It had been a long time since I last booked a trip through a travel agency. I thought the experience was wonderful.
Enjoy Peru Holidays Agency organized every little detail of my trip: tickets, accommodation, food, people to wait for me at the arrival points, entrance and guide to Machu Picchu. I felt well looked after and was able to enjoy the trip relaxed.
As a woman, receiving this type of attention adds an extra layer of comfort, because I felt safe, having personalized and direct contact with the Agency.
If you have more time, I recommend taking more tours (the one leaving Cusco earlier, for example) and staying at least one more day. It is a long journey to reach Aguas Calientes.

I did the Salkantay Trek with Enjoy Peru Holidays and it was a remarkable experience. The website has all the information and I got quickly answers to all my e-mails. Arriving in Cusco I received all (and plus) the help from Erick (the manager), talked with my guide (Alvina, the best). The arrangement for the trek was all well done, with safety and organization. I totally recomend Enjoy Peru Holidays and I will certanelly use the service of this agency again! Thanks for all!

I reserved ahead of time for the 4D/3N Salkantay Trek and every step of the way, they were so attentive and informative for every question i had. What made the experience that much more amazing was the guide (Adel), very smart guy and very down to earth. On the last day of the hike, the packet that had all my information was ruined by the torrential downpour while at Machu Picchu (lucky me!) and after calling the company, they sent me screenshots of all of the documents-information needed for the rest of the journey. Couldn´t have asked for a better experience, Thank you!

Alvin, who is associated with South American Tours, was FABULOUS. Knew everything about the area, was so enthusiastic, and was so interesting to talk to. We can't recommend him any higher.

Erick and his team went well beyond my expectations in so many ways. Being a meticulous planner myself, it was really enjoyable for both me and my wife to focus on the hike itself and not worry about the logistics (airport pickups, car transportation, bus transportation, food, train tickets, guides, etc). All of that was great as it was clearly communicated, timely, and the food itself was delicious. Enjoy Peru also did a lot of little things that showed they are focused on providing a great experience (eg: bringing oxygen and medicine, extra ponchos, walking sticks, running an errand for us, carrying our bag for a bit, transporting our luggage from hotels, etc). None of it was expected, but it was all greatly appreciated.
The hike itself was very tough, but very satisfying. We're glad we did a private hike as it allowed us to go at our own pace and take lots of pictures. Unfortunately, the weather was foggy during the high altitude parts of the hike, but apparently that is typical during rainy season. The weather when we arrived at Machu Picchu was majestically clear though with scattered morning clouds.
The dollar goes pretty far in Peru, and especially for what you get on this trek. I'd highly recommend buying directly from them on their website, else you'll likely pay serious markups if you use a 3rd party travel agency.
If you're looking for luxury and pampering accommodations, the 4D/5N hike itself probably isn't for you... but I think that's what makes the trip so great as you can kind of experience what it must have been like to walk through these Andes hundreds of years ago. Although I will say we were pampered with great food. On the hike, we didn't run into too many other people, which was a plus.
My only critique would be their English overall isn't that great (it's not bad, it's just okay)... so it takes a bit of effort to communicate. That should be expected though as we rarely met anyone in Cusco that spoke English well. Regardless, they make up for it with their friendliness and desire to please.

