I went to do the track with Dad, we got amazing company and everything. The guide was very kind and very professional. He took care to keep everyone together and wait for everyone. The food was great and we got to eat this amazing food in such a beautiful landscape.
Fantastic experience at Lake Humantay and Salkantay Mountain. Saul is a very good and kind guide. A unique experience.
The trails are not easy, but worth it for all the beauty and energy of the local nature. The guide Saul Incagonzalez was a great guide, very helpful and patient.

Excellent experience, and our guide Ricardo is the best. This tour is highly recommended.
Everything was excellent: the guide, the transportation, and the campsite. The food was also spectacular.
Great experience! Our guide, Marco, was super helpful, experienced and knowledgeable.
This was a great experience. Perfect weather and great views. The Sky Camp’s glassed pods were very cool - also literally, but the sleeping bag and hot water bottle helped a lot - and the food was good and copious. Our guide, Marco, was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Fantastic 2 day, 1 night experience. Our guide Saul was excellent. The skypods gave us a great view of the stars. The food and snacks were filling and tasty
