Incredible experience! CrossOver Peru's support staff was amazing, from our guide Yaritza, to our incomparable Cook Modesto, and our dedicated Muleteer, Damian. The three of them did everything possible to ensure we had a phenomenal trip. The CrossOver Peru office staff also worked hard to ensure every one of our needs and requests for additional service and tours were fulfilled---top notch responsiveness and customer support in every way possible. I have done similar trekking adventures in several other countries, and can say that the CrossOver Peru team was the most professional, versatile, flexible and experienced ground operator I have ever worked with. I give them my strongest possible endorsement--CrossOver Peru is a top-notch company that will take outstanding care in every detail. Don't hesitate to engage them if you want an unforgettable adventure!!

The trip was full of visual spectacles. We were fortunate with great weather that allowed us to spend time and absorb all the areas. From glaciers and mountain tops to rain forest. Rainbow mountain with an offshoot to the red valley was an absolute highlight. So was the food, amazing!!!

The Salkantay trek was amazing. The terrain was very challenging but so beautiful! We had a great tour of Machu Picchu led by Yaritza where we learned so much about the history and significance of this amazing place.

Trip of a lifetime! Wonderful trip to experience with my daughter. The hike challenged me in so many ways, but the feeling of accomplishment when we reached the summit of Mt Salkantay will stay with me forever. The pre-trek acclimation activities were awesome, we loved every minute. Except maybe the 6 hours downhill - my knees didn't love that lol.

If there were 100 stars, I would give Yaritza 100 stars. I can't say enough GREAT things about her. She was kind, knowledgeable, flexible, and the perfect guide to be in charge of 11 women. Her English was perfect - and she always made us feel safe and believed in us. Hardest physical thing I have ever done, but all around amazing trip. I am still on Cloud 9!

The most amazing experience of my life!I can’t even begin to describe this incredible adventure. It was the absolute best because of our guide Yaritza and the support from Crossover Peru! Please use them and you won’t regret it! The business actually cared that one of us got sick and made sure we were all able to reach our goal. The views were absolutely breathtaking and I appreciated Yaritza encouraging us to enjoy the “journey” to Machu Picchu and not just the end goal. The chef, Gregorio, was incredible and Aaron was our Lead Porter. They have the hardest and most important jobs and we felt like family by the end of our trek. This trip was life-changing. There were 5 of us from Missouri and then 6 other women that we met from Nashville and Wisconsin. They were all adventure-minded women and we bonded quickly over our time together. The encouragement and support from this group will not be forgotten and we now have new life-long friends. Thank you, Yaritza and our second guide, Luz, for everything!

100% RecommendI can’t recommend Crossover Peru enough. This company is not only incredibly socially responsible, they also created a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Yaritza, is one of the most inspirational women I have ever met. She went above and beyond to make sure each person was protected, while also making sure the entire group had an amazing time. She was incredibly compassionate as we made our challenging journey. Our second guide Luz worked fantastically with Yaritza, making sure our large group of 11 people stayed in sync. Meals were a complete surprise. The chef Gregorio created unbelievable meals and was incredibly accommodating of food sensitivities, even those that were discovered during the trip. Also, Aaron’s team of porters were complete professionals. Our tents were comfortably set up each night, and the guys managed the equipment transfer between sites totally seamlessly. Don’t hesitate, this trip is totally worth it, if your body is up for the challenge!

BEST TOUR EVER!Our tour with Crossover Peru was incredible. First off, our guide Yaritza was FANTASTIC. She was so knowledgeable and kept us well informed. She taught me so much and was so encouraging when the trail got really difficult. She was so patient! She is so warm, funny, and just an amazing person and tour guide. Luz, her assistant, was also fantastic! She was so fun, sweet, and also very encouraging and patient. Gregorio was the chef and his food was incredible. I couldn’t believe what we were eating on the side of the mountain. He even baked a cake on the last night! Aaron was the head porter and he and the team of porters were all amazing. They clapped for us as we came into camp but we should have been clapping for them! They are the hardest working group EVER. It was such a fantastic experience and we felt so safe and cared for. Every detail was taken care of. The 2 days leading up to the trail was really great. It helped to acclimate to the altitude and learn about the wonderful Peruvian people. I really can’t recommend Crossover Peru enough!

Amazing Experience!!The trip was incredible! The service and the food was unbelievable. I loved waking up every morning to hot tea 🙂

This was a fantastic adventure overall, but be aware that not ALL of your belongings that you need for the hike will be transported. The day we arrived we were told that we could put only about 9 lbs into a duffle that would be transported and the rest would go into your daily pack...and then I was asked why my daily pack was so heavy... Aside from that, it was so wonderful to learn about the culture, the hike was difficult, but fun. The group we had was amazing!
