Machu Picchu- Salkantay 12 day Trek

Are you interested in discovering the hidden beauties of Machu Picchu, Salkantay and its surroundings? Then this trip is for you. Let me be your guide in this incomparable experience. I will take you through timeless paths, where lush forests protect majestic mountains, covered in snow. 

There are many ways to reach Machu Picchu, but walking along the Salktantay is one of the best options. The Salkantay is a sacred road that connects Cuzco to Machu Picchu, via Mollepata.  This road is considered one of the top 25 trips from around the world by National Geographic Adventure.

The Salkantay is a unique opportunity to unveil Peru’s best guarded treasures. It is located 50 km northeast of Cuzco, in the Vilcabamba mountain range, in the south of Peru. During our trip, we will reach high altitudes, passing through Humantay (4,800 m) and Challhuay (3,900 m).  

Not only will you experience the enchanting atmosphere of the Salkantay, you will also see other wonderful places. You will venture through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, just outside of Cuzco. Beautiful towns such as Aguascalientes, Calca, Urumbamba, Santa Teresa and Pisac, will be the scenarios of countless adventures. An array of mesmerizing spots will enchant you, from a well preserved Inca mural, to thermal waters and coffee plantations.

In addition to the star of our trip, Machu Picchu, you will have the opportunity to see other archaeological sites.  I will guide you to Moray, near the Maras Salt Mines. We will also contemplate Ollantaytambo, a religious, agricultural and military center that was built to protect the valley.

Please note you will need to be in good physical condition to join this trip.
