Peru Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - Luxury Lodge Edition
duration: 10 days
difficulty: Moderate
group size: 12
experience: Intermediate
Overview
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 20,574 ft/6,271 m is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba mountain range and the twelfth-highest in Peru.
This trek traverses the flank of this sacred mountain, offering some of the most awe-inspiring views in Peru. It’s one of the more challenging alternative routes to Machu Picchu, simply because of the high altitude. Unlike the standard five-day Salkantay trek, this route goes on to join the classic Inca Trail, giving you the best of both worlds: the stunning scenery of Salkantay, including Humantay Blue Lagoon, and the Inca ruins found along the classic Inca Trail.
Due to the altitude of this trek, it is highly recommended that you spend at least 2 days acclimatizing at higher altitudes. As such we have designed this itinerary such that you spend 2 days in Cusco before embarking on your trek.
The cancellation policy for this trip varies from our standard cancellation policy. Please see the cancellation policy specific to this trip.
