Incredible Experience! I can’t recommend Mountain Gods enough! This team took such great care of our group and gave us the best trip. They included so many special excursions along the Salkantay Trail and to Rainbow Mountain, each day was packed with so many beautiful views, fun learning experiences, and the most incredible food. Visiting Machu Picchu was a highlight, made so much more special with Ronnie’s expertise and storytelling. Thank you so much to Ronnie, Sara, and Elizabeth for an unforgettable trip! I would chose Mountain Gods Peru again in a heartbeat if I'm lucky enough to make another trip to Peru.

Look no further!!! I was absolutely blown away by my experience with Mountain Gods Peru! Ronnie, Elizabeth, and the team are top notch. They were excellent guides and shared extensive knowledge about Incan culture and history. The food was amazing and the crew always made sure we were comfortable. They handled all the logistics which made this trip so enjoyable. We did the Salkantay Trek but I am already thinking about my next trip back. I cannot recommend them enough. Look no further and book with Mountain Gods Peru!!

The Whole Crew Is Family I honestly can’t say enough good things about Ronnie, Elizabeth, and the rest of the crew. They are the kindest, most nurturing people I know. Not only do they take great care of you, they are also a font of knowledge about Peru, it’s history, and it’s culture. I can’t recommend them enough!

Beautiful Experience Thank you post - To the amazing team from @mountaingods who made the Ausangate trek via Sibinacocha to Rainbow Mountains possible. Trek lead - Ronnie - you told us stories andorganized an amazing trek, we got the best of the support staff and beautiful campsites and good gear. Adjusted the campsites everyday such that the climbs happened in the morning when I was my fittest. Trusting me to complete the trek even after when I was just on fluids for a whole day.. The food was awesome and sumptuous - with Peruvians heritage even though we are vegetarians.Sadly -lcould not do justice to it. Thank you and sorry - Caramello - wish we could exchange more than the 3to 4 Spanish phrases. Hernandez brothers alwaysensured we were well taken care of. Mountains Gods Peru - You gave us an unforgettable 7 days.

Amazing Guide Service Salkantay Trail and Rainbow Mountain I completed the Salkantay Trail and Rainbow Mountain trek with Mountain Gods Peru and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this guide service. Ronald is a wealth of knowledge and made me feel safe and comfortable during the entire trek. It was physically and mentally challenging and Ronald and his team were there every step of the way to encourage me to continue. Excellent service and the food was AMAZING!

Mountain Gods Peru-The Best I’ve been to the top of Kilimanjaro and to Everest Base camp and this was the best of all. We did Salkantay pass to Machu Picchu and added on a hike to Rainbow mountains. Ronnie and Sylvia were awesome. Ronnie has so much knowledgable, I learned so much about the flora and fauna of Peru. I definitely have to give a shout out to Sylvia. She was always there with a smile and words of encouragement and of course to take the perfect picture. Their food was so good, which is needed at higher elevations because it can be hard to find an appetite. Presentation rivals fine restaurants. It was amazing what the cooks did on the trail. What separates Mountain Gods Peru from other tours I’ve taken-hot water bottles on cold nights. Totally unexpected but much appreciated. Also, sleeping bag liners and camp pillows. I was shocked at these comforts. It was the first I had heard of a company having these niceties. I can’t express how much I appreciated this. Also, the tents were top notch and in great shape. Extra tarps were in place to keep us dry. They thought of everything. Highly recommend Mountain Gods Peru

A Trekking Adventure Beyond Compare with Mountain Gods Peru! I recently embarked on the journey of a lifetime with Mountain Gods Peru, undertaking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, and I am still buzzing with excitement as I sit down to write this review. From start to finish, my experience with Mountain Gods Peru was nothing short of exceptional, and I am thrilled to share my adventure with fellow travellers seeking an unforgettable journey. The pre-trip information provided was comprehensive and left no room for uncertainty. I was thoroughly prepared and knew exactly what to expect, thanks to their detailed itinerary and packing recommendations. The trek itself was a symphony of breathtaking landscapes, challenging trails, and cultural encounters that I will treasure forever. Our knowledgeable guide, dear Ronnie, whose passion for the region's history and natural beauty was infectious, enhanced the entire experience. His expertise ensured that not only did we reach Machu Picchu, but we did so while appreciating every step of the journey. The Salkantay Trek is not for the faint of heart, but with the support of Mountain Gods Peru's skilled team, I felt confident and invigorated throughout. The accommodations provided along the trek was surprisingly comfortable given the remote locations. Campsites with stunning vistas, each overnight stay felt like a reward after a day of rewarding exertion. The meals, prepared by the team's talented chef, Carmelo were a delightful surprise. Despite the challenging conditions, we were treated to delicious, nourishing meals that showcased local ingredients and flavors. Safety was paramount throughout the journey and the emergency horse's presence was reasuring. The team demonstrated a deep commitment to responsible tourism and environmental stewardship. They encouraged sustainable practices and ensured that we left no trace behind, preserving the beauty of the Andean landscapes for generations to come. But beyond the logistics and accommodations, what truly set Mountain Gods Peru apart was their genuine care for their clients. They fostered a sense of camaraderie among our trekking group, creating a supportive and encouraging atmosphere that made the challenges feel surmountable and the triumphs even sweeter. It's rare to find a company that combines professionalism with such a personal touch, and for that, I am immensely grateful. My Salkantay Trek with Mountain Gods Peru was an absolute triumph. The memories I made, the friendships I forged, and the sheer sense of accomplishment I felt upon reaching Machu Picchu are immeasurable. If you're seeking an adventure that marries stunning landscapes with unparalleled service, look no further than Mountain Gods Peru. They turned my dream of trekking to Machu Picchu into an extraordinary reality, and I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Mountain Gods Peru, for an adventure of a lifetime!
