This is a very unique version of the Classic Salkantay Trek. The first two days follow one of the common Salkantay trails, but on the 3rd day we depart the Salkantay trails to enjoy a less trodden path that connects with the Inca Trail. You even get the opportunity to walk a portion of the Inca Trail on the 3rd day.
The Salkantay Trek is named for Mount Salkantay (20,574 feet). This Mountain is higher than any mountain in North America. On the Salkantay trek you will see gorgeous blue lakes, stunning glaciers and rain forest. The last portion of this particular trek has the ecosystem more typical of the Inca Trail with lush green vegetation and inca ruins. This trek is a great blend of the two very popular hikes, with an incomparable variety of flora and fauna.
The trek includes 2 nights of camping and 1 night in a B&B in Aguas Calientes.

Traveling to and through unknown country can be stressful and intimidating, especially with kids, but Action Treks Peru made our trip easy and stress free. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We spent five days traveling with our guides and all of the logistics were handled beautifully. The vans, buses and trains were spotless and well maintained and the drivers professional, patient, safe and right on time. We had a conflict with our original briefing and Roxnar adjusted the schedule to fit ours.
The structure of our trip was better planned and executed than many others about which I’ve heard and read. Everyone involved with Action Treks is very knowledgeable, kind, and exceptional at explaining what to expect, which is very helpful when undertaking big challenges with kids. The porters and cooks were fantastic and fun. We played frisbee and football with them as we met them, by name, and gave them small gifts for their kids. It was a great moment in life.
Our guides, Christian, Miguel and Hans, made our journey. Each of them are fun, funny, kind and caring. Listening to Christian’s lessons all along the journey was really wonderful. He is a mix of the best history professor and most interesting story teller. They were patient and attentive. We had nine kids on our trek and they never seemed frustrated or stressed.
Put your trust and faith in Action Treks Peru and you won’t be disappointed!
