Solo or With an Agency?

The Salkantay Trek can be done either independently or through an agency. Since I was doing this adventure with my partner, I decided it would be safer and more convenient to go with an agency. I did extensive research, contacted several agencies via WhatsApp, and found that Salkantay Reservations stood out. They not only answered all my questions thoroughly but also offered an attractive price. For this reason, I highly recommend them if you’re considering this trek.
