Tours – Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu: The Ultimate Adventure Guide

First and foremost, discover why the classic Salkantay Trek (or salcantay) is world-renowned as the premier alternative to the classic Inca Trail. This spectacular route takes you through diverse landscapes, from the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the lush high jungle.

In fact, it is the perfect choice for adventurers seeking the breathtaking views of the Salkantay Mountain and the turquoise beauty of Humantay Lake.

Furthermore, unlike the original trail, the Salkantay Trek offers much more flexibility for travelers.

For instance, it does not require government permits months in advance, making it the ideal last-minute adventure to Machu Picchu.

In addition, our itineraries are meticulously designed to provide a deep connection with nature, passing through ancient paths and organic coffee plantations before reaching Aguas Calientes.

Adding to this incredible experience, our guests enjoy a unique stay at our Sky Lodge in Soraypampa. Specifically, you will sleep in exclusive domes with large panoramic windows, offering a front-row seat to the starry Andean sky. Indeed, waking up for a stargazing session surrounded by massive mountains and the glowing Salkantay glacier is a glamping memory that lasts a lifetime.

On the other hand, we prioritize your comfort and safety throughout the journey. Consequently, our professional local guides and high-quality camping equipment ensure that you can focus entirely on the epic scenery. Whether you choose the 4-day or 5-day version, you will experience a trek that National Geographic has ranked among the best in the world.

In conclusion, if you are ready for a challenging yet rewarding experience away from the crowds, book your Salkantay Trek today.

Without a doubt, the majesty of the Salkantay peak and the mystery of Machu Picchu await you with Okidoki Travel Peru – Tour Operator!
