Peru Hike

"Wir haben mit Peru Hike die 7-Seen-Wanderung am Ausangate gemacht. Die Landschaft mit den Gletschern und türkisfarbenen Lagunen ist spektakulär und absolut sehenswert. ​Während die Verpflegung für unseren Geschmack leider nicht überzeugend war, hat unser Guide die Tour absolut gerettet. Er war fantastisch: Seine Erklärungen waren tiefgründig und spannend, er hat uns viel Zeit für Fotos gelassen und war extrem aufmerksam. Als es körperlich fordernd wurde, hat er am Ende sogar einen unserer Rucksäcke getragen – ein unglaublicher Service! ​Besonders dankbar sind wir für die Menschlichkeit und Kulanz des Teams: Da mein Mann nach der anstrengenden Tour gesundheitliche Probleme bekam, mussten wir unsere zweite Tour (Palccoyo) sehr kurzfristig absagen. Peru Hike war extrem verständnisvoll und kam uns bei der Stornierung sehr entgegen. ​Wer Wert auf einen top Guide und fairen, professionellen Kundenservice legt, ist hier genau richtig. Vielen Dank an das Team!"

"We had the most incredible experience visiting Machu Picchu and walking the Inca Trail as a family, with my husband and our four young children. From the very first moment, our guide traveled with us the entire way, making sure we felt supported and cared for every step of the journey. The guidance and attention we received were simply outstanding. Everything was perfectly organized by Peru Hike, especially the timing for our Machu Picchu entrance. They scheduled us for 8:00 AM, which was ideal! That morning had been rainy and cloudy, but by the time we arrived, the weather cleared beautifully, giving us breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience. The careful planning made all the difference, allowing us to fully enjoy this magical place. The guides were attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly, ensuring that both adults and children were comfortable and engaged throughout the trek. Having a guide with us at all times added a sense of security and made the experience more enriching, as he shared fascinating stories and insights about the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu. The hotel accommodations were excellent. The staff was warm and welcoming, always ready to help with anything we needed. Breakfasts were delicious and abundant, and all meals were of high quality, which was especially important after a long day of trekking. Overall, our family trip with Peru Hike exceeded all expectations. The combination of well-planned schedules, a dedicated guide traveling with us from start to finish, professional support, excellent accommodations, and delicious meals made this one of the best family experiences we’ve ever had. We are deeply grateful for their attention to detail and care—they truly made our visit to Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail unforgettable. We highly recommend Peru Hike to anyone looking for a seamless, enjoyable, and magical experience in Peru."

"Terrible experience. The agency showed a complete lack of professionalism: they scheduled our Machu Picchu entry very late, despite our booking being made six months in advance, and placed us in a hotel in appalling condition — dirty, with no water, and clearly neglected (see the photo to judge yourself). We had to move to other hotel! A huge disappointment and total disrespect for their clients. I do not recommend this agency at all. Positive note to the Guide, very kind and professional."

"We did the full-day tour to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate with Peru Hike, and honestly, it was one of the most amazing experiences we’ve had in Peru. From the moment they picked us up at our hotel, everything was perfectly organized. The transportation was punctual, comfortable, and the staff was friendly and professional throughout the entire day. After a few hours on the road, we arrived at the starting point of the hike, where we were offered a warm and hearty breakfast—just what we needed to get ready for the adventure ahead. The scenery was already breathtaking at that point, with towering mountains and fresh air that fills you with energy. We chose to do the route on horseback, and it was the best decision. The trail is long and at a high altitude, so riding allowed us to fully enjoy the views without getting exhausted. The horses were well cared for, and the local horsemen were kind, attentive, and always nearby to assist. The lakes themselves are absolutely stunning. Each one has a different color—turquoise, green, deep blue—surrounded by snow-capped peaks, glaciers, rivers, and incredible high-Andean landscapes. It’s the kind of place that makes you stop in awe every few minutes just to take it all in. We were guided throughout the day by Gilton, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient, and clearly passionate about the region. He shared with us local legends, history, insights about the Andean communities, wildlife, plants, and how the lakes change with the seasons. He was always making sure we felt good, safe, and were enjoying the journey. At the end of the hike, we were served a delicious lunch, freshly made with local ingredients—perfect to refuel after the trek. We had some time to relax, take in the final views, and then returned to Cusco comfortably. ✨ All in all, it was a magical and unforgettable day—beautiful landscapes, rich culture, amazing food, and a team that truly cares about giving you the best experience. I 100% recommend this tour with Peru Hike, and if you can, ask for Gilton as your guide. Thank you for such a special day!"

