The food was very delicious, healthy and abundant.”

“Fantastic guides thank you Edwin and unbelievable food. Got sick night one at altitude after spending a few days in Cusco before we started and the guides didn’t have any meds or have accommodations to help (unless I paid a lot more money for a horse). Thankfully our group had some med school students with altitude meds and meds for all types of sickness that really helped. Overall fantastic and unforgettable experience just be more prepared with meds”

The experience was phenomenal from the beauty of the place to the high quality of service by our guide Carlos, the cook, and the horseman. We really felt like everything was made to attend to our needs. Although it was challenging for first timers to hike in high altitude, we were able to go at our own pace and still enjoy the experience fully.”

A small-group 5-day Ausangate trek from Cusco with passes, turquoise lakes, two hot springs, and ceremonies, plus full camping support and meals.
“Where to begin? A fabulous trek with an incredible team. There were two of us, and we were pampered by the Vidal Expedition team. Ansangate is a captivating mountain, and it must be experienced with people who reveal its spirituality to you. Every day we went from glacier to glacier, from color to color, from discovery to experience. The expedition was very comfortable with top-notch equipment transported by our horse driver Angel. We ate more than enough thanks to our cook Beni and our assistant cook Euden, and we were expertly guided by our guide Chino. Thank you all for your good humor and smiles, thank you for all these…”

There were many preparations to be made snd he managed all of them. Thank you Guido and Salkantay Trekking! Janet Wagner”
A 5-day Ultimate Lares Trek and Inca Trail route from Cusco with Lares hot springs, fewer crowds, Condor Pass, and Machu Picchu sunrise.
“I recently did the 3-day Lares Trek combined with the Short Inca Trail, and it was amazing! As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and well cared for by the entire team. Our guides, Anthony and Gilbert, were fantastic—they’re both from the region, so their knowledge of the area, history, and culture was incredible. Their passion really brought the trek to life, and they spoke great English, which made everything easier.”
5 days in Cusco with Sacred Valley, train to Aguas Calientes, guided Machupicchu, and Vinicunca 7 Colors trek, plus hotels and meals.
“I bought a 5 day package in Cuzco and the truth the Montecristo hotel was disappointing with a horrible buffet. As for the tours when not knowing Peru the first was Valle Sagrado, in my opinion it is not worth much, they did not offer me the mountain of colors, honestly I did not know that it was close but they should include it. Machu Pichu amazing. And in terms of value for money I found it expensive for everything offered.Auto-translated”
