It was an absolutely wonderful trip. I didn’t think that I liked guided tours until I did this trip. The tour was tailored really well, and our guide did an amazing job of curating the experience for us. My wife and I had a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend Mountain Lodges of Peru to any of our friends.

My husband and I journeyed to Peru for 11 days, 7 of the days on The Salkantay Trail to hike to Machu Picchu. During the hike, we stayed at four Mountain Lodges: Salkantay Lodge, Wayra Lodge, Colpa Lodge and Lucma Lodge. From the guides, to porters, lodges and food, everything was amazing! I highly recommend it!

My friend and I did the six night/seven day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu and it was excellent…The sights and trekking experience were 100% first rate! I learned some history, some nature, and had a great physical experience with all the walking. For the record, I am a 49 year old woman in good shape – active but not an athlete. It was challenging but totally doable. I’m very glad I did this trek. It was a life experience.

Excellent service since the day we arrived at Cusco to all the tours including Machu Picchu until the departure date was outstanding. The management of Alejandro Abugattas was outstanding. My entire family had a great time and we would be delighted to come back.

If you are looking for a top notch trekking company, Mountain Lodges of Peru is who should go with. We just came back from an epic 7 day trek along the Salkantay route to Machu Picchu. From the very beginning to the very last minute it was spectacular and perfect. I highly recommend this company to anyone who loves to hike, eat good food, sleep well at night, and learn about the country they are visiting.
