Highlights

The Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu offers one of the most spectacular journeys in Peru. This affordable luxury trek combines rugged beauty with cultural immersion, passing through jungles, mountain passes, and the stunning Humantay Blue Lagoon. At 20,574 feet, Salkantay Mountain is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba range, and this route offers unmatched views of the sacred mountain.

Unlike the standard Salkantay trek, this premium route joins the classic Inca Trail, giving you the best of both worlds: breathtaking scenery and Inca ruins. For a truly bespoke experience, we have carefully curated this journey to ensure you receive the luxury treatment, from tailored accommodations to gourmet meals. Due to the high-altitude nature of this trek, we recommend spending at least 2 days acclimatizing in Cusco before embarking on the adventure, allowing you to fully enjoy this affordable luxury trek to Machu Picchu.

Trip Highlights:

• Scenic Trek to Machu Picchu: Trek the Salkantay route to Machu Picchu with breathtaking views of Salkantay and Humantay Lagoon.

• Cultural Exploration: Discover Inca heritage sites along the classic Inca Trail.

• Exclusive Luxury: A premium trek offering bespoke accommodations, gourmet meals, and expert guides.
