Success is not an immediate reward, it is a recognition earned by working with dedication and efficiency. The achievements of Salkantay Trekking <\/strong>are the result of the efforts done by all our team members, both inside and outside the office: from the muleteers, cooks, and guides to the logistics, human resources, sales, and marketing teams. We are a big family, and each individual is committed to providing excellent service to our clients, which has made us the best tour operator in Peru<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, we are also very proud to have been selected to compete for the World Leading Tour Operator 2024<\/strong>. A few months ago, Salkantay Trekking was recognized at the World Travel Awards as the best tour operator in Peru and South America. This new nomination is a great opportunity to establish our company as a reference tour operator worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how did we achieve this? Let us tell you about the elements that have made it possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salkantay Trekking: Passion for Our Profession<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salkantay Trekking is a leading tour operator in the industry, specializing in trekking and mountain adventures. For over a decade, we have been dedicated to offering sensational experiences, designing meticulously crafted routes, and ensuring the highest quality services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a local agency based in Cusco<\/strong>, a small city located in the Andes of Peru<\/strong> that holds a vast history and is home to impressive monuments such as Machu Picchu, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Gradually, under the rule of the Inca Empire, it became so important that it was recognized as \u201cthe navel of the world.\u201d This rich historical and cultural heritage has helped establish it as a world-renowned city known as: Cusco, the imperial city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like our beloved town, this project started as a small business filled with hope, and it\u2019s fascinating to see how we are fulfilling dreams in such a short time. We know our territory well, love it, and want to share that passion with our visitors. At Salkantay Trekking, we are committed to the development of our region. As the best tour operator in Peru, we opt for sustainable and quality tourism<\/strong> that values and respects culture, traditions, and the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our employees and collaborators are in constant training, receiving education to understand better the characteristics of the areas we manage. This allows them to define conscious actions to avoid damaging the environment, in addition to sharing their historical and cultural knowledge with travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salkantay Foundation has also helped strengthen the most vulnerable sectors around Cusco through social projects that generate a significant positive impact. It is essential for us to involve the communities in the work of Salkantay Trekking, creating job opportunities and ensuring that local actors are also protagonists in our adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much More Than a Hike: An Unforgettable Journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unimaginable landscapes, unforgettable memories, incredible stories, and adventures that can only be lived once in a lifetime. That is what we want you to take back home with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key factor that distinguishes Salkantay Trekking is the emotion: the feelings our expeditions awaken, the new world of sensations they provoke. The scenery of the Andes offers an impressive spectacle capable of leaving everyone speechless and arouse a new version of ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t know our motto yet? \u201cSmall groups, big adventures.\u201d <\/strong>This is a fundamental pillar to ensure an extraordinary journey. Exploring with a reduced number of participants allows us to elevate the quality of the experience, promoting a deeper connection among group members and between the traveler itself and nature. We want you to feel that magic, to be moved by the imposing mountains and vast valleys of Cusco, always supported by our team to ensure you enjoy a transforming experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We design personalized itineraries<\/strong> tailored to the clients\u2019 preferences, with various route options that fit each traveler\u2019s schedule. Additionally, we plan different combinations to offer joint visits to unique places.  We give the opportunity to choose a multitude of destinations, including impressive and less known places in the Cusco region such as Huchuy Qosqo, Ausangate, Choquequirao or Lares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that in the mountains a good rest is essential, so we have arranged exclusive accommodations with privileged views. Furthermore, we also use fully prepared equipment for adverse weather conditions, offering optimal comfort at all times. Throughout the trip, it is possible to recharge energy by enjoying typical dishes prepared by our magnificent chefs. From our professional kitchens, they create diverse menus adapted to the requirements of each customer, considering the client\u2019s needs and always serving the best of Andean cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
