Salkantay Trek To Machu Picchu 5 Days And 4 Nights

This trek runs beneath the magnificent Salkantay mountain (20,569ft), one of the highest and most stunning in the Andes.

The Salkantay Trek was recently named on the National Geographic Ultimate Adventure bucket list – defined as “The 20 most extreme, hair-raising, legendary adventures on the planet.

” It is a trek open to everybody, and the most popular alternative to the Inca Trail trek.

This offers 4 days of trekking through various landscapes including highlands, cloud forest, rain forest and dry mountain.

Throughout the trek you have amazing views of Apu Salkantay, Pumasillo Mountain and Humantay Mountain, three of the most stunning peaks of the Vilcabamba Mountain range.

  Our trek includes the services of lodging in a very nice hotel on the fourth night of the trek, a very unique coffee plantation tour in the afternoon of day 3, and dinner at great local restaurant in Aguas Calientes.
