Salkantay to Machu Picchu Trek
The Salkantay Trail, a great alternative to Inca Trail, is often said to have a more authentic feel than the classic Inca Trail. The 20,500-feet-high Mount Salcantay was one of the holiest Apus, or sacred peaks, in the Inca religious pantheon. After hiking the challenging Salkantay Trek for four days, you’ll really feel like you earned the right to be there. The trail sojourns through incredible landscapes where lowland jungle gives way to highland alpine settings and glaciated mountains, the most impressive of which is Nevada Salkantay. National Geographic Adventure Magazine rated the Salkantay trek as one for the 25 Best Treks in the World. Discover a different side of the great Andes mountain range and get the most amazing views of the mountains by taking this alternative route to Machu Picchu.
