You get to meet new friends along the way, have a fantastic time, and end it all with a visit to one of the modern world&#8217;s wonders. With a selection of ways to get to Machu Picchu, how do you know which one you should choose? Well, today we\u2019re here to help you and let you in on the <strong>top 5 reasons<\/strong> why you should choose the <strong>Salkantay Trek<\/strong> <strong>Peru<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/trek-to-Machu-Picchu.jpg\" alt=\" tourists in Machu Picchu\" class=\"wp-image-3688\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Trek to Machu Picchu by Salkantay Trekking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-scenery\"><strong>The Scenery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to the other treks available, the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/salkantay-trek\/\">Salkantay trek<\/a><\/strong> Peru has the most <strong>stunning scenery<\/strong>. You\u2019ll pass through various climates and see some of the most spectacular views you\u2019ve ever seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get to experience cold temperatures and snowy mountain peaks before you descend into the cloud forest, which is incredibly misty. Once you emerge on the other side, you\u2019ll be heading into the jungle, where you\u2019ll no longer feel the cold but rather very warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you take your camera with you to enjoy all the fascinating landscapes for years to come and show everyone at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-Scenery-Salkantay-Route.jpg\" alt=\"magnificent scenery on the Salkantay trek Peru\" class=\"wp-image-3689\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-places-you-visit\"><strong>The Places You Visit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the Salkantay trek, you get to visit some excellent sites as well. No one wants to set off on a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/machu-picchu-tours\/\">trek to Machu Picchu<\/a><\/strong> and not see any other Inca ruins. Well, fear not! On the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/cusco\/trekking-machu-picchu-salkantay-llactapata\/\">5-day<\/a> Salkantay trek Peru,<\/strong> you visit the spectacular sire of <strong>Llactapata<\/strong>. It\u2019s truly stunning, and you even enjoy your first sighting of Machu Picchu in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as that, on your first day, you\u2019ll hike up to the wonderful <strong>Humantay Lake<\/strong> that, many describe as a gem in the middle of the mountains. It boasts a beautiful clear turquoise color in the middle of towering mountains with snowy peaks. You won\u2019t have seen anything like it before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that isn\u2019t enough, you\u2019ll pass through the amazing <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/humantay-lake-salkantay-pass\/\">Salkantay Pass<\/a><\/strong> at over 4,600m on the second day. Not a lot of people can say that they\u2019ve hiked that high. It\u2019s an excellent spot to get some memorable photographs. In addition to all the walking, you probably want some time to rest. You get to visit the Cocalmayo hot springs, a very welcome spot for some rest and relaxation after all your trekking. You can relax in the hot water with mountains and rivers rushing past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Salkantay-Pass.jpg\" alt=\"Salkantay Pass in the Salkantay trek Peru\" class=\"wp-image-3690\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Salkantay Pass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-less-crowded\"><strong>Less Crowded<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sure, the sound of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/trekking-in-peru\/inca-trail\/\">Inca Trail<\/a><\/strong> is exciting, but due to its name and immense popularity, it can be full of people. Not everyone wants their time hiking through rough mountain roads to be busy with other visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Salkantay trail<strong> <\/strong>is, in general, much quieter. If you get ahead of the group or decide to lag a little, you may find that you get some time to enjoy the stunning surroundings. You\u2019ll also find the campsites relaxing with a few other folks around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Less-Crowded-salkantay-route.jpg\" alt=\"Salkantay trail to Machu Picchu\" class=\"wp-image-3691\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-experience-how-people-live-in-the-wilderness\"><strong>Experience How People Live in the Wilderness<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking through the mountain trails, you\u2019ll occasionally come across small communities. It can be fascinating to see how people live up here, as it differs from what you\u2019ll be used to. They are super friendly and always happy to see trekkers passing by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find that many don\u2019t have electricity and grow much of their food, as it\u2019s no easy feat for them to get to the grocery store or corner shop to top up on necessities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also be stopping for lunch in many of these areas along the trek, where you\u2019ll get to taste some of Peru&#8217;s best Andean food. To your surprise, the chefs will manage to cook up a delicious feast, whether in a hut or tent! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Experience-How-People-Live-in-the-Wilderness.jpg\" alt=\"Tourists enjoying the delicious food prepared by our Andean chefs\" class=\"wp-image-3692\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-cost\"><strong>The Cost<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason many choose this trek, and we think it\u2019s an excellent option, is that it doesn\u2019t cost too much. In comparison to the Inca Trail, it\u2019s much more affordable. The main reason is that the Inca Trail requires a special permit, whereas the Salkantay doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price tag makes this hike much more accessible for everyone, and you\u2019ll still have the most beautiful time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/The-cost-to-do-the-salkantay-trek.jpg\" alt=\"Image of american dollars\" class=\"wp-image-3693\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choose-the-salkantay-trek-you-won-t-be-disappointed\"><strong>Choose the Salkantay Trek; You Won\u2019t Be Disappointed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, there you have it! Our top 5 reasons why you should opt for the Salkantay trek. Of course, the list could continue, but we think this is enough to help you decide. The scenery, places you visit, and the Andean villages along the way will amaze you and make for some perfect shots with your camera. This is the trek for you if you like small groups and something more affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Choose-the-Salkantay-Trek.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3694\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most popular activities for anyone visiting Peru, and especially Cusco, is a trek to Machu Picchu.
