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.
@@kbhhbk Do you know if it's vegetarian friendly?
@@kbhhbk Thank you SO much for your input 🤙
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.

Nice
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.
Haha, we also walked that in 2019.
This is VERY helpful! Thank you. Any alltrails map links for that trail? Im hitting this trek again in late Feb and want to try that out!
Finally, the trek got the cinematography that it deserves!

До чего же красота) Всем привет из Донецка) Всем мира над головой и хорошего настроения )
Keeping with your, Kraig！
That‘s great
I imagine that was the best cup of coffee you will ever have in your life. What an awesome journey!
Your fans are in Korea, too, and I watch many trackers, but your video is the best. Your video makes you feel healing without walking.
I did the Salkantay trek last year. It is an amazing hike, so beautiful! This video brings back wonderful memories.
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.

I haven't seen this video in full yet, but I wanted to share how seriously crafted these shots are, coupled with the editing. It's brilliant, beautiful, and awe-inspiring. I hope to achieve a craft like this in my lifetime.
Fantastic. It's REAL coffee break, man
beautiful images. Thank you for coming. You are always welcome.
Nobody makes these little films like you. Magical. Informative. Transporting, reallly. Thank you.

One of my dream is going to Machu Picchu. Hopefully, someday i'll make it.
Thank you very much Adam. Thanks to you I have fallen in love with hiking and nature and above all with the fact of being able to go alone without needing anyone else. You are a great inspiration to many people.The information you give after the trail is super important, I am very grateful to you. A huge hug!

5:05 Man, sometimes the universe just hands us a gift and says "good luck capturing this with your camera". What a scene in that moment. Great stuff dude. Took me back.

@@JejakARDANA oh I know that location very well ❤️
КАК ПРЕКРАСЕН ЭТОТ МИР! СПАСИБО ЧТО ВИЖУ ЭТО ВАШИМИ ГЛАЗАМИ!
Another video example of "Kraig sees dog = Kraig's new best friend" looks like a great trip thanks for bringing us along!
Stunning isn't even the word for your videos. Literally a blessing to watch they're so beautiful.
Incredible. Just incredible video and narration. Incredible. Thank you.
Kraig is the king of solo hiking videos.. PERIOD.
I dream of going to Machu Picchu. Mystical and majestic. Beautiful video as always.
Drone shots are just RIDICULOUS. Amazing photography
czcams.com/video/2YiP-ZKM6PY/video.html❤️
beautiful spot indeed!
the opening shots were out of this world. and the explanation was exactly what i needed. if i am ever going to do this. THIS video would be my inspiration
That dog is the absolute best thing I have ever seen
I love how you always encounter a dog
Love your videos, they’re simply amazing!
I wish to repeat Salkantay route with the dronse. Those days I will never forget. The most paid-off trip ever in my life.
Hiked this as one-day. The weather was misty and it was raining back then rather than this beautiful weather you have on the video.
I have to say I fully enjoyed it, even though the visibility was not that great - it still gave you goose bumps, especially when in around the lake, watching the glaciers/snow in the background. Peru is amazing!
As always great music, incredible footage!

Another gem Kraig. I love the drone opening sequence. Also this is a beautiful place. Thank you again
Been wanting to do this one forever, and epic and beautiful as always, your shots are amazing. But also the breakdown, invaluable info, thanks for always doing them!
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.
Thanks Kraig for the inspiration. Because of you I just completed the 5 day Salkantay Trek. One of the best experiences of my life. Without your video I don't think I would have ever done it. Thanks again!
How was the altitude? Did you get sick at all?
Love this new style Kraig! Keep it up!
I’m Japanese Kraig Adams.
Good work Kraig!
A flood of amazing memories of that area thanks Kraig.
I was looking to do the Chokequirao trek (alone) and then your video popped up. Im glad, today, that CZcams spy's me.
Classic Kraig Adams video. I like the no talking nature/hiking part followed by the guide informations. The introduction shows some breathtaking drone views. 😍👏👏👏👏

