Overview

About

Day 3: From Huayrurocha, we'll hike to the Salkantay Pass, a challenging but rewarding section of our trek.

What you'll do

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey along the remote and majestic Salkantay Trail, a breathtaking 5-day trek to the legendary Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

This ancient high Andean route, an alternative to the classic Inca Trail, winds through 15 stunning ecosystems, from lush cloud forests to dramatic high-altitude passes above 2,100 meters.

Along the way, you'll connect with welcoming local communities, discover hidden Inca archaeological sites, and immerse yourself in the spiritual energy of the Andes.

Your Salkantay adventure includes a certified guide, delicious meals, comfortable accommodations, entrance tickets, and all necessary transportation, so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics.
