkantay was a fabulous tour operator and we had the best guide in Anthony.

The 4 day classic Inca trail was a really special experience. Trekking through the Andes with awesome views and coming across Inca ruins was so cool. The guide, Anthony, was outstanding and always made sure everyone was happy during the walk. He was able to answer our thousands of questions about not just Inca ruins but Peruvian culture, and was able to make us laugh while doing it! The trail wasn’t as busy as I thought it would be, and the porters were incredible, always having set up our tent before we arrived. The chef served up delicious food that I have no idea how he cooked at a campsite. Overall as good as the Inca trail can get!

An absolutely incredible experience, led by the absolute maestro, Anthony. Guide was incredible, equipment was top tier and the hike was done beautifully. Once in a lifetime (mainly because of all the steps!) experience, made amazing by Salkantay!

The entire experience was amazing! Anthony is the best tour guide we could’ve asked for! 10/10 recommend to family and friends

My spouse and I recently completed the Inca Trail with Salkantay Trekking, it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed, every logistical detail was handled perfectly. Transfers, entry tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, bag transfer and storage, etc. the tents, sleeping bags and pads were excellent quality and we were comfortable, warm and rested because of it. Our guide, Jorge, was phenomenal. His knowledge of the local flora, fauna, the ancient and current history of the region was truly amazing and added so much depth to the journey. Beyond his tour guide expertise, Jorge is an incredible human being. I was ill the second day, which is by far the hardest day of the climb, and I cannot thank him enough for his care. He looked after me with such patience and encouragement, ensuring I was okay at every step, and he did so without ever making me feel bad for my slower pace. It was a massive comfort to know I was in such capable hands. He simultaneously ensured the rest of the group was having a great experience. The entire team, including the porters and the chef, were top-notch. The food on the trek was excellent, I expected a camp-like cook and fare, but the meals were beautifully presented, with generous family style portions and they were tasty, there was nothing I did not like. When they say a Chef is travelling with you, they mean it! I am gluten intolerant with a peanut allergy, our Chef Edwin had no problems accommodating me. The porters were phenomenal and made sure our stuff arrived and everything was set up for us upon arrival to camp each night. If you are considering this trip, I would recommend this company with no hesitation. Not only did everything go smoothly, but I also feel they treat their staff really well. I will offer a couple of tips; The hike is physically demanding. If you aren’t in reasonably good shape, make sure to put in the time to train before you go—it will make your experience much more enjoyable. Another tip is to ensure that you bring enough soles to tip the porters,chef and guide appropriately. They work really hard to ensure that you have a safe and memorable experience- and they deserve every bit and more. Thank you, Jorge and the whole team, for an incredible adventure!

Our expectations were exceeded in every category on this trekking experience. From the communication prior to arrival, the briefing from our guide Darió the night before, through the entire trek and return back to Cusco. Pre-Departure: The information provided by Salkantay was provided early and was thorough. We had no questions prior to our arrival in Cusco. The Trek: Our entire experience was made possible through the exceptional professionalism and knowledge from our guide, Darió Fuentes. It started at our briefing the day prior and he made sure all of our questions were answered and managed our expectations on what each day was going to look like. Through the trek, Darió managed our pacing to ensure we would make the checkpoints at appropriate times without completely burning out during the trek. Additionally, his knowledge of the history and development of the Inca trail as well as the archaeological sites throughout the trek was phenomenal! The Porters & Chefs: the professionalism from the porters and the chef cannot be understated. They were prepared well in advance each day for our arrival to base camp. The food was a highlight with three or four course meals being served for each meal that were all delicious and fueled us for the trek.

We had a great experience doing the Inca trail. The views were amazing and everything was so well organized. Elias was an amazing guide and led us through each stage of the journey with patience and was able to share his wealth of knowledge with the group. They were able to accommodate my gluten free diet as well! Would recommend to anyone up for a challenge! It’s well worth it

Inca classic 4 day is the best trek ever for me. The fact that this trail was built by the IINCA’s and not a modern trail made is so sacred and special. The topography, the INCA sites was the best. Nature all along the trek from the rivers, waterfalls, greenery, birds flowers especially orchids was like no other for me. In my 60 it was challenging for sure but doable.. as our guide Henry made sure we enjoyed the trek and gave time for this. It was not like just a hike for the sake of hiking it was a wholesome experience. The camping and using camp sites was different but Salkantay/ Henry made it as comfortable as it can be made. Salkantay made the planning , booking and the tours and trek a great experience. Eduardo Andrade who helped with the planning and booking was amazing. We were a group wanting 4 different trek options and I was the point person for the group. Eduardo made this easy for me. He gave great advice and insight . He was always available and showed lot is patience dealing with all the questions. We as a group did the Super sacred valley tour and also the Cusco city tour. Sergio our guide was great and these tours were well organized. I recommend Salkantay trekking company for your Machu Pichu/ Inca trek/ and any tours in the area

We were so thrilled with our experience with Dario Fuentes on the classic Inca four day trail. As the slower part of our group, he helped me pace and motivated me up the mountain. I would return to Salkantay Treking because of him; he provided support both before and during our hike and we felt extremely prepared for an adventure of a lifetime. I felt safe, supported, and encouraged throughout the duration of our hike. Dario knew so much to share about the history and legends. He was an absolute gem, with good humor and always making sure we could finish our hike safely. We also had a great porter group, who were amazing from start to finish. They even served pizza and cake on our trek, which was a lovely surprise! Thank you Moises, Leonce, Edgar, Sebastian, Aparicio, Vidal, Mario, and Juan for everything! We could not have had a better experience!

Glad I did it. The food was amazing, the stuffed avocado on the first day was my favorite. The porters were kind and strong and would keep spirits high when they passed. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the history of the Inca trail and Machu Picchu.
