Giancarlo was our guide and he was great. We had such an amazing time and enjoyed the sweeping landscapes of mountains, rivers, and wildlife on the trek. Made great friends with our group and had some amazing food from our cook.
Once-in-a-lifetime experience, which I don’t think I could have made possible without the constant support, help, and encouragement of our guide, Henry Quintano, and our excellent cook, Samuel. A huge thanks to both of them !!!
An amazing expérience that I would recommend at 100%. The guide, Henry Quintano, is very friendly and patient with us. He was the best guide I had ever have and the staff also ! The atmosphere is incredible and landscapes beautiful ! The food was very good, thank to our cook : Samuel !!
Human warmth and very resourceful
The guides in particular, Darío and Cristian, were excellent. The cooks were always offering their best to please us. I felt very supported at every moment.
We had 5 fantastic days during the 5-day Salkantay Trek with our wonderful guide Nestor Guevara and chef Alejandro. During the whole trek, the overnight stays and meals were excellent. Nestor is a fantastic guide who has taught us a lot about the flora, fauna, history and local customs of this beautiful area. His knowledge, enthusiasm and commitment made the experience extra special. Because it was high season, it proved difficult to get a ticket for Machu Picchu. The organization even offered us a fully catered extra day. Unfortunately, due to our planning, we only had limited time for that. Yet the organization did everything possible to arrange a ticket for us within our 5-day trek. Fortunately, we succeeded! We are extremely grateful for the commitment of the entire team and look back on an unforgettable experience. Definitely recommended!
We had an amazing experience on the 5-day Salkantay Trek with Xtreme Tourbulencia. The scenery throughout the trek was absolutely breathtaking, and everything was well organized from start to finish. A special thank you to our guide, Dario. He was incredibly kind, patient, and always made sure everyone in the group was doing well. He shared lots of interesting information about the mountains, nature, local culture, and the Inca history along the way. His explanations at Machu Picchu really made the visit even more meaningful and helped us appreciate the site so much more. The trek was challenging but very rewarding, and we always felt well looked after. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable way to experience the Salkantay Trek and Machu Picchu. Thank you, Dario(and Christian), for making it such a memorable adventure!
We had a fantastic experience. The Incatrekket is characterized by unique cultural and natural experiences. The trip was tough, but we saw our guide Giancarlo and our wild porters “stand on their toes” to help and support us 24/7. Giancarlo was also a very knowledgeable and inspiring mediator of Inca culture.
Joel and Albert were excellent guides, as was the rest of the team (porters, cooks, etc.) thank you
Joel and Albert, you were very good at guiding, very professional.
