Our main guide Claudio was excellent. Always on time and nothing was too much trouble. Our Machu Pichu guides Yendry and Carlos deserve a special mention for the care and patience they showed on the Inca trail that enabled everyone to finish. A great experience that I would thoroughly recommend.

I had an amazing experience doing the 5 day Salkantay trek with Valencia. Our guide Victor was so fun and knowledgeable. The whole crew took very good care of our group. All of the meals prepared by chefs Guido and Climaco were delicious and extremely nutritious. Incredible views and challenging hikes. The first day is an easier hike with a total of 6 miles, but the mileage goes all the way up to 16 miles on day 4. Definitely try to arrive in Cusco at least two days before starting the hike in order to acclimate to the high altitude.

An amazing and unique experience combining the great outdoors (mountains, vistas and campsites) with a sense of adventure whilst always being guided and challenged by Guido, THE Guide.

Mijail was our guide and we could not have asked for a better experience. He was able to be our trekking guide, naturalist and fellow bird enthusiast, cultural interpreter and native advocate, all while keeping us safe as there were sections of the trail closed due to landslides. He pivoted plans seamlessly and allowed us to have an unforgettable week. Everything felt custom to us and we walked away feeling like family. Mario & Luís were our chefs who provided delicious and creative local dishes (and comfort food when we needed it). We had multiple courses at every meal and it was all beyond expectations. They along with our kind horsemen set up camp ahead of us every day so that we could extend our hiking and let ourselves get distracted by the beauty, nature, and wildlife without worrying about time, not to mention this was some of the most fun and inspiring hiking we’ve ever done. From the moment we landed in Cusco to returning nearly a week later, we were totally in their hands the entire time. The office team made the logistics easy, going above and beyond to accommodate our schedule after the airline canceled one of our flights and we needed to get back to Cusco earlier than anticipated. We were beyond thrilled by this experience and would absolutely book another trip with them given the chance!

We could not have asked for a better experience on this trek! I did the 4-day Inca Trail trek back in 2019 and heard about the Salkantay trek at that time. I knew I had to come back and experience it, and I'm SO glad I did. Our guide, Aldo, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, personable, and had a reverence and respect for the mountain that was absolutely beautiful. The Salkantay trek is wonderfully different at every turn, and it was an honor to be along for this wild, exciting ride.

This was an incredible trek! My wife and I did the Inca Trail with Valencia back in 2019 and just HAD to bring our friends back with us to do the Salkantay. With Aldo as our guide, we had an unforgettable time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the land and the history of the Inca Empire. But, most importantly, he was really in touch with the needs and wants of the group. Cannot say enough good things about the experience and our guide!

This was the PERFECT experience. Aldo is an incredible guide. I trust the man with my life! The Salkantray trek was the most beautiful, challenging, and rewarding trek we’ve experienced. Would recommend Valencia Travel, Aldo, and this particular experience to everyone.

This was an impromptu trip. But, it was an amazing one. Valencia travel had arranged a great trip at a very budget friendly price. All the accommodations before and the during the trek was better than expected. My guide was a very funny and committed to job kind of person, who knew a lot about the history of Peru and the mountains. I was the only English speaking person in the group and he didn't make me realize that. I would definitely go back again next year with Valencia travels

I requested an all inclusive trip airport-airport. It was an excellent experience. The company were in touch weeks prior to the trip to help me prepare for it. They were very quick in responding and extremely helpful. I went to see the Sacred Valley, Mares and Moray as well as did the city tour prior to the trek to help with acclimatization . Thereafter, on day 3, I started the Salkantay trail. It was tailored and modified to my needs and requests on a daily basis. The team who consisted of the guide, chef, assistant chef and horseman were extremely helpful and friendly throughout. The food was amazing and I got three-course meals throughout the whole hike (on the days that meals were included). The ground team, operational team and organizers were all approachable and very much on board. A truly amazing trip. I highly recommend the company and will definitely join them for other trips in the future! Thanks Valencia!
