Overview
Discover one of the most breathtaking routes to Machu Picchu with the Salkantay Trek, a perfect alternative to the Inca Trail. This 5-day adventure takes you from the snowy peaks of the Andes to the lush cloud forests of the high jungle, offering an unforgettable mix of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and physical challenge. Hike past the majestic Salkantay Mountain (6,271 m), explore hidden Inca sites, and relax in thermal springs under the stars. Each day offers a new and stunning landscape—from alpine lakes and towering glaciers to tropical valleys rich in orchids, waterfalls, and coffee plantations. Along the way, enjoy delicious meals, comfortable domes and cabins, and expert guidance from local professionals.
Meeting and Pickup
For travelers who do not require hotel pick-up, we will meet at a designated location in Cusco (or Urubamba/Ollantaytambo, depending on the briefing details). The exact meeting point and time will be provided in advance during your pre-departure briefing.
Pickup Information
Pick-up will be from your hotel in Cusco, provided it is within the city limits. For accommodations located outside this area (such as in the Sacred Valley or rural zones), we can coordinate a central meeting point in Cusco. Please be ready in your hotel lobby at the scheduled time.
