The Salkantay Trek is sometimes known as the Savage Mountain Trek and is the best alternative trek to the Inca Trail. This adventure is specifically designed for those who want to hike to Machu Picchu but are short on time. Witness the amazing biodiversity of the ecosystem in the region and observe how small communities live off-the-beaten-path.
When you start your trip, you’ll feel the thrill of knowing you’re going to be seeing so much within such a short time frame. On your first day, you’ll head up to imposing Salkantay Pass and see the sacred Salkantay Mountain right in front of you. You’ll witness some of the most incredible landscapes on this route, and one of the best is looking out over the white glaciers.
Once you’ve conquered the hike up to the pass, you’ll head down through the misty cloud forest to the edge of the jungle region, where the climate starts to warm up. As you get closer and closer to the Inca citadel, you’ll feel it getting warmer and your heart beating faster with excitement.
Spend the last night in Aguas Calientes and rest well before the ultimate day. Day 3 is your visit to Machu Picchu, and you’ll find it difficult to contain your emotions when you first enter the archaeological site and look over the incredible fortress. You’ll enjoy an informative tour of approximately two hours. In the afternoon, you’ll head back to Cusco for some well-deserved rest and relaxation.

Once we arrive in Soraypampa, we’ll enjoy a filling breakfast and meet our trekking team while they organize all our equipment and cargo mules for the trek. From here, we’ll start hiking the toughest part of the route to the highest point of the trek, the Salkantay Pass, at (4,630 m / 15,190 ft). Although the distance is only 7 km / 4.35 miles, it is a difficult ascent of more than 4 hours. It climbs slowly through the "Path of the 7 Serpents", so-called because of its winding shape. Once at the top, you will be able to appreciate the extraordinary views of the Salkantay glacier (6,271 m / 20,574 ft) and the surrounding valley with other spectacular peaks: Humantay, Tucarhuay, and Pumasillo.

After lunch, you can rest before continuing your hike. In the afternoon, you’ll enter the upper Amazon rainforest and cloud forest. You will hike a distance of 9.5 km / 5.9 miles for about 3.5 hours as the jungle thickens around you and you feel the weather getting warmer. Throughout this stretch, you’ll notice how drastically the environment changes from the cold Andes to the humid jungle.
The scenery along this hike is truly beautiful, and you get to see so much in one day, including colorful hills, unique wildlife, and native plants. At the end of the day, you will arrive at our campsites (Mountain Sky View) in Collpapampa (2,950 m / 9,978 ft), where you will enjoy a well-deserved rest and dinner. When you lay your head on your pillow, you can relax and listen to the sounds of nature, which will help you fall asleep faster.

Here, you’ll also enjoy a coffee demonstration before our transport picks you up and takes you to Hidroelectrica. From there, you’ll walk alongside the train tracks to Aguas Calientes or opt to take the train for an additional US$37.
The Urubamba River accompanies you all the way. Once in the town, you’ll enjoy dinner in a local restaurant before going to bed early, ready for the big day tomorrow.
Today you can sleep in a little later as we leave after 6:00 a.m. In the morning, we will hike through the Santa Teresa Valley and the small village of La Playa.

Also, on the route, you will have the opportunity to taste the delicious granadilla.
We will continue our hike to the bottom of the mountains, where we cross to the other side of the valley. We’ll be accompanied by waterfalls, birds, fruit trees, and tropical plants along the way.
Once we arrive at La Playa, we’ll enjoy the last energizing lunch with our team before attending the coffee demonstration. You’ll learn all about the drink and how it sustains so many families in the region. After some more relaxing, our transport will pick us up and take us to the Hidroelectrica train station. From there, we can enjoy an easier hike along the railroad and the Urubamba River to Aguas Calientes. If you’re exhausted up to this point, you can opt to take a train the rest of the way for US$37.
As we wander the tropical paradise, we can see avocados, bananas, coffee plants, and many bird species. You might even spot the cock of the rocks, the national bird of Peru. You’ll be walking along the same trail that the American professor Hiram Bingham used when he ‘rediscovered’ Machu Picchu after it was lost for centuries.

