Many of the <strong>treks in Cusco, Peru <\/strong>lead to <strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong>, but there are also other alternative routes that will take you to many other places that are rarely explored and less crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Salkantay Trekking<\/strong> offers a variety of trails that vary from just one day to a grand eight days in total. We&#8217;ve compiled a list of the best treks in Cusco ones you really should try when in Peru, whether you try them on your first visit or when visiting again.

This is mainly due to its name that advertises the fact that it was the original trail that Incas would use all those hundreds of years ago. This trek is challenging in parts as the trail is made up of a lot of stones and steps, making it a little difficult to execute easily. It does eventually take you to Machu Picchu on the 4th day of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/inca-trail\/trek-inca-trail-machu-picchu-cusco-peru\/\">classic trek<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the\nhigh popularity of this trail, you do need to plan well and book a few months\nahead of time. They only let a certain number of people onto the trail each day\nand it requires a special permit. For this reason, the Inca Trail is the most\nexpensive of all treks offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The classic Inca Trail is walked over 4 days, but there are versions that are just <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/inca-trail\/inca-trail-short\/\">2 days<\/a><\/strong>, and another that is 7 days which includes a part through Salkantay, too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/inca-trail-machu-picchu-trekking-alternative-routes-around-cusco-2.jpg\" alt=\"Inca trail, Machu Picchu\" class=\"wp-image-3405\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-salkantay-trek\">Salkantay Trek<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Second to the Inca Trail, in popularity, is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/cusco\/trekking-machu-picchu-salkantay-llactapata\/\">Salkantay trek<\/a><\/strong>. A fantastic trek all round due to the different landscapes and terrains you will pass through. You will go as high as 4,600masl (and a bit more) through snowy mountain landscapes before heading down to jungle terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a real\nmix of climates and allows hikers to see a great range of the Peruvian\nlandscapes over the whole trek. There are options ranging from 2 days to 7 days\nthat include a visit to the amazing Salkantay mountain and the beautiful\nturquoise Humantay Lake, set at high altitude in the middle of glaciers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most Salkantay treks lead to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/cusco\/salkantay-trek-4d\/\">Machu Picchu<\/a><\/strong> at the end, but there are options that take you there and return to Cusco after.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/salkantay-trek-machu-picchu-trekking-alternative-routes-around-cusco-2.jpg\" alt=\"Salkantay Trek, treks in Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3406\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inca-jungle\">Inca Jungle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the perfect trek for all <strong>adventure lovers <\/strong>out there. It&#8217;s another one that will get you to Machu Picchu, but with a bit of fun along the way. The first day will include riding down from over 4,000masl on bicycles, stopping at Incan archaeological sites along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From then on you will be hiking the rest of the way, and get to enjoy the gorgeous hot springs at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-top-hot-springs-to-visit-when-in-cusco-and-how-to-get-there\/\">Cocalmayo<\/a><\/strong> on the penultimate day, which come as a real treat after days of exertion. Again, you will pass through a few different climate zones until you get to the final destination.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/inca-inka-jungle-machu-picchu-trekking-alternative-routes-around-cusco.jpg\" alt=\"Inka Jungle, treks in Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3408\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choquequirao\">Choquequirao<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If Machu Picchu isn&#8217;t enough, then <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-road-to-choquequirao-the-long-hike-to-perus-less-visited-lost-city\/\">Choquequirao<\/a><\/strong> should be next on the list. It is said to be around 4 times bigger than Machu Picchu, and only a quarter of it has been uncovered so far. This has the potential to be a new wonder of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching\nthe archaeological site, you will find that it is much quieter and not many get\nto see it. This is mainly due to the fact that you can only get to it by\ntrekking. There are no roads or railways, so a majority don&#8217;t venture there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few different options available, but the most popular is the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/choquequirao\/cusco-cachora-choquequirao-trek-4d\/\">4-day round trip<\/a><\/strong> back to Cusco or the 8-day adventure that takes you all the way to Machu Picchu.

Along the way, you will get to cross some parts of the original Inca Trail before ending up at the wonderful archaeological site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another version of the trek is available that takes you all the way to Machu Picchu by train.&nbsp; Hikes are available for just <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/huchuy-qosqo\/huchuy-qosqo-trek-full-day\/\">a day<\/a><\/strong> or up to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/huchuy-qosqo\/huchuy-qosqo-trek-to-machu-picchu\/\">3 days<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/huchuy-qosqo-trekking-alternative-routes-around-cusco-2.jpg\" alt=\"Huchuy Qosqo, little Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3410\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rainbow-mountain\">Rainbow Mountain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, not many people knew about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/all-you-need-to-know-to-get-to-rainbow-mountain\/\">Rainbow Mountain<\/a><\/strong>, or as the locals call it, Vinicunca.
