⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The 7-day Salkantay package was perfect for my limited vacation time. Those two acclimatization days in Cusco were absolutely crucial, I saw other trekkers struggling who'd skipped that step. The 4-day trek hit all the highlights without feeling rushed, and our guide knew exactly when to push us and when to take breaks. Crossing Salkantay Pass was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the cloud forest section was beautiful. The camping comfortable, and the food was surprisingly good!. Seeing Machu Picchu after such a journey made it so much more meaningful than if I'd just taken the train. Thank you Salkantay!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐With limited high-altitude experience, I was nervous about the Salkantay Trek. The 7 day package with proper acclimatization was exactly what I needed. Those first two days in Cusco allowed me to adjust gradually while learning about Inca history. Once on the trail, our guide monitored everyone closely and adjusted the pace. The 4 day hiking portion was challenging but never overwhelming, and the reduced group size (just 8 people) created a wonderful camaraderie. Our campsite locations offered stunning views. The final day at Machu Picchu exceeded all expectations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We chose the 7-day Salkantay Trek for our honeymoon adventure and couldn't be happier with our decision. The hiking portion delivered all the spectacular scenery. The two acclimatization days in Cusco were fascinating, our guide's knowledge of Inca history brought the sites to life. On the trek itself, crossing Salkantay Pass was a memorable achievement we accomplished together. The contrast between alpine glaciers and lush cloud forest on the same trek was amazing. The comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes was perfectly timed after three nights in tents. This experience offered the perfect balance of adventure and comfort.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐After researching different Salkantay options, I chose the 7day package specifically for its smart acclimatization schedule and trekking route. The two preparation days in Cusco prevented the headaches and fatigue I saw other trekkers suffering from. Our guide shared fascinating insights about native plants and Andean traditions that added depth to the journey. The campsite locations were spectacular. Will recommend, thanks!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Despite being challenging and sometimes discouraging, my hike to the Machu Picchu Mountain was nothing short of amazing. The guides and cooks and horsemen were so wonderful, friendly and encouraging. At moments when I felt like turning around down the mountain, they told me I was capable and they were somehow correct. I highly recommend this trek to anyone seeking an exciting challenge that they can most likely do - even if they believe they can't. My husband and I really enjoying this journey together as we really had to be there for each other and encourage and help each other. We also met many interesting folks in our group and on the way.
