Our Tour Guides, Salkantay Trekking

Guides who know the Andes by heart

Our tour guides are specially selected for their professionalism, experience, responsibility, and seriousness, but that doesn't mean they don't know how to have fun.

Our guides' unmatched passion for exploring their homeland and the burning desire to share all their experience with you make this your perfect opportunity to get into the wilderness and have the time of your life.

Our ambassadors have covered several kilometers of the Salkantay route, thousands of trips to Machu Picchu, and several nights sleeping under the stars doing different activities as guides. They could not be more willing and proud to introduce you to the places they call home.

Our guides are the most knowledgeable in the area. Each of them speaks English and Spanish, their native language. They even know Quechua, considered the official language of the Incas. This means they can all communicate with the natives of the rural areas and will have a lot of history to share with you. If you travel with Salkantay Trekking, there will be no “loss in translation” problems.

Check the biography of our ambassadors and active members of the great Salkantay Trekking family.
