reviewsTempo Riz wrote:Salkantay trek 5d/4n I chose this alternative to the inca trail, I expected quiet a lot about it... But it was even better !I was alone (juste because it's less famous than the inca way, lucky me) with Miguel, my really friendly and professional guide. I had a really great time with him, the arceolocal site, and the amazing landscapes.Arriving at loki jungle, the personal was really nice, all the meals and activities where perfectly planned and flexible. We took our time at Matchu pichu and the others days I went to the waterfalls, hot springs, and the last day we rafted, all of these are totally worth doing (don't worry, I also had time to relax)All included (and even more) I payed around 320$ (it is objectively really cheap).If you have some time, just do it ! :)

Emmastravelworldwide wrote:Salkantay tour with MariluzI would like to thank Mariluz for the moment. I went in the Salkantay. It was hard but Mariluz was always happy and with a big smile ! Now she is like a friend. I recommend her. She is professional and she knows a lot thing about the history of the place. She is very interesting.