"I can’t find the words to fully describe how incredible the Ausangate & Rainbow Mountain 5-day trek was. Every single moment felt like a dream—majestic landscapes, peaceful trails, and a deep connection with nature that I had never felt before. From the very start, Perú Hike handled everything with total professionalism. I felt 100% safe, informed, and cared for. The logistics were perfectly organized, and the attention to detail was outstanding. Each day of the trek brought something new: stunning turquoise lakes, vast herds of alpacas, and the breathtaking presence of Ausangate Mountain (6,384 m / 20,945 ft). Sleeping in the Andes under a sky full of stars was an unforgettable experience. On day four, arriving at the vibrant Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca) was simply magical—nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes. A special thanks to our guide, Juan, who truly made the difference. He was knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about the mountains. He shared beautiful stories, always made sure we were okay, and created a strong sense of trust within the group. The meals were delicious and energizing, and the camping equipment was excellent. If you’re considering doing this trek, don’t think twice. The scenery is out of this world, and with Perú Hike, you’re in the best possible hands. 100% recommended — trustworthy, professional, and deeply committed to an unforgettable experience. Thank you, Perú Hike and Juan, for making one of my biggest dreams come true. 🙏✨"

"I highly recommend doing the 7 Lakes of Ausangate horseback tour with Perú Hike. It was a truly spectacular adventure — stunning landscapes, colorful lagoons, and breathtaking views of the Ausangate glacier. The horses were well cared for, and the ride was smooth and comfortable. Our guide, Nikool, was amazing: friendly, professional, and full of knowledge about the area and its culture. A perfect option for those who want to enjoy the beauty of the Andes without a strenuous hike. Absolutely unforgettable!"

"Unzureichende Kommunikation nach der Buchung endete in einem organisatorischen Desaster für mich. Nach einer Buchungsbestätigung per Mail wurde ich ohne Kommentar wieder aus dem System gelöscht – obwohl mir nach einem telefonischen Austausch bestätigt wurde, dass ich bar zahlen könne, um die Kreditkartengebühr zu umgehen. Die Infos dazu (wann und wo) sollten mir per Mail geschickt werden, diese Mail kam jedoch nie. Auf Nachfrage hieß es plötzlich, ich sei nicht mehr angemeldet, da ich angeblich gegen irgendeine AGB-Klausel verstoßen hätte. Letztendlich buchte ich ohne Probleme bei Machu Picchu Reservations, die günstiger waren und mehr Leistungen boten. Schade um das ganze Organisationschaos. __________________________________ Update zur Antwort des Unternehmens: Die erste Reaktion wurde nachträglich gelöscht. Danach folgten Schuldzuweisungen – und per WhatsApp eine Drohung mit rechtlichen Schritten wegen angeblicher Verleumdung. Wer so mit Kritik umgeht, zeigt, woran es wirklich fehlt: an Professionalität."

"Had a really good time on Salkantay trek. Thanks for everything, would book with Peru Hike again."

"I had the privilege of experiencing an unforgettable horseback journey to the stunning 7 lakes of Ausangate with Peru Hike. From the very beginning, I knew it would be a special day, but it exceeded all expectations. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking—snow-capped mountains rising high into the sky, crystal-clear lakes in vivid shades of turquoise and emerald, and a peaceful Andean silence that touches your soul. Riding through this dreamlike scenery on horseback was the best decision. The horses were gentle, strong, and clearly well cared for, a reflection of the deep respect the local community has for them. Peru Hike provided outstanding organization and service. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly kind. Our guide was more than just a guide—he was a storyteller, a cultural bridge, and a friendly companion who made us feel safe and inspired throughout the journey. Thanks to him, we learned about the sacred significance of Ausangate, local legends, and traditions that made the experience even richer. This was more than a tour—it was a deep connection with nature, culture, and the majestic spirit of the Andes. If you’re looking for authenticity, breathtaking beauty, and a company that truly cares, Peru Hike is the way to go. Highly recommended—one of the most memorable days of my life!"
