4 Day Trek with Awesome Guides
Had an amazing time. Views are wonderful, food is great, and the guides/ staff were awesome. Appreciate Filio and Evans so much
Amazing time!!
The most amazing staff who were very positive and cheering us on the entire trek. Ángel and Migel were amazing support through the trek, wish sharing information about their culture, stoping to explain different parts through the Salkantay Trek, and also assisting with learning more of the local language. The food team was amazing, with lots of yummy and warm food for each meal, with Jimmy always coming around with a smile on his face, and Erika being there to quickly clean up after us which was very appreciated. The 4 day trek was perfect length, with lots to do each day, with also a good amount of rest time to recuperate. The places we stayed were amazing and clean, with the first night being a bit chilly due to it being high so make sure to pack some stuff to keep you warm, with also having lighter clothes as you get into the other days with being in the Jungle.
Fantastic experience
What a fantastic trip. It was superbly organized and excellently guided from start to finish! You can tell that TreXperience has been in this business for a long time: everything was perfectly arranged, from the booking process and pre-trip briefing to the attention to every detail, pick-ups, and logistics along the way. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. A special thank you to our guide, Juan, who enriched the journey with his in-depth knowledge of Peru’s ancient and contemporary culture. It was also incredible to see what happens behind the scenes each day: the kitchen team, horsemen, and assistants worked tirelessly to make this a truly memorable experience. Well done, everyone! It is no surprise that you are the number one trekking company in Cusco. Keep up the great spirit, passion, and customer focus. Tom & Severine / CH
I recommend it to everyone.
Abelardo was our tour guide. I couldn't have asked for a better one; his knowledge and enthusiasm regarding the history were outstanding. He created the right atmosphere and ensured everyone felt at ease. I truly had the best tour.
See you next time
Alex is the best guide ever and took care of everyone in the group individually and together. Alberto is a great match and knew how to give a hand before even asking. The kitchen staff operated as a machine, we didn’t miss anything.
