Classic Salkantay Trek To Machu Picchu - 4 Days

Guide

Experienced tour guides The TreXperience team are fluent English speakers and are extremely experienced professional tour guides from the local area. We provide a single guide for groups of fewer than eight people and a second guide for groups of eight or more. We very much enjoy sharing our extensive knowledge of local history and culture with you along the trek. All guides are proficiently trained in high mountain rescue and first aid kits. We are committed to ensuring all clients have the best possible TreXperience!

Meals

Food TreXperience is proud of their highly talented chefs who never fail to cook up a delightful feast despite being in the middle of the Andean Mountains! We guarantee the biggest foodies among you won't fail to be impressed. All breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are provided each day (except lunch on the final day), and the food is both delicious and plentiful. We cater for all dietary requirements, so please let us know of your needs. We will keep those energy levels high with snacks each day, and we will make sure you have a tea/coffee every morning to wake up and every afternoon to unwind. Water All drinkable water – from your first lunch to your last breakfast – will be provided (you need to supply your own water bottles/camelback and we recommend carrying at least 2L). The water is boiled, filtered, and cooled before it is distributed.

Transport

TreXperience offers a door-to-door service; we will pick you up from your hotel on the morning of the trek and drop you off back at your hotel on the last day. All required transportation throughout the trek is included, as well as the Panoramic train back from Aguas Calientes.

Pre-departure briefing TreXperience welcomes you to our Cusco offices on the evening prior to your trek for a pre-departure briefing. The briefings take place at approximately 6:00 pm. Because TreXperience recognizes that many hikers are nervous or inexperienced, the briefing is an opportunity to meet your guide, who will go over what to expect over the next few days. Our guides are very approachable and experienced, so feel free to use this opportunity to ask them any questions you may have. Permits All admission permits are included. In order to obtain all relevant permits for your hike we will require a photocopy of your passport. We kindly request you share this with the team as soon as you book your trek.
