Salkantay at an altitude above 15,000 feet before traversing around the mountains to arrive at Aguas Calientes. The trek is only a little more difficult than the Inca Trail, and horses are used to carry food and equipment.

Jose the tour guide and the rest of the crew at Andes Peru Tour and Adventure gave us a truly unforgettable and incredible experience on the 4 days trek to Machu Picchu.
Andes Peru Tour and Adventure do a fantastic job of organising the logistics of the hike so you can enjoy the stunning beauty that surrounds you at every turn. Jose was incredibly enthusiastic, knowledgable and knew all answers to our endless questions. The porters and the chef together worked some magic in the kitchen and together produced some of the best food we had in Peru. Seriously, we are talking 3 course meals in the middle of nowhere!

My friend and I planned a trip to Peru in order to visit the wonder of Machu Picchu and we also wanted to do some serious hiking and sightseeing along the way... luckily, we chose the Salkantay Trek led by Jose at Andes Peru Tour and Adventure. I had high hopes going into this trip and they were all surpassed by this fun, intense, beautiful, and unique 4-day trek.
Jose was an amazing tour guide - super fun and friendly and there was never a dull moment on the hike. We saw so many wild animals, beautiful sights, met wonderful people from all around the region, and pushed ourselves so that by the end of the trek I felt as if I had accomplished something truly worthwhile.
My friend and I had some hiking experience in the past and wanted to embark upon an adventure that would be the next level up -- this was surely it! We got into somewhat decent shape for the hike and the first day up to Salkantay was still quite intense! Intense -- but fun! I don't want to give too much of the hike away in this review as one of my favorite parts was learning about what we were going to see each day and choosing fun 'side-adventures'.
In summary, I cannot recommend the Salkantay Trek or Andes Peru Tour and Adventure enough!! This is a memory I will cherish for a long, long time. Thank you so much!

I booked this tour to Machu Picchu after carefully checking out the reviews of operators. The trek involved high altitude pass so wanted to ensure I was doing this with some experienced guys. Jose Ttito was my guide and he is a gem of a person. Extremely knowledgable and kind.

I had been planning this trip for years and wanted to make this lifetime trek a memorable one. After doing a lot of research I settled down for Andes Peru Tour and Adventure. Jose Ttito, the owner was quick to respond to all my queries while I was booking the tour from back home. He assured me that this indeed would be a memorable experience. Upon my arrival to Cusco, he picked me up from the airport and drove me to my hotel. On the way he gave me a brief introduction to the city and their culture and brought me some coca leaves to ensure that I qquickly get acclimatised. Before the day of the trek he walked into my hotel and briefed me on things to carry and to my surprise, he was mu guide throughout the trek. I felt extremely safe and felt like I was trekking this with a friend I had known for years. Jose´s sense of humor and knowledge on the history and culture was extremely impressive. I highly recommend them.
