The Salkantay trek is pure adventure!

Travellers feel a sense of giddy excitement as they hike below snowy peaks, over wind-swept plateaus populated by timeless Andean villages, and venture into lush cloud filled with wild orchids and jungle flora. Like the Inca Trail, the Salkantay trek culminates in an unforgettable guided tour to Machu Picchu.

The Salkantay trek is the most popular of the alternate routes to Machu Picchu, commonly chosen by travellers when the Inca Trail is sold out or when travellers prefer a less touristy route.  

              We offer several different Salkantay treks: a standard 5 day trek, a shorter 4-day trek, and a once-in-a-lifetime luxury lodge-to-lodge trek between well-appointed mountain lodges, with gourmet food and impeccable service. In addition to our Salkantay treks, we provide high-quality treks to the Inca Trail, Lares, Choquequirao, the Inca Jungle Trail and Ausangate.

We can plan your entire stay in Cuzco, and recommend tours and activities that will fulfill your personal vision of what an unforgettable Peruvian vacation should be like.
