About

4-Day Salkantay Trek

What you'll do

If you're an adventurous traveler looking to make the pilgrimage to Machu Picchu without the crowds of the popular Inca Trail, consider this off-the-beaten-path alternative. The Salkantay Trek takes you through majestic mountains and ends with spectacular views of Machu Picchu. Plus, unlike the strictly-permitted Inca Trail, which often sells out months in advance, the lesser-known Salkantay Trek is open to last-minute bookings, making it ideal for spontaneous travelers.

We will collect you at 4:30am from your hotel lobby and drive for 3 hours in our private van to Soraypampa (trailhead). As we travel through curvy roads in the Andes, there are views of the villages of Iscuchaca and Limatambo, the surrounding valleys and the famous spectacular snowcapped Salkantay Mountain. At the trailhead (Soraypampa), we have our breakfast while enjoying the views of the Humantay (5,900mt / 19,356ft) and Salkantay (6,217mt / 20,396ft) Mountain glaciers. We gradually climb through Andean valley landscapes before arriving at Sorococcha (4,400m / 14,517ft) for lunch. Onwards and upwards for one more hour we reach Apacheta Pass (4,650m / 15,367ft). We are breathless with the most spectacular views of snowcapped mountains such as Salkantay(6,277mt), Humantay, Huayanay, agitated white rivers, and small humble lakes. A short 35-minute hike takes us to the turquoise Salkantay Lake. Then hike down for 2 hours to our campsite at Huayracmachay.
