      Their prices are at least twice cheaper than other trekking companies I’ve looked at. Any idea why? Would you highly recommend them?

      ​@@AlishaYks I completed the Salkantay Trek after a friend recommended Refugios Salkantay and this was the best trek i have ever made. Highly Recommended, they explained to me they are able to provided both service and fair pricing because of the network of local families incorporated along the trek.

    Just did 5-day Salkantay, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and I trek a lot around the World!
    3 pieces of advice if you plan to do it:
    1. Go in off-shoulder season (April is perfect) - very few people so it is a very serene experience.
    2. Chew Coca leaves first couple of days, Coca tea does very little to help with elevation (advice from locals).
    3. Wear long pants once you get down from Salkantay into the rain forest or the midges will get you (locals call them mosquitos for some reason) - deet does very little to protect from them and it does hurt pretty bad :)
    Cheers !

    It's been pretty cool to watch you master the art of making these types of videos, not just cinematically but also with the type of gear you bring, and the kind of shots/music you use. The balancing between the music and natural noises. Impressive stuff.

    Hey Kraig! I also did the Salkantay independently last week, and ran into you filming. I think it's worth nothing that for the section you drove from Chaullay to Lucmabamba, there is actually a trail on the other side of the valley - away from the road. It takes you through small coffee farms and winding cliffs, so it wasn't quite as boring as I heard the road side is. It is long though - I ended up crossing the river using a cable-pulley contraption that the locals use to cross over, and then got a ride for the last few km to Lucma. This might be helpful for other subscribers looking to do the trip.

    I've posted a similar comment on your video about the Santa Cruz trek (also in Peru). I did both hikes in 2018, at a shifting point in my life. I lived some of my best memories during those treks and being able to relive this, through your videos, is a wonderful gift. Recognizing spots where I camped, where I had lunch, where I just admired the endless views of this beautiful part of the world. It gives me the chills. Thank you very much for these pieces of visual art you create for us & yourself. Keep on walking, keep on making these videos.

    THANKYOU for putting this video out! I did the Salkantay trek back in 2019 as my first "real" international trip and it has stuck with me ever since. This brought back so many memories seeing the specific trails and various points you stopped at along the way. I really appreciate the supreme quality and all the work you put in to create these videos. I'm sure these will be incredible to look back on down the road. I've used a lot of the gear you wear and bring along on your trips. I can't thank you enough for the inspiration.

As an Australian older hiker, travel during covid has curtailed planned hikes for a couple of years, although I hiked the Larapinta last June and am planning to hike either the Coast to Coast in England or the Camino Primitivo in Spain next year. Cheers and thanks for the amazing videos.

We started in Mollepata (no roads beyond this point), took a right at Soraypampa, went over the Inca Chiriasqa pass and joined the main Inca Trail at Huayllabamba. As we descended we went by this site where the Inca's straightened the river and put in a cannel network. Fantastic 7 day trip.
