5.00It was a spectacular experience, it was 5 days of adventure, walking on wonderful trails, through the Andes as if by jungle eyebrow. Regarding the Care and Service was very good the guide Mauritius very attentive and know about the history of Peru. It was an excellent adventure although a little more demanding than traditional, I recommend to be in good physical condition!

5.00It's a demanding adventure. But compensated for everything we've seen. The adventure was very manageable x the good organization of Reserv Cusco. Our guide Marco was spectacular friendly, knowledgeable of the history of Peru we had a very pleasant and nutritious diet. It was 5 days of contact with nature and of course knowing Machupiccho is a dream come true
Unforgettable moments with the Salcantay trek through Cusco Reserve

5.00This has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. It was a small group of five Argentinian kids and two Peruvians. It is a demanding truck but very well compensated by the beautiful landscapes and different ecological soils, We finally arrived at Machu Picchu, which is definitely a world wonder of Inca architecture.
