Overview

Hike the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu on a 5-day, guided adventure that’s a gorgeous alternative to the crowded Inca Trail. Starting the hike at Soraypampa—instead of Mollepata—saves you a grueling walk over a dirt road, and you’ll take in dramatic Andean terrain and local culture before exploring the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

Horse-supported hike means you won't be carrying a heavy pack
Use provided tents and sleeping pads to stay warm in the mountains
Included meals, camping, and Aguas Calientes hostel take care of logistics
Pre-booked Machu Picchu entrance fees ensure your spot at the site
