Embark on the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, a superb alternative to the Inca Trail, specially crafted for the more adventurous trekkers. Ideal for those who thrive in higher altitudes and relish longer distances, this trek promises a journey of unparalleled excitement.

One of the highlights of the Salkantay Trek is the ascent to the renowned Salkantay Pass, standing tall at 4,630 meters or 15,190 feet. While not excessively strenuous or steep at the beginning of the trek, conquering this pass demands stamina and a bit of acclimatization time in Cusco before setting out. Prepare to be enchanted by the stunning landscapes and the thrill of a trek designed for the daring explorer in you.
