Salkantay Trek 5 days 4 nights, through incredible landscapes where lowland jungle gives way to highland alpine settings and glaciated mountains, the most impressive of which is the snow peak Salkantay.  If you have missed to sign up on time for the Inca trail, the Salkantay Trek 5 days 4 nights, is your best option to get to Machu Picchu.

There were lots of downhills, which was really nice since it didn’t require much uphill. And the top of the uphills were really pretty and had very nice views.

Everything was great. Trail was hard but beautiful. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced and extremely accommodating. Food was too good, we couldn’t eat everything.

I'd like to give Valencia a higher rating than 2 stars, but I cannot do so because of theri very dishonest marketing. The Salkantay Trek was a massive dissappointment. They advertise the trek as being out in the wilderness, but it's not. The first night, you're camping out in the mountains as advertised. After that, you're actually camping in towns (essentially on someone's front lawn) where there are cars, barking dogs, etc. On the fourth day, you have a moderately difficult (15 miles, 3000 feet of elevation gain right off the bat) day, but not too hard. The night before, there were at least 15 dogs that started running around and barking at 9pm. At one point, the dogs ran around our tents and it seemed like they were fighting. They didn't shut up until after 4am, and we were scheduled to wake up at 5am. I did the last day hike with 0 hours, 0 minutes, and 0 seconds of sleep. A couple of other people in my group didn't get any sleep either. Multiple people in my group felt that the marketing was extremely deceptive because all their photos show you camping out in the mountains in the wildness - not sleeping on someone's front lawn in a town with out of control dogs running around all night. The guide and the cooks were good, though. They did their job and so I cannot criticize them. I just cannot recommend the Salkantay trek to anyone, though, because it is not what is advertised. Also, there are insane amounts of garbage on the trail. Everywhere. I didn't pick up any garbage because all you carry is a day pack and so I had nowhere to put the garbage. If they gave everyone a garbage bag that you could tie to your day pack, I'm sure many people would pick up garbage that they see and they could crowd source a solution. In a few months, the trail could be cleaned up.
This tour in Peru is organized by Valencia Travel Agency S.a.c.
