My husband and I journeyed to Peru for 11 days, 7 of the days on The Salkantay Trail to hike to Machu Picchu. During the hike, we stayed at four Mountain Lodges: Salkantay Lodge, Wayra Lodge, Colpa Lodge and Lucma Lodge. From the guides, to porters, lodges and food, everything was amazing! I highly recommend it!

My friend and I did the six night/seven day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and it was excellent…The sights and trekking experience were 100% first rate! I learned some history, some nature, and had a great physical experience with all the walking. For the record, I am a 49 year old woman in good shape – active but not an athlete. It was challenging but totally doable. I’m very glad I did this trek. It was a life experience.

I absolutely loved the Salkantay Trek! No day hikes too daunting, the lodges & food were way beyond expectations, and guides friendly & supportive. I can’t say enough enough good things about my experience!

Stayed at Salkantay Lodge a few years ago for a few days and loved it. Hiked to Salkantay and Humantay with a guide and a horse for backup. Wonderful experience.
