Nuestro trek de 3 días fue increible, por el recorrido y paisajes, que son únicos, pero también por el equipo de guía, cocinero y arriero (Elio, Benigno y Mitchel). Elio fue nuestro guía y fue una gran fortuna contar con él. Elio mejoró la experiencia al máximo, combinando capacidad y conocimiento del lugar y la naturaleza, con cultura e historia incaica que supo transmitir con total pasión. Además, una calidad humana absoluta Si hacen este recorrido con esta empresa, consulten por su disponibilidad. La compañía es confiable en comparación con otras opciones, pero no quedamos muy conformes con los manejos.

Our Salkantay Trek with ITEP Expeditions Peru was more than we could ever have imagined and it surpassed all expectations From the beginning with Flor in the office at ITEP in Cusco .Her communication was clear and she was very patient with us .Exceptional service muchos Gracias Flor. I can't begin to describe the beauty of the Salkantay Track itself , it is a challenging yet immersive experience especially for our group of 4 age range between 59 to 71 years !! We were outliers in age on the track and a would advise that you should not take this Trek on with no multi day hiking experience especially if you are a bit older. We were led by our guide Santiago. This beautiful man was present with us every step of the 70 kilometres , both physically and emotionally through the rain, mud , steep ascents and descents to and from altitude, and the heat and cold of this incredible journey through this amazing part of Peru He understood the needs of everyone of the 4 of us in his group and was able to engage us all at our own level , encouraging, educating and advising in a humble and quiet way . His love of what he does, his country and his heritage was a humbling experience to be in his presence for these 5 days Santiago mi Amigo we can never express enough our thanks to you... you are what made our experience so humbling and non forgettable !!! We also had the privilege of travelling in the company of Julio our chef and Jenaro our Horseman These 2 beautiful men also made our trek memorable not only for their skill at providing amazing meals but transporting everything for us so we could be immersed in the splendour of this experience . It was humbling to share this time with these 2 amazing patient and humble men of the mountains , muchos Gracias amigos!! We can't recommend this hike through ITEP enough especially if you are a bit older The groups are smaller than the bigger groups full of younger hikers and the care and attention given to us can't be faulted Thankyou so much to everyone
