Recommendations for tour operators for Machu Pichu treck?

Hello,

I am currently travelling in central america, but will be travelling down to Peru. I would like to do the the Machu Pichu treck in June. I understand that it is best to book it asap, rather than when I get to Peru (which will be just a month before I hope to do the treck)?

My question is, can anyone recommend a tour operator to book the treck through? I am on a tight travellers budget, so a cheap but reliable one would be great, and I am looking to do the 4 day treck.

Any suggestions much appreciated,
thank you,
Lena

Go to http://www.expatperu.com/expatforums/index.php .. This is the best forum on Peru I think.. Go and post in the Travel forum after you join up.. You have to enter your user name and password twice to sign in properly due to a website glitch just to let you know..

The travel forum is moderated by the The people of South American Explorers travel club (SAE) are delighted to be offering you their 30 years of expertise. With Clubhouses in Lima, Cuzco, Quito and Buenos Aires, plus representatives in the other 10 countries of South America, we have a network of informants that would shame the most ruthless totalitarian regime. So please put us to the test with your most exacting travel-related questions.

Hope this helps..

Try Eric at Erics travel (on Plateros I think) He's a good guy and offers good rates. I'd also recommend one of the alternative treks - particularly Salkantay which is breathtaking as you take in a number of landscapes - If I remember correctly (after bargaining hard) I go this for around 140 dollars.

If you are on a tight budget it may not be the cheapest way to do it, but the best operator in Peru for this sort of thing is Manu Expeditions
