Overview

Adventurous travelers who want to make the pilgrimage to Machu Picchu but avoid the crowds of the popular Inca Trail should consider this off-the-beaten-path alternative. The Salkantay Trek takes you through majestic mountains and ends with spectacular views of Machu Picchu. Plus, while spots on the strictly-permitted Inca Trail sell out months in advance, the lesser-known Salkantay Trek is open to last-minute bookings, making it ideal for spontaneous travelers.
  • Embark on the 4-day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu
  • Stay at private, crowd-free campsites with spectacular views
  • A maximum of 8 participants ensures individual attention from your guide
  • Don’t worry about added costs—everything (from hotel pickup to meals) is included
