The 4-day express Salkantay Trek delivers everything promised with expert efficiency! Having hiked extensively in the Andes, I appreciated how this itinerary is organized. The guide was great, camping was comfortable, food was excellent, and ending with the magic of Machu Picchu created the perfect adventure narrative.

We chose the 4-day express Salkantay Trek because of limited vacation time, and it exceeded all expectations! The highlight was undoubtedly the Cocalmayo Hot Springs—arriving there after conquering Salkantay Pass created the perfect contrast between physical challenge and natural reward. The therapeutic properties of the mineral waters prepared our bodies for the remaining journey. We appreciated how the transportation allowed us to experience different ecosystems within a single day—from glacial peaks to lush thermal springs. Our guide was knowledgeable about local flora and Inca history. The final Machu Picchu visit felt wonderfully earned after our journey. Thank you Salkantay Team!

The four day Salkantay trek was a varied, difficult and rewarding experience. We started with a two day trek up to the Salkantay pass, up a grueling path known as the 'gringo killer' to reach 4600m. We then went down the valley into the rain forest, with an immensely refreshing dip into hot springs. A few (or a few too many) celebratory drinks we had that night, but luckily we started the next day with exhilarating zip lining across the valley rather than any hard treking. We then followed the train tracks into Aguas Calientes, with a refreshing dip into the icy cold river along the way. The food was great - difficult to believe it was camp food at times, and our guide was both friendly and very knowledgable. Overall it was a once in a life time experience, and I would recommend it highly for anyone not afraid to push themselves a bit for a rewarding trek.

As a solo female traveler and photographer, this 4-day express Salkantay Trek gave me exactly what I needed. Having spent a week in Cusco already, I was well-acclimatized and ready for Salkantay's challenges. The absolute highlight was capturing sunset at Cocalmayo Hot Springs—the golden light illuminating steam rising from the pools against mountain backdrops created images impossible with standard itineraries. Our small group became bonded through the shared challenge of Salkantay Pass and the communal relaxation in the thermal waters. The guide's knowledge of optimal photography locations throughout the trek was impressive. Perfect balance of adventure and efficiency.

The 4-day express Salkantay Trek perfectly balances time efficiency with authentic experience. After researching many options, I chose this itinerary specifically for its smart use of transportation and the enhanced Cocalmayo Hot Springs visit. The springs proved to be the unexpected highlight of my entire Peru journey! After the demanding ascent and descent of Salkantay Pass, soaking in those thermal pools felt like discovering a secret paradise. The camping was comfortable, and meals were surprisingly varied and delicious. I will recommend this company to my friends and family, Thanks.
