Highly recommend sanctuary to book treks
Sanctuary organised our 5 day Ausangate trek, very last minute. Us booking through them 2 days before departure. Everything was amazing, their equipment was extremely good and all their information was spot on and very helpful. The trek worked out perfectly and was very good value. I would book through them again.
Very recommended
I booked the sacred valley tour, Ausangate trek (5d) and the Salkanray trek (5d) incl. Machu Picchu. I had a very good experience. Everything was arranged very well and the people are super friendly, professional and know what they are talking about. Noemí and Leo are always ready to help you out!
I am glad I found Sanctuary treks and are very recommended.
Thank you!
Ausangate Trek 3 Days
One of the best hikes I have done in Peru so far. I did the 3-day Ausangate Trek. Everything went smoothly. The food was very good and always sufficient, the tents were also very good. Our guide knew a lot and the hiking pace was very appropriate.
Unforgettable trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu
We arrived in Cusco without knowing anyone and met Noemí from Sanctuary Treks Peru. She advised us, accompanied us, and managed everything personally so that we only had to worry about enjoying each excursion. Excellent assistance and coordination. AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
HONESTY AND QUALITY.
THANK YOU CUSCO PERU!!

Excellent accompaniment on each tour. They are always willing to help, respond extremely quickly and give you unique alternatives that you don’t find elsewhere. They leave no detail to chance and make the journey unforgettable. Definitely the best way to get to know Cusco.
