Un trek du Salkantay extraordinaire ! Les groupes sont petits ce qui rend l'aventure encore plus belle (Nous étions 6 lors de notre excursion) Une petite agence à l'écoute, avec un guide, une organisation et des repas au top ! Je recommande !

Treck de Salkantay en 4 jours parfaitement organisé avec notre guide Herbert, alias Papas, à la fois très sympathique et professionnel. Super cuisinier (Jorge) également, pour des plats réconfortants après des heures de marche dans ces superbes montagnes !

Nous avons fait la randonnée salkantay avec Okidoki et les bons conseils d'Alvaro qui nous a vraiment bien guidé pour bien choisir notre randonnée et c'était super l'organisation,la nourriture excellente avec notre chef cuistot Rojer , notre guide papas et notre groupe sans oublier l'organisation avec les sacs portés par les mules
La beauté des paysages et terminer par le Machu Picchu c'était comme un rêve . Mille mercis pour ce moment inoubliable dans nos vacances.

My partner and I booked the 3N/4D Salkantay Trek with Okiodoki and let me tell you – we had the best time.

First of all: The Staff was amazing, very kind and super helpful. Alvaro (together with his wife Rosmary owners of Okidoki) replied within minutes to all our questions via whatsapp. A few days before the trek he welcomed us in his office, explained the tour in details and helped me getting over my fear, that the trek might be to hard for me (needless to say: all went perfectly fine and it wasn‘t as hard as I thought). They provided me with hiking poles (30 PEN for the 4 days) and in addition they lent me a daily backpack for free. All the material (duffle bag, sleeping bag, daily backpack) was in perfect condition and the sleeping bag really kept us warm during the cold night at the foot of the Salkantay.

Our guide, Guilleromo, was probably the main reason why we had such good time. He timed the whole trip very well without being too pushy. That means, that everything went as it should and we always met our daily goal according to the timetable. Guilleromo is very kind and helpful. He made sure to keep us safe on the trip and inriched us with his profond knowlege of plants, the mountains, the indigenous community and the incas. Overall you could feel his passion for the nature, the mountains and the local cultur. We couln’d have wished for a better guide. Thank you so much Guilleromo!

Our chef, Roger, prepared delicous meals, which were always right on time. The table was brautifully set and our special needs (vegetarisn or allergies) were always met. Also, the breakfast was a lot richer than I exprected and every day we got something new to try.

Simon, the owner of the three mules, also was very sweet and kind and always a helping hand to Roger and Guilleromo. He made sure that our duffle bags arrived on time and we‘re still impressed how fast he managed to get from one campsite to the other!

Second: compared to other tour companies, the groups at Okidoki are usually small. That allows you to get to know the participants in a more profond way. We happend to be a group of six people and the dynamic within the group was great.

Third: the price-performance ratio is unbeatable. Of cours: don’t expect your trip to be luxurious. But keep in mind that you are doing a multiple day trip in the mountains and what they manage to offer, is already  impressive. Particularly the first accomondation is very authentic and allows you to sleep under a sky full of stars with view on the salkantay. All accomondations are clean and you‘ll have a good sleep.

If it‘s in your budget we would recommend to opt for the train to get back to cusco (costs arround 100 USD more). It only takes 4 hours (instead of 7h by van) and you won‘t have to walk additional 10km to the busstation after your visit to the Machu Picchu on your last day. After two hours train you‘ll get picked up by a van/bus to complete your journey back to Cusco.

Overall we would recommend to book a trip with Okidoki for all reasons above and of course the amazing experience of the Salkantay!

Nous avons fait l’Inca Trail en deux jours et l’expérience a été excellente. Tout était parfaitement organisé : transports, repas, hébergement. Notre guide Guillermo connaissait très bien le terrain et a su nous partager sa passion avec enthousiasme. L’arrivée au Machu Picchu par la montagne restera pour nous un souvenir inoubliable - Je recommande!

Our experience with OkiDoki was excellent - Alvaro's organization and booking skills were incredible and we even got to do 2 circuits within Machu Picchu on the 2D/1N Inca Trail rather than just one. He even made it so that it was just us on the tour which made it extra special!

Our guide, Alcides, was truly exceptional and made the experience 10x better and personalised.  I would definitely try to request him if you are doing the Inca Trail with OkiDoki. The lunch we were provided was extremely comprehensive and included many many snacks, so I would not purchase any snacks of your own before going, but definitely bring water!

The hotel we were booked in Aguas Calientes + the included dinner was so-so, but for the price you cannot really complain!

The only downside we had was that Alvaro was sometimes not great at communicating and his emails sometimes made it seem as though he did not full understand what you were saying. You are also meant to pay the remaining cost (bar the deposit) in-person in cash and we organized this, but Alvaro then began hassling us and saying we had not paid in time despite having a discussion with him about when we were going to pay! This made one of our days in Cusco very stressful and we were rushing our day to get back in time to pay Alvaro and once we did he was not even there and made us wait an extra 2h to turn up and accept the payment.

Overall, despite this slightly negative experience, I would still recommend OkiDoki to visit Machu Picchu because of their organization, knowledge of the laws and ticket booking systems, and their database of guides (go Alcides!!!!). Just make sure to complete the payment ASAP when you get to Cusco to avoid issues!

Je ne peux que recommander, parti pour un treck de 5j pour Choquequirao.  Un très bon guide, excellent cuisinier enfin bref, une équipe au top.
La qualité de l'équipement fourni était très agréable aussi. Nous avons pu adapter le rythme à notre envie et nous avons visité le site avant tout le monde nous permettant d'être seuls! C'était magique

Super expérience avec OkiDoki!! Mention spéciale à Guillermo, un guide en or, sympa, drôle et chaleureux. Merci aussi aux chefs qui nous ont régalés pendant ces quatre jours de trek, tout était au top, je ne peux que recommander OkiDoki (petit bonus : les skylodges pour voir les étoiles filantes depuis son lit ;) ! )
