Amazing Trek with SAS Travel.
We did the 5D/4N Salcantay Trek with SAS. We preferred this over the Inca trail. Much more scenic, no crowds, private campsites, waterfalls, snow capped mountains, etc. SAS was everything we were hoping they would be. No last minute surprises, they were there at the airport, Hotel Marqueses was splendid, breakfast was great, the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. The tents were spacious (4 person tent for 2 people) No regrets, we highly recommend. PS, Food on the trek was out of this world. How they can prepare a 5 course meal on a mountain using fresh produce was beyond us...

Dear SAS Office Staff and Team,
We just finished up your Lares trek this evening and I wanted to write to tell you what a wonderful group of staff members you have. I’m sure you are already aware but both of our guides, Julio and Felipe, were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and kind. It felt as though they constantly knew exactly what the group needed and made it happen and they were so positive during what I am sure could be a very difficult job. These type of trips depend so much on the outlook on the staff that lead them and I feel incredibly lucky to have had such wonderful guides.

In addition the food that was prepared by our chefs was so delicious and just to our dietary needs. We felt so lucky to try such delicious Peruvian food especially as vegetarians and have none better in Peru than on your trek. All of the staff were incredibly kind and friendly despite the hard work that they were doing and I would highly recommend every person that was a part of our team.

Thanks to you for putting together such a wonderful group of staff members and sharing them with us.

Words can not describe how amazing the Inka Trail hike is. with SAS. I had an incredible time. The trip was extremely well planned. Our main guide, Evert, was one of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met. There was not a flower he did not know or an anthropological, or archaeological, question he could not answer. After the Inka Trail with him, one should earn three credits for college. Evert was assisted by the caring and helpful Cesar.

Alex Blevens

"The experience was fantastic".
My wife, son and I just took the 3 day / 2 night tour to the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail, and Machu Picchu. The experience was fantastic. Hiking the Inca trail, even for one day gave us a unique perspective to the area and history. Martin, our tour guide in the Sacred Valley was attentive and informative. Diego, our guide for the trail and sanctuary did a wonderful job telling us about the cultural and natural history of the area. Overall we would book again with SAS Travel. Thank you so much!

Overview

Enjoy the company of our well prepared, experience guides and drivers, who will captivate you with the Andean Spiritual beliefs and the impressive traditions of the Incas, recent archaeological research and fascinating historical information.

Is it for me?

This tour is probably the second most popular activity in Peru after the not to be missed journey to Machu Picchu. For photographers, shoppers, admirers of culture and architecture that unfolds so many stories of the past and present. This is for everyone!

Difficulty

Does involve some narrow trails amongst the mountain top archaeological site of Pisac, so sturdy footwear is required and at least a day of rest to acclimatise before this tour to help you enjoy it fully.

Transport

Tourist bus

Recommendations

2.- If you only will visit the Sacred valley tour there is a partial Ticket valued in 70 soles.
3.- If you will do City tour with the 4 Inca sites you will need another partial Ticket valued in 70 soles too, so best to get the 10 day Tourist Ticket "Boleto Turistico" for 130 soles and is valid for 10 days.
4.- Note that to see Koricancha Incan site, the temple of the sun (Saint Dominic church) there is another fee of 10 soles separately and 25 soles to visit the Cusco Cathedral in a separate tickets.

Cusco Inka museum located just behide left main cathedral on first block of Calle del Almirante then follow up a narrow road and you will find a beautiful small Plaza de Nazarenas with an impressive monastery now converted in a 5 start hotel, walk down to the