I absolutely love this style of video, thank you for sharing your experience!!
As always, insane footage/shots/music. Well done.
Wow what an intro! It’s always a great day when you post. Thank you for such beautiful videos
This is super great awesome! 🔥❤️
Breathtaking as usual. Thank you!
What an amazing hike! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic Images!!!
A beautiful and inspirational journey as always 😊
Watching your vids got me through the last two years. Amazing videos! Taking me all over the world.
I'm always speechless when watching your material. Absolutely awe inspiring.
Beautiful scenery
I just love how good your videos are, and the quality is just wow thank you again for doing this so professionally 👏👏👏
Adoro seu vídeos lugar muito bonito
Stunning opening! Wow
MP is spectacular! Thanks for the video.
Craig’s videos are my favorite 🤩
Such a calm and peaceful scenery! Amazing filming, editing and soundtrack
Love the addition of detailed explanation of the trek, places to stay etc. Its makes it a lot more interesting. Thank you 🙏🏻
Very inspiring as always, Kraig, and great information. Your Mardi Himal video and guide inspired me get there last April and I had a wonderful time. Looking forward to doing the same here!
Another awesome video man, loved the drone shots and the calmness of the hike. Keep it up :)
Simply perfect. Greetings from Peru.
Awesome video
We did the same walk 2019. Brilliant filmography. To recognise the paths and even some of the rock outcrops was so amazing. Thanks for recreating the journey for us… and the drone shots gave a perspective we missed, fantastic to see…
Breathtaking beauty! Kraig, You are awesome, bro.
What a wonderful video! You capture the essence of the nature along with the culture and the sheer size of Machu Picchu like no one other, just a piece of art!
The second part of this video is just what I needed, sharing your knowledge and inspiring me to make more time for hikes and video making :) thank you!
I didn't expect a hiking video to bring me to tears, but the moment when you smile at the camera and show the fog lifting is pure magic. Just a breathtaking video.

Awesome views! Great job!
Caminhada show demais, lindos lugares
What an incredible video!
Thank you for sharing. Beautiful scenery and music and of course the inevitable dogs. Take care, be safe. Dorset, UK
Did this exact same trek right before the pandemic in 2019! One of my favorite hikes of all time. You perfectly captured the immense beauty of those daunting mountains and the fun little interactions between people/dogs while resting. Had a blast watching this video and seeing all the same parts I enjoyed (same hotel in Aguas too!) Your use of scale was immaculate on this vid!
Thanks for sharing Kraig
Your videos inspire me. Your cinematography always amazes and I get to visit places I'll never get to see first hand. 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.
Those drone shots were breathtaking
great video and congrats on the move to Denver, CO man!! lived there for 2.5 years...miss the place, and "as Im sure you know there is SO SO much hiking and outdoors things to get into. enjoy!!
I’ve did the Salkantay Trek a few years ago and it remains an all-time favorite.
Amazing videos .
Just amazing beyond words can explain 😮😮
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing 👍
Wow incredible place
Amazing vídeo, thank you!!! Next month I'll do this Trek. I can't wait for this.
Kraig, fantastic job making your films! You remind me of myself when I was your age. I would film myself and others and go back and get the camera. It's tedious but effective, and you take it all to another level. Keep up the good work and thanks for the motivation!
Awesome view. I enjoyed the hiking video. The snow scene and the clouds in the alpine region are impressive.Thank you ^^ ⛺️ ☁️ ☁️ ⛅️
lovely video. greate nature, thank you.
Great video!
This is a very beautiful place, great video.
Stunning! Thanks, Kraig! Looks like an amazing trip 🙂

You are the best bro, this is so relaxing and makes me feel so good!
I enjoy dear Kraig, thank you so much
Just BREATH TAKING! There are no words for how beautiful this video is. WOW! Thanks for sharing such amazing adventures with us, Kraig! I am in love with all your videos, they inspire me to get out there! 🙏🏼 🌎 😊 🐾 I always love how you take time to say hi to animals, especially dogs ! 🐕YOu have great energy and they confirm it!
watching this is like the first time ive watch your videos in the beginning. much love our king !
Thank you Kraig. This gives me so much of hope again to do the Salkantay next year 🤞🙏
Very nice, Kraig. We really enjoyed this one. Our compliments.
so beautiful
Another banger Kraig. The intro is fire as always, just as the whole adventure. I guess this one will be one of my favorites, incredible shots of and on Machu Picchu, even (or especially) if it was so cloudy out there. Somehow it just wanted me to watch your Alaska film again ;) CINEMATOGRAPHY on fleek. Just the perfect film to calm down and relax while the world crashes. Have a great weekend Señor, cheers, Mario

I say this a lot with your videos Kraig but this is my favorite. It's going to be difficult to beat this one for me. The atmosphere, the drone intro, the jungle and beauty of this area is something incredible.
I really like your content sir!
Beautiful
what an experienced thanks for this masterpiece
Great and music ❤️
