Did this four day Salkantay Trek with them as the Inca Trail was sold out. It was very pleasant experience and Richard, our guide took great effort inmaking this trip a memorable one. The camping sites were located in quiet parts of the trek, giving us opportunity to get good rest after a day full of hike. The food were all freshly cooked and authentic. Highly recommend
Thank you very much for the tour with our company. Best regards.
An unforgettable experience Excellent attention the very friendly guides. Contacting the tripadvisor company was the best choice made our trip something amazing. Everything was very well organized thanks for the good service.
