Amazing trek with the best guide I did the Inca trail to Machupicchu for 4 days and 3 nights, with Salkantay Trekkers Peru.Our organization was excellent I joined a group of 6 people.We had the briefing one night before our departure where our guide Jose gave us full information and some suggestions.The service was very good, with all the staff that we went from the first day between them it is worth mentioning the service of our Cheff and our porters who were the people who took our travel luggage.The whole group saw the desire to work as a team, and in a professional manner.Our Guide Jose very kind and attentive with all the group of tourists and the staff of the Agency.I had the best travel experience with this group and very organized, I congratulate the whole group for making me part of this unforgettable experience.I recommend this travel agency in Cusco, for those people who are interested in traveling to Machu Picchu.
