The Salkantay trek is a well-known alternative route to the Inca Trail, offering a varied landscape over five days. The hike begins with views of snow-covered peaks such as Humantay, then moves through different ecosystems including the Cloud Forest. Along the way, trekkers follow part of the original Inca Path. This small-group hike includes three nights camping in mountain locations and one night in a 3-star hotel at Aguas Calientes. The itinerary includes a visit to an organic coffee farm in the high-jungle valleys and ends with a visit to Machu Picchu. The trek covers the Salkantay and Humantay Lake trails and crosses the Salkantay Pass. The package includes all transportation needed during the trek, hotel pickup and drop-off, meals from breakfast to dinner (except on the last day for lunch and dinner), and a professional mountain guide. Equipment such as backpack covers, camping gear including private dining tents, and safety items like walkie-talkies, oxygen, satellite phones, and first aid kits are provided. The entrance fee for Machu Picchu (Circuit 2 or alternatives if unavailable) and one-way bus tickets from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu are included. The return trip to Cusco is by panoramic train (Expedition or The Voyager). The group is supported by an expert chef, porters, and horsemen. Optional horseback rides are available on the first and second days but are not included. Travel insurance, trekking poles, and sleeping bags must be arranged separately. Participants should arrive in Cusco at least two days before the trek for altitude acclimatization. A pre-departure briefing is held the day before the hike at 5:00 PM. The trek is physically demanding and suitable for those in good health. Children aged 12 and older may join if accompanied by an adult. Vegetarian and vegan meal options can be requested in advance.
