Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu

An epic alternative to the Inca Trail raw nature, ancient spirit

If you’re looking for breathtaking scenery, physical challenge, and fewer crowds, the Salkantay Trek is your perfect adventure. Named after the mighty snow-capped Mount Salkantay (6,271 m), this multi-day trek takes you from glacial peaks to lush cloud forests, ending with an unforgettable visit to Machu Picchu.

Unlike the Inca Trail, no permits are needed giving you more flexibility. You’ll hike past turquoise lakes, cross high mountain passes, and sleep under starry skies. It’s a journey for those who want to feel the Andes in their purest form.
