Eddie was a fantastic guide and I had a blast. Food was very tasty from Lorenzo and the bags being transported by horse worked really perfectly.
Eddy was a great guide. Thanks for this route
The experience has been great. Salkantay trek 5d/4n, with the Paltitas Family!! We will recommend it 100%. Bryan, the guide, was a 10. Without him everything would have been different, we are very grateful to him for everything, he has been a blessing. Climaco's food has been a wonder, always a motivation to arrive for lunch or dinner to eat his food. Amilcar, the muleteer, his support was also very important, his coca tea every morning upon waking up was unforgettable. The truth is that the 3 of them have formed an incredible team that we have always been able to trust. Always with Bryan at the head, who has led the whole group with great professionalism and has left us all with an unforgettable experience. Go Paltitas Family!!!
It was an incredible experience! Our guide Gustavo made the experience even more memorable and what can I say about the food. Everything was perfect!
Our experience with Machu Picchu Jungle has been amazing. Our guide Eddy was really nice and had a lot of experience. The food was amazing (way better than expected) and every meal was huge. Accomodations were basic, but fine as well and fit perfectly within the trekking-experience. Would highly recommend Machu Picchu Jungle!
I did the Salkantay Trek (5 days / 4 nights) and overall it was a great experience. My guide Fernández was friendly and I had a lot of fun. Our cook also cooked excellently every day. Unfortunately, the company's communication was not particularly good. After the transfer, I had to ask myself if the money had arrived. In addition, I was first given the wrong time for the briefing the day before, so I had to come again later. Some additional costs were also not clearly communicated in advance. On the third day, the transport to the camp had to be paid for separately; furthermore, crossing a bridge cost another 3 Soles. At the last lunch and dinner in the restaurant, drinks were not included; at least water I would have expected.
Fernandez was the best guide I’ve ever had, he was so personable and amazing and I miss him dearly.
We did the Salkantay trek for 5 days with Bryan. I recommend this guide without hesitation, who allowed us to have an unforgettable time. Thank you Bryan
Was a great trip. Really well organised and a lotta fun. Amazing views and activities. The agency were super helpful throughout. Abel, our guide was brilliant. Such a nice guy who always looked out for everyone and provided us a great experience.
This was an incredible + life changing experience. Abel is a very kind and knowledgeable guide. He made us all feel like a family! Our chef German was also excellent!!!! It was a lot of walking but was nice knowing that we were taken care of! The value for the money is unbeatable. I would definitely book again :)
