Trekking

10-Day Peru Salkantay Trek and Condors Nest Experience Premium Guided Trip

Peru

10 days

Difficulty:Moderate

Trip Type:Comfort

Group size:8

Highlights

Out of all the treks to Machu Picchu, few can compete with the Salkantay trek in terms of scenery. It’s a spectacular route, passing through jungles and mountain passes, and dotted with azure lagoons. At the heart of the trek is Salkantay Mountain, which at 6,271 m (20,574 ft) is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba mountain range and the twelfth-highest in Peru.

Due to the altitude of this trek, it is highly recommended that you spend at least two days acclimatizing at higher altitudes. As such we have designed this itinerary such that you spend two days in Cusco before embarking on your trek.

Highlights:

- 7-day Salkantay trek staying in beautiful lodges in the mountains with top-notch amenities

- Full day in Condors Nest, a capsule suspended 400 m in the mountain, including via ferrata and zip-lining.

Please note that we need at least 2 people to run this group trip. The dates can be adjusted to meet your schedule.
