Visiting Machu Picchu was always a dream since I was very young, we just returned from our great experience, the Salkantay trek on the way to Machu Picchu!!!!
Everything exceeded the expectations I had, the adventure was simply exceptional; we walked through heights near the snow-capped mountains and also through the edge of the jungle. What beautiful nature !!!!! we enjoyed the thermal baths in Santa Teresa.... FINALLY Machupicchu .
Thank you very much for this experience to Reserv. Cusco , I WILL RECOMMEND IT TO MY FRIENDS.....

They exceeded my expectations ... Thank you very much
I could say that this adventure to Machu Picchu meets all my expectations for adrenaline and adventure; the hike was through elevations of more than 4,000 meters combined with descents of up to 1,600 meters. The Salkantay was magnificent and impressive; it was truly an excellent 5-day adventure ... To finally find Machu Picchu, everything was wonderfully organized ... Thank you very much

Salkantay great experience!!
I am not one to make comments, however, the service received from this tour operator warrants doing so. We had a great guide who was very knowledgeable about the history of Peru as well as the fauna and flora of this region. Regarding the logistics received, such as entrance to Machu Picchu, train tickets to Cusco, minibus, kitchen equipment, and everything necessary for this great experience, they were well organized. I will highly recommend it to my friends. Thank you very much!!

Trek Salkantay
At first, I thought it was a very difficult trek; well, that was the feedback from some friends. However, I found it quite moderate; there are both ascending and descending walks as well as trails through high jungle. Of course, on the first and second days, the altitude level of the trek averages 4000 meters. It was very comforting with all the nature and to see beautiful landscapes; on the fifth day, we arrived at Machu Picchu, which is sensational! Thanks to our guide, who was very knowledgeable about the route and had a lot of knowledge about the history of Peru.

Salkantay trek It's okay to do it!
It's a demanding adventure. But compensated for everything we've seen. The adventure was very manageable x the good organization of Reserv Cusco. Our guide Marco was spectacular friendly, knowledgeable of the history of Peru we had a very pleasant and nutritious diet.
It was 5 days of contact with nature and of course knowing Machupiccho is a dream come true

Unforgettable moments with the Salcantay trek through Cusco Reserve
This has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. It was a small group of five Argentinian kids and two Peruvians.
It is a demanding truck but very well compensated by the beautiful landscapes and different ecological soils,
We finally arrived at Machu Picchu, which is definitely a world wonder of Inca architecture.
