Salkantay Trek Offers a Unique Path to Machu Picchu


The Salkantay Trek has become one of Peru’s most celebrated hiking routes, offering an incredible alternative to the famous Inca Trail. This unforgettable journey takes travelers through dramatic landscapes, remote mountain paths, and breathtaking natural scenery while leading toward the legendary Machu Picchu. With its combination of adventure, culture, and discovery, the trek provides a remarkable way to experience the beauty of the Andes.


One of the highlights of this experience is the special camping location facing Machu Picchu, offering a rare opportunity to admire the iconic site from a peaceful and unforgettable viewpoint. Surrounded by the beauty of the hydroelectric valley, travelers can enjoy the magic of the ancient citadel while relaxing in a unique mountain setting.


The adventure also introduces visitors to the rich traditions of the region through a visit to an organic coffee farm located in the high jungle valleys. Trekking in a small group along a carefully designed route allows guests to explore hidden landscapes, connect with local culture, and discover paths away from the usual crowds.


The journey reaches its grand finale with visits to Machu Picchu and the stunning Humantay Lake, creating a perfect balance of natural beauty and historical wonder. Combining challenging trails, immersive experiences, and unforgettable views, the Salkantay Trek offers travelers a meaningful connection with Peru’s landscapes and ancient heritage.

We absolutely loved our time on the 5 day Salkantay trek. From the accommodation, food and guide it was a luxury experience. Franz our guide was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionate, keeping us all in good spirits through the trek. We were in a group of 10 who all had similar capabilities which really added to the experience. The food was absolutely delicious with several options everyday. It’s was incredible that even in such remote campsites we ate such superb food. The accommodation was great and felt very luxury. I would highly recommend this company.

We did the premium 5 day Salkantay trek - and it was absolutely perfect. Amazing communication. Amazing guide (Edwin was the best!!) and chef/porter!! We couldn’t be more pleased with level of service (meeting at top of Salkantay pass with hot coca tea for just one example) and kindness from everyone we met. The accusations are absolutely amazing. Food was perfect - and accommodating to my food allergies and our friends gluten free needs! I highly recommend ST for your Peru trek.

The classic 5 day Salkantay Trek with Salkantay Trekking was an unforgettable experience and the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide, JC, was phenomenal, knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cared about our group. He made the whole journey so enjoyable and made sure we were all having a good time as well. The food was absolutely delicious (way beyond what I would have thought while trekking), and the domes were super comfortable. We had mostly warm / hot showers which was lovely. Everything was well organised and we didn't have to think about anything across the 5 days. Make sure to bring lots of layers, the weather changes so much throughout the trip. Our group all spoke English, was similar in age and ability which made for fun, smooth and memorable days. Highly recommend the classic 5 day trek – and if you get JC as your guide, you’re in for something special! Thank you JC!
