Traveler reviews

Pretty good experience overall! Ask for Roger! :) Our rating for Roger is 5+ stars!
We had roger as our guide and he was incredible! He took tons of pictures for us and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed our trip! Pretty impossible to do as a vegan, bring protein powder! Food wasn’t the best so pack snacks and make sure you bring cash! I was disappointed no where on the trip provided water. Bug spray/ sunscreen is a must and wear long pants in the jungle to avoid bug bites.
Response from the operator: Dear Dani Thank you for your comment, Roger and the Real Travel team are very pleased to have been part of your Salkantay experience. It is true that we do not include water, since during the trek we find many points to be able to buy them, however we are taking your comment into account to continue improving, we wish you the best trip and a soon return, Blessings.

4 day Salkantay trek
Really enjoyed the 4 day Salkantay trek. Food and accomodation on the trek were really good. We weren't too lucky with the weather, but even on a cloudy day Machu Picchu is worth a visit.
Response from the operator: Dear Friend Thank you for sharing your experience with Titikaka Real Travel, it was really a pleasure to have been part of your experience and adventure at Salkantay We await your return soon for more adventures in Cusco and Peru blessings and greetings

Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome cost?
+
Prices start at $869 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.
Is Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu 5d/ 4n return train Vistadome start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cusco?
+
On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cusco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cusco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
