Dear Irvin & SAS Team,
Thank you so much for the great service you provided during our 2 weeks stay in Peru.

A special thank you to Jonathan, who promptly replied to all our inquiries and always been very helpful.
We thoroughly enjoyed your country and certainly will recommend SAS Travel to anyone planning to visit Peru.

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.

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!

This package offers the best of Peru including the inca trail to Machu Picchu. If you are booking at the last minute and there are no permits left for the standard Inca trail, then you have the opportunity for either the Lares trek to Machu Picchu or the Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu which are both wonderful alternatives but actually many peoples first choice these days as they have become more well known and popular for their off the beaten track feel and the charm of seeing the real Peru through meeting the families of the local Andean Villages of Lares and the spectacular panoramas of the trek around Salkantay mountain to Machu Picchu.
The only thing this package does not include is jungle but it is offered in additional options so we can tailor make this to suit your time frame and place preferences!
If you have a little extra time to make this a holiday and not just a whirl wind tour around Peru to see most of what it has to offer then you will love this as you have some time to really relax and enjoy Cusco and Arequipa with a few extra nights to really appreciate the panoramic scenes, beautiful arquiteture and crafts, colourful cultures and warmth of the people !! Plus you have time to do some optional adventures such as rafting or mountain biking to name a few!
