Private Salkantay Trek 5 Days – Hike to Machu Picchu
Description
A new and good alternative of trekking, for before the adventure and those people who did not find a place for the Inca Trail – classic of Machu Picchu. This alternative leads us to the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu with landscapes between Lakeons, mountains like the skies of the Humantay and Salkantay, a route of our ancestors where we can appreciate a progression of the diverse ecological floors, crossing by mighty rivers, in the mountain range we visited Thermus-Natural Waters; entering the region of the eyebrow of forest of abundant tropical vegetation, appreciating flowers of different colours, birds like the Colibri and parrots of the humid forests. The last day of trekking very early we will visit the Lost City of Incas – Machu Picchu and that same day in the evening we return to Cusco.

Super nice views, very good experience, good food. Guide with a lot of knowledge. Tour operated by KB tours operators company
We did this hike with friends and it is an experience that we will not forget, we saw snow, unique landscapes and despite the cold we were very excited about this Trek. Fredy was our guide and he gave us spectacular attention. In addition, the camping equipment was of high quality and high quality.
Highly recommended. Thank you Fredy for the experience in the EU you guided us! An unbeatable experience as a family and with Fredy's great team! He was very friendly and patient with an injured colleague. I highlight the goodness of the human team since the route does not need references, the Salkantay road is undoubtedly beautiful and with the company of Fredy and his entire team it doubles the goodness of the experience! Simply thanks!!
Unforgettable, unique experience. Fredy, starting as our guide becoming our friend at the end of the road. Total genius, always aware that you are having a good time, very committed and responsible with everything. It manages to convey that love for nature and the locality that makes it unique. Always exchanging cultures and anecdotes that makes it very interesting. Truthfully, a beautiful experience I will always remember. Thank you Minka Expedition for these amazing days. Thanks Fredy.
Fantastic experience from start to finish the guide and chef and assistance along the way made it very comfortable
I chose this agency based on reviews and I was not mistaken I did the salkantay walk 4 nights and 5 days. It was a fantastic experience. One of the best experiences of my life. Food, overnight stays, driving, information all above my expectations and also the price: a bargain.
Hi! We made 2 departures: 1. Trekking 4 days: Humantay, Salkantay Peak and Machu Pichu. 2. Lagoon of 7 colors. In the 2 starts the guide was Fredy, I don't think you can have a better guide. Everything was perfect: planning, punctuality, flexibility in the route (if we were going faster or slower, in fact we changed the route to go to the Cocalmayo baths), attention, treatment, explanations, you can not ask for more. The team that did the trekking with us spectacular. Maria super attentive and nice all the time made us feel very comfortable, as if we were there with more friends. Amazing experience, out of 10.
Fredy is great, an amazing trekking the unbeatable treatment, he is always watching everything and you could tell he is a very experienced guide. It was an unforgettable experience and I am glad I gained a good friend. I hope the next one we can do a more day hike.
It was the best tour I ever bought and I did, everything is a unique and spectacular experience, it is worth walking to salkantay and Machupicchu and enjoy beautiful landscapes, pure air and full of energy, the panorama of snowfall while you tour is one of the most impressive things, we were very lucky to join us Fredi who is an excellent guide and very familiar person with path and always take care of us.
Salkantay is a great place very spectacular, the guide knew very well the way, excellent professional, it was an adventure, a great trekking, beautiful snowfall, we liked the camp, we enjoyed a good company, lunch and hot drinks, were 5 surprising days this treking this made for adventurous walkers, the tour was perfect.. THE TOP IS BREATHING VERY POSITIVE ENERGY.
