This trek was an outstanding experience for us with Guido and his team (Masanciano, Victor and Hugo). The first 2 days are challenging, but extremely rewarding with the breathtaking views of the Humantay and Salkantay mountains. The camping sites are so private, peaceful and isolated, which really put our minds strongly on a vacation mindset!

We had Masanciano as our chef, and his every meal was so special, impressively elaborate and delicious. He even taught us how to make some simple staple Peruvian dishes!

Throughout the trek, Guido demonstrated an incredible mastery of the trail territory, weather, and fund of knowledge to go along for an amazing experience. He also served as our guide in Machu Picchu, going over so many mind blowing aspects of Inca culture and scientific achievements, which far exceeded our expectations of quite a hyped place to visit.

We highly recommend this trek without reservations.

We recently embarked on the 4-day Salkantay Trek, and it was an adventure we'll never forget! Our guide, Paul, truly made the journey exceptional with his wealth of knowledge about the Incas. He shared captivating stories that added layers of depth to our experience, making each step along the trail even more meaningful.

But it wasn't just Paul who made this trip unforgettable; Mr. Cristobal, our chef, deserves immense praise as well. His culinary skills were nothing short of extraordinary. We were treated to a variety of delicious andean dishes throughout the trek, each meal a delightful surprise after a day of hiking.

From the breathtaking scenery to the fascinating history shared by Paul, and the mouthwatering meals crafted by Mr. Cristobal, every aspect of this trek exceeded our expectations. We cannot recommend this experience enough to anyone seeking an adventure in the Peruvian Andes. Thank you to Paul, Mr. Cristobal, and the entire team for making this journey truly memorable!

Very well organised and fun trip. Percy, our guide, was full of local knowledge and wisdom and shared wonderful stories. The food was fantastic, especially considering it was cooked in a tent. I felt very safe and looked after the whole time

It goes without saying that the trip itself is fantastic, but what's more worth noting is how an already incredible experience was made all the more amazing by our guiding team!

Our tour guide Yiyo was so fun, patient, and knowledgeable. He kept us entertained with great stories; educated us with so many facts about Peru's history and culture; thoughtfully accommodated any injuries or illnesses anyone in our group was dealing with; and generally always kept our spirits high.

Our chef Zacarias was so creative and meticulous, making consistently delicious and traditional multi-course meals for every meal yet still never once repeating a dish. Even his meals to accommodate the dietary restrictions of one person were still just as carefully planned and prepared as the rest of the group's. He also surprised us with a cake to congratulate us for having finished the hardest parts of the trek.

Our porter Victor was working tirelessly to transport our bags between campsites then continuing to help with other labour at each campsite. Lugging our (unintentionally overweight) bags and corralling all the animals who carried them couldn't have been an easy task, and still I never saw him not lending a hand or helping out even at our sites.

Endlessly thankful to these three wonderful people for always going above and beyond to make the trek as unforgettable as it was!

This was a well organized and personalized experience for our family of four with two young adult sons.

Our guide Guido Chavez and his team were super friendly and helpful. They took great care of us and accompanied us all along. I got sick during the trip and they were super considerate and took extra measures to help me. Special meals, teas, setting up an extra tent for me to rest (while the rest of the group hiked), sent a horse to pick me up when my knees cave in.
You get to bond with Guido like family, he is dedicated, knowledgeable and very caring. Thank you for a great experience!

We had planned this trip in 2020 but kept pushing until finally we could take it this year. My wife and 2 adult sons always wanted to visit Machu Picchu but wanted to add some adventure to it by crossing the Salkantay Pass. Communication with Inkayni was flawless, always responsive and to the point whenever I had a question (which were many!). They accommodated all our changes and preferences for dates, itinerary, hotels and extra activities. Our trip ended up as a custom-tailored itinerary that worked perfectly for our family.
During the trip, Guido Chavez was our guide. We can't say enough great things about his committment to making our vacation an unforgetable one. He quickly captured the various personalities in our family and took the time to get to know all of us during our long walks/hikes surrounded by amazing views and motivated us to keep going when the trails got hard. As he was doing that, he suggested changes to our itinerary to maintain the balance between challenging and enjoyable. This is not an easy trek and we finished it super tired but we will always remember the incredible nature, the awe-inspiring mountains, breathtaking starry skies and warm people that made it possible: Cristobal (our cook), Victor (our carrier and mule handler) and Guido, who coordinated everything to perfection. If you plan a trip to Cusco/Machu Picchu you can't go wrong with Inkayni and Guido as your guide.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I landed in Peru with all my luggage lost by the airlines, and inkayni’s representative that met me in the airport was so helpful to give me a list of where to go and what to buy including the price range. I managed to get everything i needed in town.
A big thank you to Ceasar, my guide for taking care of me in the 5 day trek to machu picchu- he was very funny and knowledgeable. And to Er Nino (chef) and Victor (horseman) that made the best food during my visit to peru, and Victor for his amazing skills of ferrying me up the mountain when my feet were giving up.
Don’t think twice- book with Inkayni! It will be the trip of your lifetime

What an amazing experience with Inkayni. My girlfriend and I did the 4 Day Salkantay trek with Guido as our guide.

The trek was beautiful and everything about the experience was executed seamlessly. Guido was an amazing guide who cared for our every need and had significant expertise about the history of the mountains and culture. We highly recommend this trek!
