Review of the four-day Salkantay Trek with Sky Lodge domes, mountain passes, jungle trails, meals, guides, and Machu Picchu entry.
“My mother and I did the 4 day Salkantay trek with Fernando as our guide. He was so patient, accommodating, and really knowledgeable of everything to do with the mountain and history of the Incas. The trek entailed many history lessons from Fernando where everyone learned so much. There were different levels of fitness on the trek and Fernando accommodated everyone, provided coco leaves, and encouraged us at times where we were exhausted. The food on the trek was absolutely amazing, the chef outdid himself every night. The accommodation on the mountain was very comfortable aswell. I thought the prices and tips were all very fair, I wish I could…”
Review of Cusco’s 4-day Inca Jungle Adventure with biking, rafting, hiking, ziplining, hot springs, and Machu Picchu.
“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”
Raft Class III to IV rapids on Peru’s Vilcanota River, then enjoy lunch, sauna time, and two ziplines near Cusco.
“We were nervous before meeting our guides, but Bamba Travel were good at responding to our questions via WhatsApp. On meeting our guides, Juan Carlos and Davide, they put us at ease and explained in clear English how the day would work. In short it was brilliant!! We rafted from Cusipata, a 2hr scenic trip south of Cusco. Safety talks were clear and gave us confidence in the guides’ abilities. The zip line was great but it quickly became a memory once we were concentrating on the rafting. I believe we went to one of the best areas for a one day trip. The water was safe but still a…”
Seven days of biking, rafting, ziplining, jungle trekking, Sacred Valley sights, and Machu Picchu with transport and guides included.
“Amazing scenery and adventure. Our guide Jonathon was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable and connected in the area. All the activities were well done and very enjoyable and the scenery was the best I have ever seen.”
Raft class II and III rapids on the Urubamba, zip-line over the river, then enjoy lunch, sauna, and showers at Cusipata Camp.
“Great fun, super organised, great views and setting! Looked after as soon as we were met! If I had a spare day I would do it again!”
Scale a 300-meter cliff by via ferrata, enjoy Sacred Valley views, and ride six zip lines on a five-hour Cusco adventure.
“it was very exciting and the guide was excellent.”
Ride four long ziplines above Peru’s Sacred Valley, cross a Tibetan bridge, and enjoy mountain views on a four-and-a-half-hour trip from Cusco.
“Belle aventure ! C’est rapide mais ça vaut le coût! Très sécuritaire, ça m’a rassuré car j’avais un peu peur au début, mais les instructeurs nous on mit en confiance. À faire si vous êtes à Cuzco!”
Ride a sky bike 50 meters above Cusco, climb a via Ferrata, and rappel down a cliff on this four-hour Cachimayo adventure.
“Amazing! Worth going for the landscape views alone, not to mention the skybike. The guides were super friendly and very knowledgeable.”
Review the Cusco bungee and slingshot combo: 125-meter jump, 120-meter launch, safety rules, price, timing, and practical tips.
“Incredible! Felt safe and secure, would definitely do again and highly recommend.”
Trek from Cusco through Humantay Lagoon, Salkantay Pass, coffee country, and Machu Picchu with domes, meals, guide, train, and hotel included.
“Hee goed verzorgd! Goed eten en fijne bedden, laatste hotel was ‘oke’. De domes waren top! Alleen nacht 1 zeer koud maar ik Geloof dat dit bij alle domes van alle organisaties wel zo was! Eigen douche en toilet, top! Hike zelf prachtig!”
Climb Pachar’s Via Ferrata, cross a mountain suspension bridge, zip through the Sacred Valley, and enjoy lunch with panoramic views.
“Great crew, great instruction, and the Via Ferrata and Zipline were amazing. Will definitely be searching out more in the world. Recommend going as early as possible to be in mostly shade while still seeing the blue skies and views of the valley.”
Trek from Cusco to Machu Picchu via Humantay Lake, Salkantay Pass, Sky Lodge Domes, and a small group of eight for $680.
“Le trek du Salkantay au Pérou était une expérience incroyable. Les paysages étaient grandioses, variés et à couper le souffle -entre montagnes enneigées, vallées verdoyantes et le superbe lac Humantay, vraiment magnifique. L’organisation était globalement très bonne. En cas de mal d’altitude, il y a toujours la possibilité de monter à cheval (payant), ce qui est rassurant pour les moments les plus difficiles. Le cuisinier nous a préparé d’excellents repas tout au long du trek : variés, savoureux, et bienvenus après une longue journée de marche. Le guide était également très professionnel, sympathique et attentif à chacun. Le seul petit bémol : la seconde nuit, où l’hébergement n’était pas à…”
Combine Sacred Valley ziplining, ATV rides, Maras salt mines, and Moray in a lively 7.5-hour Cusco day trip.
“So, this probably didn’t have a ton of reviews yet because it’s technically two separate tours - BUT they’re both awesome, and as long as you’re OK going with the flow, it’ll be a wonderful way to see some of the amazing elements of the Sacred Valley and Moray! You begin with one group which covers the ATV trip, Moray, and Maras. Our guide, Floyd, was amazing, and he gave us a super fun ATV ride AND amazingly detailed and insightful notes on the history behind the historical sites. This is where it gets a little weird - your first group will drop you off at the Zip Lines and…”
Pick a ridge, a ruin or a kitchen.
