When considering Salkantay trekking reviews, it’s essential to look for recent and comprehensive feedback from reputable sources. Reviews can vary based on the individual experiences of trekkers, but a few common themes may emerge regarding the Salkantay trek.
Positive aspects often mentioned in reviews may include the stunning scenery along the trek, with highlights such as the Salkantay Mountain, Humantay Lake, and the diverse landscapes encountered throughout the journey.

An Awesome Travel Experience in 2023 – 2024
I along with my friend group visited the Salkantay trek in November 2023. All the landscapes were mesmerizing. The camp and the Peruvian classic food was just awesome.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE – 5 DAY SALKANTAY TREK – CARLOS (THE MOUNTAIN KING)
This 5 day trek has definitely been the highlight of our trip to Peru this year. We have been looked after from start to finish by Carlos (The mountain King) ensuring we have been comfortable every step of the way.
The accommodation has been a gods send with occasional hot showers and most of all a bed to sleep and recover for the next day of trekking.
We have been fed the best Peruvian food each day by the lovely Alejandro who would make sure meals where prepped before we arrived to the campsite along with all our luggage / belongings brought by Fernando and his horses.
The team have been amazing and have made this a trip to remember!

5D SALKANTAY WITH KJ
The 5 day Salkantay trek was the adventure of a lifetime. KJ was an incredible guide and made sure that our group was taken care of and well informed going into each day. We did the premium version and enjoyed the extra inclusions.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
The 5-day trek exceeded all my expectations. First & foremost, I have to thank our guide KJ for such an unforgettable experience. He had the most thorough briefings, high level knowledge base, excellent expectation management skills, and ability to adapt to varying circumstances. He is clearly passionate about Peru’s history and taught us so much about every location we encountered. The food will blow your mind – literally multi course meals when you’re expecting camp dining. The accommodations are the definition of glamping – beautiful views and all the needed comforts. Machu Picchu will leave you breathless. I would highly recommend this company and if you’re lucky enough to have KJ as your guide, prepare for a magical and rewarding trip! Thank you so much!! Bring extra socks!

Best thing on 2023
How do I even start? Without my tour guide Pabel, I probably won’t be able to finish my trip at all. Facing multiple unexpected situations such as my hiking boots broke on the first 30mins on trail, my mountain sickness, my lousy steps… Pabel helped me with kindness and patience. He’s experienced, fun and organized all things perfectly for us. Another highlight of our trip is the service from our chef, “David copperfield”Rosalio. He is well deserved this nickname and I not only enjoyed every meal, but has the privilege to try out all the wholesome Peruvian home cooking. Shout out to the entire Salkantay team and you all made my trip and I am so greatful! I wish the best for you all and your familiesShow less

Fredy is the best!!
We booked a 7 day whirlwind tour of all the sights and trekking around Cusco with Salkantay Trekking for our family of five. This amazing experience was made perfect by Fredy Zapata. Every day was filled with rich history, interesting historical sites and beautiful high altitude mountains. This was our first time to South America and Peru and we hope to visit again!!Show less

Humantay Lake & Salkantay Pass 2D
We did the Humantay Lake & Salkantay Pass 2D with Porfi as our guide. He made the trip comfortable & safe. We didn’t feel rushed all thru the trek. Thanks, Porfi! As for the sky camp, it has shared toilets & dining room. It is beyond the typical tent camping with the comfort of the a bed, pillows & blankets. But, it felt very cold at night specially when it rained while we were there. It could’ve been better to have wood furnace inside & some hooks to hang clothes to dry. The food is delicious & plenty! The chef typically prepared 3 course meals with appetizer, mains & dessert. you won’t get hungry at any time. I wish there was wifi in the van, it was a long drive to/from Cusco. it will help let the time pass while travelling.Show less
