salkantayhumantay2D The Salcantay Trekking is an alternative to the Inca Trail original

The Salcantay Trekking is an alternative to the Inca Trail original and considered by most to be the best alternative route (and maybe even better!). This magnificent trail is perfect for adventurers who wish to become personally integrated in changing ecosystems from one day to the next. This is a very quiet and beautiful walk for normal walkers because it does not need a super physical condition but if you need to acclimatize a few days before, in which you will enjoy the beauty of the place such as the mountains, Humantay lake that is 4200 meters high and Then on day 2 you will arrive at Salkantay, which is 4620 meters high, a 100% recommended trek.

Important Facts - Salkantay Trek + Humantay Lake 2 Days

**Important points:

CONDITIONS FOR MAKING A RESERVATION AND CANCELLATIONS

to make your reservation you need the exact date of your classic salkantay trek departure because there are no changes or cancellations

RESERVATION MONEY DEPOSIT

To confirm your reservation and your participation in the trekking, you need to make a deposit. This deposit is to reserve all your trek services and, most importantly, the purchase of the Machupicchu ticket (the Machupicchu ticket is personal, it cannot be canceled or change date, or transfer to another person )

CANCELLATION POLICY

Cancellations and date changes are not accepted, you simply lose your deposit, there is no refund.

your deposit is not for our pocket ( It is to buy the Machupicchu tickets and these tickets cannot be cancelled.) And it is for the organization of a good trek in okidoki and to have this good organization you have to make advance reservations of all the services that you are going to have during the 4 or 5 days of your trekking and these reservations are made with deposits so as not to have inconveniences or last minute cancellations from our suppliers and if we cancel these reservations we lose our deposits because this is not a game and by making a reservation with our service providers for the treks we are blocking spaces that they can simply give to other tour operators who also need it.

WHAT REQUIREMENTS DO YOU NEED TO OPTAIN THE STUDENT DISCOUNT?

THE ISIC CARD IS NOT VALID BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT FOUND FAKE COPIES… AND IT IS ALSO NOT VALID, CERTIFICATIONS, DOCUMENTS, NOTE FROM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, INTERNSHIPS, ETC.

If you are a student, the discount is 20 dollars but you must have a card from your university with the current date (2025 or 2026) not 3 or 4 years later (not 2027 or 2028). Yourimage. The name of your university.
We need the copy of your original passport and your student card to show it to the government and he will say if it is valid or not because the discount is for the entrance of the Machupicchu and not for our trekking.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

you have to take your original plastic (PVC) student card, not cardboard or paper for your classic salkantay trekking because if you don’t have it your ticket will not be valid and you will have to buy another ticket it is a problem because if there are no spaces you will not visit Machupicchu ( you must be 25 years old or younger)… If you do not have this original card or this information on your student card that the government requires, I recommend you buy a normal adult ticket to avoid problems because we will not be responsible for this…

If you have this information and the requirements as a student, send them immediately (it is not valid if you send them after confirming your reservation) to present them to the government and the government approves them whether you are a student or not…
