  • Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N reviewer 1
    · July 3rd, 2019
    Since my friend and I did the 4 (instead of 5) day Salkantay trek, Junior was our second guide as off the 3rd day. He picked us up on time from the meeting point and brought our luggage to our room. Our next day and last day, was THE big and exciting visit to Machu Pichu. Junior accompanied us by bus in the mornig and gave us the historic background on top the sit. He told us where to go, handed over the return bus and train tickets and then left us at 10 o'clock to roam around on our own. We were very surprised and even more disappointed since he didn't accompany on the Machu Picchu site....after all it was the epidamy of our whole visit to Peru ! We even feel cheated, since we paid dearly for a 4 day trek and the last one was just a farce. For all that matters, he also could have talked about the history in the restaurant the night before and just given us us the bus tickets. We're still quite upset about this. All the more since we couldn't help notice that most people had all the explications on the site, wile enjoying a fully guided tour.....meanwhile, we were just wandering around.... BUT, our first guide, Niko, was absolutely great. 5 stars for his excellent care and attention. He even got in touch after in order to ask us about our MP visit. He was surprised also and assured us that he ALWAYS accompanies his groups. Such a shame we didn't have him for our last day !

    5 stars from my side.I was little skeptical in my mind whether i would be able to pull off this trek but Bamba experience made it extremely comfortable. We had all our questions timely answered and requirement timely fulfilled. The tour guide Percy Gonza was generous enough to share local stories and made us really comfortable.

    Beautiful is the word. We were travelling to this part of the world for the first time and we have experienced the best of this part of the world. Our travelling partner Bamba experience was hands on and gave us what we had subscribed for, the tour guide gave us various insights of the region as well as the culture.

    This ranks among the best treks i have ever had and i have had quite a few in my life. To start with Salkantay trek itself was an exciting prospect for me. The mountainous ranges and the weather made the entire trip memorable. Special word for my tour operator Bamba Experience was conducting this tour very efficiently. The tour guide too was very good.

    Our trip started in beautiful Cuzco and then we were on the adventurous trek of Salkantay to Machu Picchu. It was one of the best experience of my life. The trip covers 4 more destinations in Peru. It was guided tour and the tour guide was very helpful. Other arrangements like camping, stay, food, travelling was also very nice.

    We were thinking for going for a trek for over a year. Upon surfing internet we chanced upon Bamba and reserved our tour and it turned out to be a great decision. The Salkantay trek was physically challenging but visually beautiful. The meal arrangement was too good, we had informed them about our preference and we were delivered what we had asked for. The guide was kind and jolly. Superb experience.

    Trekking is always physically taxing, but when you are provided with most basic things that are required it becomes easy. Bamba experience arranged this tour keeping the requirement of the travelers in mind. Brilliantly planned executed trip. The meals were delicious, stay in a hotel and camping too was very comfortable, the guide was very knowledgeable. Wonderful experience.
