We were a group of four girls, all 24 years old! It was an incredible experience! Genrri was an excellent guide, and our chef, Ricardo, was fantastic; he prepared vegetarian lunch and dinner for us every day. I highly recommend it!

We did the 4 day and 3 night Salkantay Trek on the 27th of July, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. I couldn't recommend it enough, especially with Machu Picchu Teams.Everything exceeded our expectations from the accommodation and food to the organisation and most importantly, the amazing staff. Our guide Max made the experience so special. He taught us so much about the Quechua way of life and Inca traditions at every stop along the trek, which gave us such a good appreciation for the places we were visiting. He was also so much fun to be around, always making us laugh and keeping everyone's spirits high, even during the toughest parts of the hike. His positivity, encouragement and knowledge really made the experience unforgettable.A huge thank you as well to our chefs, especially Braulio, the head chef. We genuinely couldn't believe the quality of the food considering where we were. Every meal was so fresh and delicious and they had lots of vegetarian options too. We were given three generous meals a day which also included starters at lunch and dinner, plus snacks along the way. It was far beyond anything we expected on a trek.What really sets this company apart is the people. Max wasn't just a guide he genuinely cared about everyone in the group and always made sure we were doing okay. He knew exactly when to encourage us on the harder climbs, when to make us laugh, and when to stop to tell us another story about the history and culture of the area. He gave us a group name and gathered us every morning to do a chant together to get us ready for the day. You can tell he loves what he does and his passion made the whole trek so much more meaningful.The entire team was so kind and welcoming, and they made us feel looked after from start to finish. If you're thinking of doing the Salkantay Trek, I couldn't recommend Machu Picchu Teams more. It was an unforgettable experience, and we're so grateful to everyone who made it so special.

This tour is full of adventures and blessings. The exciting bicycle descent from the Andes took us through changing landscapes to the tropical rainforest. The hike through the jungle, led by an expert guide, allowed us to learn about the local flora and fauna. The RAFTING and ZIPLINING activities added excitement to the trip and were perfectly organized. The natural hot springs were an ideal place to relax after days full of activities. The visit to Machu Picchu was the highlight, with its impressive architecture and view. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a combination of adventure, nature, and culture.

Frequently asked questions
For popular departures, it is better to reserve early, especially in high season. This gives you more control over dates, guide availability, transport, and hotel options when the route includes overnight stays.
Many tours are suitable for first-time visitors. The best option depends on your available time, comfort level, walking experience, and whether you prefer a shared group or private service.
Some itineraries follow fixed logistics, while private services allow more flexibility. If you need a softer pace, special hotel category, or extra cultural stops, choose a private or tailor-made option.
Before choosing, compare duration, difficulty, inclusions, departure times, altitude, and return logistics.
Recommendations
Choose shorter routes if your itinerary is tight or you prefer easier logistics.
Choose multi-day routes if scenery, local contact, and gradual pacing matter more.
Choose private service when comfort, timing, or family pace needs extra flexibility.

Lo que realmente distingue al Camino del Inca de cualquier otra ruta es el acceso exclusivo a yacimientos arqueológicos remotos a lo largo del recorrido. Lejos del alcance de los tours tradicionales, explorará ruinas impresionantes como el hermoso Phuyupatamarca (la Ciudad en las Nubes), con sus terrazas, y el impresionante complejo agrícola de Wiñay Wayna (Siempre Joven). Estas ciudadelas ocultas, a las que solo se puede acceder a pie, ofrecen una visión tranquila e íntima del genio arquitectónico de la civilización inca.
El punto culminante de tu expedición es un momento que quedará grabado en tu memoria para siempre. La última mañana, te levantarás antes del amanecer y harás el último esfuerzo a través de la selva para llegar a Inti Punku, la legendaria Puerta del Sol. A medida que se disipe la niebla matinal, serás recompensado con tu primera y sobrecogedora vista de la ciudadela de Machu Picchu bañada por la luz dorada del alba: un privilegio reservado exclusivamente a quienes han completado el camino.

Reusable water bottle and personal snacks for longer days.
Comfortable walking shoes with good grip and support.
Passport or ID required for tickets, entrances, and check-ins.
Small daypack for essentials you need during the tour.
Preparation
Confirm the itinerary, pickup time, meeting point, difficulty level, and what is included before finalizing the reservation.
Arrive with time to acclimatize when possible, drink water, and pack layers because conditions can change during the day.
