    The Ultimate Salkantay Trek 5D/5N with glass cabañas & hobbit house + hot tub jacuzzi was ABSOLUTELY amazing. Would recommend this trek to everyone. Our tour guides Javier and Victor were phenomenal. You could ask any question and they knew the answer and if you needed anything? They would immediately take care of it. We woke up everyday with an amazing view and a cup of hot tea. We were always the first one to arrive at a beautiful location to take pictures without any other hikers blocking the view. The food was delicious! Go book this trek if you love hiking, beautiful views and an adventure.

    I did a lot of research on different operators and am really happy I did the 5D/5N with Alpaca. They use a different schedule than most trekking companies so you're 1/2 a day ahead of the crowd, we always felt like we were the only ones on the trail. The food was delicious and the campsites were nice and clean, our guide Elisban was also very wonderful and took great care of us. Definitely would recommend!
