Hidden Valleys of Salkantay Trek
I was very satisfied with the dialogue with WE before departure. They booked hotels, transportation, and answered questions right up until departure and during the trip. My friend and I had some fantastic experiences in Peru thanks to Neptaly, who was our guide for most of the trip. He took care of all the practical arrangements and gave an amazing tour of Machu Picchu. He also made sure that everything related to our trek ran smoothly.
All provided information was accurate.
Staff were professional and helpful
Our camping equipment is of proven quality and designed for the conditions you will experience in Peru. We provide tents on a twin share basis with plenty of personal space and storage for your luggage. A private toilet tent will be erected at each campsite, however if campsites have ablution blocks, we use them instead.
Breakfast and dinner on treks are served in our communal mess tent with folding chairs, tables and a solar light. Lunch is usually picnic style and is prepared by one of the cooks who accompany us. We provide three hearty meals on all our treks in Peru. The mess tent is also available for communal use in the afternoon and evening.
Every departure date advises whether the date is confirmed, and roughly how full it is. Here is what each one means.
If a date shows Guaranteed to go, it runs regardless of further bookings.
It means two travellers are enough to confirm the departure. It could be 2 more to add to the group, or the date only needs 2 people to run. Either way, if you book for two people, the date will become guaranteed to run.
You will know the status before you book. Every date on this page is labelled, and dates marked “Guaranteed to go” are running regardless of further bookings. Where a date has not reached its minimum we either offer a surcharge to operate for a smaller group size so it can still run, or we cancel it. We contact you directly either way.
If we cancel a departure due to not meeting minimum trip numbers, you receive a full refund of everything you have paid us less any non recoverable costs, where insurance may cover you. We cannot refund money committed elsewhere – additional non refundable deposits advised at the time of booking, flights, visas, vaccinations, gear - which is why it is worth waiting for “Guaranteed to go” before booking other arrangements around this trip date. Please read our Booking Terms and Conditions before you book.
Each trip closes online a set time before departure. Permits, internal flights and hut or campsite bookings all have to be arranged before we take payment. Call or enquire as it might still be possible to organise last minute places.
Cancellations happen and places do open up on closed dates, so it is worth being on our list. We can also tell you which nearby date on the same trip has space, which is usually the faster route.
Yes, as a private departure. We can run this trip on a date you choose, for your own group - family, friends, a club, or in many cases, just for the two of you. Tell us when you want to travel and who is coming, and we will build it around that.
This is a moderate to challenging trek with long walking days, steep climbs and high-altitude conditions.
Yes, the trip is fully guided with expert bilingual guides throughout.
No, you carry only a day pack while the support crew transports camping equipment and supplies.
Accommodation includes hotels before and after the trek, with fully supported camping during the trekking section.
This route travels through quieter valleys and high mountain passes, offering a more remote experience away from main trekking routes.
The best time to trek Salkantay is April, May and October for dry weather and clear conditions, while June to August offers the clearest mountain views but colder nights and busier trails.
Yes, this is a moderate to challenging multi-day trek at altitude, so prior experience with multi-day hiking and a good level of fitness are recommended.
