An unforgettable experience in Salkantay with Marvelosu Peru I did the Salkantay trek with Marvelosu Peru, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. From day one, the team demonstrated admirable professionalism: punctual, organized, and always attentive to our needs. Our guide was excellent; he knew every detail of the trail, enthusiastically explained the history and culture, and was also concerned about everyone's pace and well-being.The food throughout the trek was surprisingly good, varied, and plentiful, something truly appreciated on a demanding hike like Salkantay. The accommodations and campsites were very well prepared, clean, and comfortable.The scenery is simply spectacular: turquoise lagoons, breathtaking mountains, and a complete connection with nature. Thanks to Marvelosu Peru, I was able to enjoy the trek safely and without worries.I wholeheartedly recommend this agency to anyone who wants to experience Salkantay in an authentic, well-organized, and expertly guided way. An experience I will never forget!

An extraordinary walk, recommended!!. We did the Salkantay trek with this agency and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The organization was impeccable, the guides super attentive, knowledgeable and always willing to help. The food all the way through exceeded our expectations, and the logistics team made everything flow smoothly. Every landscape, every step, and especially the arrival at Machu Picchu, was simply unforgettable. I definitely recommend this agency if you are looking to live an authentic, safe and well organized adventure on the route of Salkantay.

Salkantay and Machupicchu I booked my tour to Salkantay 4 months ago and it was a fantastic experience.From the organization everything was excellent. I arrived in Cusco, Peru, a day before the tour, and that same day we were given a brief explanation about how the adventure would unfold.The next day we were picked up promptly and visited the beautiful lagoon of Humantay. The food was super delicious, thanks to our chef Erik, quite a chef!The next morning, we woke up early and our guide was already ready to start the walk to Salkantay. The route was a little exhausting, but it was totally worth it for the scenery: stunning nature, unique flora and fauna.Finally, we arrived in Aguas Calientes to finish our visit with the impressive Machu Picchu.An unforgettable experience, 100% recommended

Better than we expected! A very different region from the others, very interesting to listen to and learn about the local history, are many pools that are there since the pre-Inca period, more than 3,000, and the most magical is that it keeps the income of hundreds of families for years and years.
