Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu
Description
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.
