What you'll do

The Salkantay trek is considered one of the finest routes in Peru, but organizing accommodation, meals, and transportation to explore it solo can be a challenge. On this tour, follow in the footsteps of the Incas along the Salkantay route with your guide, and reach UNESCO-listed Machu Picchu with all the key logistics covered. Along the way, admire uninterrupted views from the highlands of Peru to the dense forest and soaring peaks.
