    Best experience of my life with Wilbert! Although it was the most challenging mental and physical journey, it was also the most awarding. Wilbert was kind , knowledgeable, and flexible. We saw the most beautiful parts of Salkantay trek and Cusco. Highly recommend to ANYONE who is coming to Peru.

    I did the 5-day tour to Salkantay, the Inkayni agency is very careful, everything very well organized, the places to sleep very nice and comfortable. Our guide Herlin was very friendly and with a good command of English and a great facility to make the group feel like a family, very attentive to everyone. The food was abundant, hot, varied, and delicious. A muleteer carries your big backpack, which makes the experience much more comfortable. I took pictures of beautiful landscapes that cannot be described in words. I would definitely hire the agency again for this and other treks.

    I did the 5 day Salkantay - Machupicchu trek, one of the best experiences of my life! I was fortunate to have Percy Huaman and Justino as guides, both excellent guides and great people with great knowledge and passion for their work and culture. Even though we were a large group, they were always attentive to everyone's needs and our safety. The food was delicious, the service of the cooks and muleteers was A1. The campsites had excellent views of the surroundings. I recommend booking directly with Inkayni and live an amazing experience.

    I did the Salkantay 5 days with Inkayni Peru Tours and everything was excellent, starting with Herlin Apaza, our guide. A professional that in addition to his knowledge as a good tour guide you can tell he enjoys what he does and transmits his love and respect for the mountain. I would choose him again to do any other trek without hesitation! Besides that, I am very satisfied with all the services of the company, the food was incredible every day, the equipment and camping facilities are excellent. The trek was the best experience I have had in Peru and what a great way to end it by visiting Machu Picchu. In large part, it was a beautiful experience because I was lucky enough to find this company. Highly recommended.

    Excellent alternative trekking to the Inca Trail, 100% recommendable, we formed an incredible human group, the food was unmatched and the service at all times was spectacular. Our guide was Saul, a person who knows a lot about this route, he was always attentive to our needs, very cool and the best guide we met in Peru! Incredible trekking and landscapes! Unforgettable experience. The price-quality balance with Inkayni is excellent.

    The organization of the company is worthy of admiration, from the excellent and prepared guides to the rest of the team of muleteers and cooks. Our guide was Persy Huaman, from whom we learned many things, very professionally prepared, kind, very pleasant. Without him, our experience would not have been the same. This route is beautiful, to anyone who does not get tickets for the Inca Trail (as happened to us), I highly recommend this route and what better if you do it with Inkayni. Many congratulations for the service we received from this company.

    I made my reservation for the 5-day Salkantay Trek several months in advance. They wrote to me and gave me a briefing the day before the trek started. The Trek in general is quite physically demanding. But the places you pass through are breathtaking! The agency not only fulfilled all that was promised but also exceeded the expectations of all the members of the group. Justin was our guide. A genius. He told us a lot of history and customs during the Trek. Very cool and competent. The meals are something to highlight. The Trek includes breakfast, lunch and dinner. Super recommended according to my experience. Both the trek and the agency, all the equipment, the guide and the cooks, everything was incredible.

    We loved the Salkantay trek. The landscapes are spectacular, I dare say they are the best in Cusco. We did the 5 day trek with the Inkayni agency, everything is very well organized. Guide, cook and muleteers, all fulfilled their job perfectly. The food was on time and delicious, the guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about Inca history and culture. Above all, and I repeat, the landscapes were fantastic!

    I highly recommend this tour company for the Salkantay trek which I did 5 days and 4 nights to Machu Picchu. I was overwhelmed and even a little embarrassed by how well I was treated and the great level of service I received. We did the route with Inkayni. We preferred this route over the Inca trail. Much more scenic, with no crowds. We were able to enjoy waterfalls, snow capped mountains, lots of vegetation and many more things that I challenge you to discover. It was everything we hoped it would be. No last minute surprises, the guide Paul was very efficient and helpful. From my own experience I could say that you can trust this Inkayni company for any trip to Peru.
