This trek is a combination of the classic Inca Trail and the Salkantay Trek, which offers a more off-the-beaten-path experience.
Wat je gaat doen
This unique version of the Classic Salkantay Trek offers a blend of two popular hikes. The first two days follow a common Salkantay trail, but on the third day, we depart the Salkantay trails to enjoy a less-trodden path that connects with the Inca Trail. You'll even get the opportunity to walk a portion of the Inca Trail on the third day.
The Salkantay Trek is named after Mount Salkantay, which stands at an impressive 20,574 feet. On this trek, you'll see stunning blue lakes, glaciers, and rainforest. The last portion of this particular trek has an ecosystem more typical of the Inca Trail, with lush green vegetation and Inca ruins. This trek is a great blend of the two very popular hikes, with an incomparable variety of flora and fauna.
The trek includes 2 nights of camping and 1 night in a B&B in Aguas Calientes.
