Enjoy a 5 day 4 night trek to Machu Picchu. One of the 25 best treks in the world by National Geographic Adventure Magazine, the Salkantay is a great alternative to the traditional Inca Trail. You will enjoy a unique experience and visit Machu Picchu to top-off your adventure. A professional guide and transport are included.This trek is open to everybody meaning that there are no permit limitations. We will have horses and mules to carry all your gear, and a chef and porters. It’s a beautiful trek that takes us along the highlands of the Andes into the cloud forest. This trek is located less than sixty miles northwest of Cusco in the Vilcabamba mountain range. Rising to 20,574 feet, Mount Salkantay is an outstanding glacier-capped summit worshipped by local Peruvians. Our classic Salkantay Trek is a custom-designed alternative to the traditional Inca Trail. Off the beaten path, this is a cutting edge experience for adventure travelers looking for a little more privacy and authenticity

    This was an unforgettable experience. Breathtaking views, challenging hikes, and good food. The tour guide was wonderful at creating a great experience for hikers of all abilities and making sure slower hikers had enough time to make it each day.
