5 Days Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu
Description
Salkantay Trek is listed as one of the 25 best treks in the world by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine. The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous treks in Cusco and is undoubtedly the best alternative trek to experience the original Inca Trails. This trek takes you through many different types of landscapes. You will have the best opportunity to see the typical Andean landscape up to the snowy mountains, the tropical forests and, finally, venture into the dense Inca jungle. If you are thinking of taking a trekking trip to Machu Picchu and want to be off the beaten treks, near the Andean communities and appreciate the beautiful and diverse nature of Peru, the Salkantay Trek is highly recommended

We had a great experience with Peru Adventure Trek. The meeting the night before leaving made everything clear. They handed us our train tickets and Machu Picchu tickets too. They booked us the circuit 2 without us having to ask which we really appreciated (it’s the best circuit). They explained the trek more in detail and now, after finishing the trek, we can confirm that the information we were given was really accurate. The pickup was easy, someone came to get us at our hotel. The communication was easy via WhatsApp. At the end of the 5th day, someone was waiting for us to bring us back to Cusco after our train ride which was nice (we didn’t have to pay extra for bus tickets). Overall I really had a great experience with this company!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We are truly happy to hear that you had such a great experience with Peru Adventure Trek. It was a pleasure to organize your trek and make sure everything was clear and well coordinated from the beginning, from the pre-trek briefing and tickets to your transportation back to Cusco. We are especially glad that the information provided before the trek was accurate and helpful throughout your journey. Thank you for trusting us and for taking the time to share your experience. We really appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again in Peru for another unforgettable adventure! Warm regards, Peru Adventure Trek Team

A completely recommendable experience. Great welcome from the beginning to the end, with high-altitude chefs who cooked for us as if we were at a Michelin star restaurant. Not to mention our guide Smith, who made it possible to explore those spectacular trails and mountains, always taking care of us and ensuring we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest. We liked it so much that we also booked Pallaypunchu with them, a little-known but wonderful mountain. Definitely worth repeating! Thank you for making it possible! A little piece of us has stayed at over 4500m.a.s.l.!

We went through the Peru Adventure Trek Agency to do the sacred valley then the Salkantay trek over 5 days and they were two very good experiences! The manager Javier listens to our needs, concerning the Sacred Valley we saw the main points of interest but also had the right to workshops and tastings! As for Salkantay, the accommodation and food were impeccable, and the landscapes magnificent 🥰
It is a sublime Trek, you are in contact with nature 🏞️. Beautiful views, diverse ecosystem, meditative and spectacular walks. Brayan was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It helped us all stay motivated and smiling. Thank you! Unmissable experience.
The trek is excellently well organized. The guide Brayan is an expert in Inca history and is very willing to explain in detail every question you have. It is one of the best experiences of my life.