WARNING: To get to Hidroelectrica to start the hike it’s about 45 mins on a really dangerous road. This last part of the drive was terrifying. At one point the driver passed another bus, just because it stopped for a few seconds. We were on the edge of a narrow dusty road, with 5 cm to go before approx. 1000 meter drop straight down (no security fence). People were screaming. The passing was totally unnecessary, as the bus we passed started driving again straight after we passed it. I also think that the driver in general drove to quickly on this road. The rest of the trip was mostly fine, except for too high speed in several of the turnings on the mountain pass road.
Beltran was the name of the driver, in Sakura transporte turÃstico. We complained afterwards but he just blamed the car that stopped (!) After a while the company did give us an excuse, after loads of explanations to justify that the driver didn’t drive to fast. They sent us track records of cars speed, and claimed everyone else were happy about the trip - which is definitely not true, lots of people were terrified they just didn’t bother to send a complaint. Our impression is that the company doesn’t recognize that in the end it is the customers experience that matters. If people are scared and uncomfortable they should take that into account, respect it, and really see how they can improve their services.
We’ve recommended the company to put a warning about the terrible state of the road on their webpage and let people know that there are no security fences and a really steep and long drop straight down, so people at least know what they sign up to. We also told them that they should make sure to have responsible drivers when they take tourists along this dangerous path. In the end they responded that they’ll consider our feedback.
We ended up paying extra to take the train back, as we didn’t want to risk our lives again. On their webpage they have a 100 % satisfactory guarantee. We pointed that out and asked for compensation for our train tickets, but we didn’t get any refund, just a defensive print of their budget stating how little they own per person, to explain why they couldn’t compensate us. I’m sure it’s true, but then there should not be a 100 % satisfactory guarantee. However they did agree that we could use our tickets to jump on the bus in Ollantaytambo to get back to Cusco on or way back. We appreciated that, and the drive was ok.
On the upside: beautiful hike from the bus to Aquas Calientes. Nice hotel with very friendly staff, and ok meals. The day at Machu Picchu was also very interesting with a good guide.
The company did not have a dedicated guide for the whole trip and it was vague who was part of our group. It seems like different companies all buy services from the same bus companies, hotels etc without sending a guide for the whole trip. I guess it keeps the price down. It all worked out though, as different people showed up to tell us things at various spots. It was not a big problem but it could have been explained from the beginning, because it was all a bit confusing.
In summary, the trip was fine except for the drive which was a major drawback. We’re aware that this kind of driving and such roads are not unusual in Peru, and many other countries, but some roads are worse than others, and in combination with reckless drivers it’s seriously dangerous. A guide in the car argued that other companies are worse, or the same, which is probably true (but still not an acceptable excuse). It’s really worth considering whether you’re willing to take the risk. The train was very comfortable and nice, although pricier - it’s a safe alternative.
However, If you’re the kind that could drive the death road in Bolivia, and like an adrenaline kick, this might be perfect for you.

Definitely not something for people who suffer from fear of bad roads. The trip involves climbing to 4300 m (about 13,000 ft), descending through the clouds with little visibility and then taking an unpaved road with room just enough for the minivan.
The good news is the drivers are highly professional and know the road well. Once you get to Hidroelectrica, you walk 11 km (7 miles) to Aguascalientes. Most of the time you go next to the railroad tracks. The landscape is gorgeous and Fernando, our guide, was superb with explanations of local animals and plants. It is definitely and experience worth the time.
They advise you to bring water and snacks which is good event though they give you some when you board. Also warn you to bring insect repellent which is needed as mosquitoes will bite you mercilessly if you are unprotected.
Also bring appropriate footwear. I brought sneakers with a relative soft sole and the walk along the tracks took a toll on my feet. Tracking shoes are ideal.
The service was very good. Departed on time, safe (despite the challenging roads) and definitely a lot of fun.

My friend and I did the 5 day 4 night Salkantay Trek with Manu as our guide. We had an excellent time! The weather was brilliant as was the accommodation and food - simple but easy to digest at altitude and provide energy. Manu provided all the information we needed as we went along and it was super interesting to learn from him about the Quechuan culture, his family etc. It was a bit stressful trying to get the Machu Picchu tickets in Aguas Calientes the day before but Manu advised on timings etc and we started out hike very early to make it to the town early. He also guided us in Machu Picchu.

Out of all ways to get to Machu Picchu this is the cheapest (unless you walk all the way there). The company is very professional. The driver we had both ways drove safely and did his best to accommodate everyones requests. They also provided us with free water and dropped of the jumper I forgot on the bus off at our hotel without any issues. Highly recommend this!

We wanted to buy bus tickets to hydroelectica with this company. In the morning we went to the addresses on the website but both of them were closed. We contact them by WhatsApp. They said we could book the tickets but needed to sent a photo of our passports. For us it was just as easy to walk to the company again, so we told them we would do that. They told us the opening hours and we waited till they were open. After half an hit of waiting they still did not open. We contacted them again by WhatsApp via two different phone numbers but we have never heard of them before. They are also really expensive compared to other companies. Our host said you should not pay more than 60 soles for a round trip. We ended up with another company who charged us 55 soles for a round ticket instead of 30 USD.

Hi,
My friend and I will be arriving on May 7 and departing on May 8. Can I get more information about the day tours available? What is pricing? Would it be a shared tour with other groups or a private tour for just the two of us? Would you pick us up and drop us off? What hours are the tours?
Thanks,
