Thank you! Finally.
So, the story goes... I did a moto tour with local friends. I lived in Cusco for a good while, so I can't recommend any official guides.
Salkantay and Lares will cost you between 350-400. I do not want to suggest any guides because I don't want to be responsible for what happens. Your dates are at the end of the rainy season, fyi.
I would not go by yourself unless you know about surviving in areas that, if not ready for, can make you sick... like preparing food and water where the food and water is full of micro-bs that nonlocal stomachs are not equipped to fight off.
Just to let you know, the Inca Trail, albeit popular is beautiful. I'd like to do the other two, just to understand and see the differences.
The moto tour is amazing... dangerous, but amazing.. mostly gravel roads, think kids running up to your bike to greet the "foreign guys", dodging livestock, winding around huge mountains in the middle of nowhere... it was fucking sick dude... loved it.