Explore the Magical and Mystical Machu Picchu
Get up early to enjoy the magnificent day you have been waiting for. You’ll have to arrive very early at Machu Picchu, allowing you to avoid the big crowds and contemplate the best views with few people. We’ll take the bus to the entrance. Once inside, immerse yourself in the magic of the place and enjoy a guided tour of approximately two hours by the important parts. Then, you’ll have time to climb Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain if you have booked tickets in advance.
While here, make the most of the mystical Inca citadel before returning to Aguas Calientes for lunch and the train to Ollantaytambo. From there, our transportation will take you back to your hotel in Cusco at 8:00 p.m.
The big day has finally arrived! You’ve been waiting for it for a long, and it’s finally time to visit Machu Picchu. You’ll need to be up around 4:00 a.m. for a quick bite before we set off to beat the other tour groups. The earlier you get to Machu Picchu, the better. The site opens at 6:00 a.m., so we like to be one of the first groups there for you to enjoy the place with fewer tourists. We’ll head to the small bus stop in Aguas Calientes then enjoy the walk to the entrance.
When you enter Machu Picchu, you’ll feel a deeper and more intense emotion than usual. It’s a truly magnificent sight, and you’ll immediately feel the magic and mystery. Your guide will offer you a tour of approximately two hours to all the important places of this metropolis. If you have booked tickets for Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain, it's time to go hiking.
Later, you’ll need to return to Aguas Calientes for a quick spot of lunch before boarding your train to Ollantaytambo. From there, our private transportation will collect you and take you back to your accommodation in Cusco.
It’s time to stop walking and rest. We assure you that your heart will continue to hallucinate in the Andean mountains for a long time to come!

We want to make your trip to Peru as memorable and as carefree as possible. In this section, you’ll find the answers to all the questions you have about traveling with Salkantay Trekking in one place. Please read the following information carefully – it will help you with any questions about our services.
Is it for me?
The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is an excellent alternative for the Inca Trail trek and better suited for more adventurous trekkers who can handle higher altitudes and longer distances. Ascending to reach the famous Salkantay Pass (4,630 m / 15,190 ft) is not too strenuous nor very steep since it is at the beginning of the trek. Still, it does require stamina and a little time in Cusco to acclimatize to the altitude before beginning the trek.
How many days do I need to acclimate in Cusco before the Trek?
It’s very important to be well acclimated to the altitude before exerting yourself on a trek. We recommend that you arrive in Cusco at least 2 or 3 days before the trek starts to help you adjust and avoid possible problems with altitude sickness while on the trek.
You might have already been in another area of Peru at a high altitude before arriving in Cusco. In that case, we still recommend you have a whole day in Cusco to rest, recover from your travel, and enjoy the sights and sounds of Cusco before departing for the trek.
Here some suggestions for activities to do in the Cusco vicinity before starting your adventure trek:
Briefing or Informative Meeting
All information meetings and briefings are held in our main office in Cusco (or your hotel) at 5:00 pm, one night before the tour begins. These meetings last approximately 30 to 45 minutes. If you’re unable to attend, you must coordinate another time by email, by phone or at the Salkantay Trekking office.
Trek Balance Payment (in Cusco)
If you still have a pending balance, you must pay it 2 days before your hike/tour. Otherwise, your trip reservation will not be confirmed.
If possible, it would be greatly appreciated if you could settle the remaining balance for the trek/tour in cash, either in US dollars or the local currency, at our office in Cusco. You can withdraw funds from various ATMs located along Avenida Sol, offering both US dollars and Peruvian Soles. Alternatively, you have the option to pay using a credit/debit card or PAYPAL, either online or in person, but please note that a 5% service charge will be applied by our payment gateway (Niubiz) and PAYPAL. We regret to inform you that we are unable to accept bank checks or traveler's checks as forms of payment for the balance.
Duffle Bag or Travel Bag
The evening before the trek, we'll provide you with a duffle bag to pack your clothes and personal gear needed for the trip. Our horsemen will carry it on the route and hand it to you once you get to each camp. Please note that you will not have access to your items in the bag until the end of each day.
The maximum weight allowed is 7 kg / 15.4 lb, including the weight of your sleeping bag, clothes, and other personal items. They measure 60 x 24 x 22 cm (23.6 x 9.4 x 8.7 in).
Can I store my luggage at your office?
Of course! During the trip, your main luggage can be stored at our office (you can organize it with us on the briefing day or by email) or at your hotel, both free of charge.
Any equipment that you won’t need on the trek can be stored safely in your hotel. Nearly every hotel will provide this service. Don’t leave items of value with your bags; put them in the hotel safe and obtain an itemized receipt (in the unlikely case of theft, many insurance companies require that you have a copy of the receipt itemizing everything). It’s best to put items such as credit cards inside a sealed, signed envelope for extra peace of mind.
Pick up of guests
Please note:
- All pickups are within Cusco City, but we recommend booking a hotel in the historic center for its convenient location.
- Our guide or staff will confirm the pickup time the day before the tour.
- Due to traffic conditions, the pickup time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes.
- Cusco is an old city and has many narrow cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnbs are located on streets without car access or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to transport luggage. For such reasons, we strongly advise you to book accommodation with good access.
Return to Cusco
Returning from Machu Picchu requires quite a bit of logistics, but don’t worry. Everything is included in your tour!
- In Machu Picchu, you’ll board a bus that’ll take you for 25 minutes to the small city of Aguas Calientes. The buses are boarded according to arrival.
- In Aguas Calientes, you’ll board a train to Ollantaytambo. Your guide will give you the train tickets where the boarding time will be shown. Make sure you’re on the platform 30 minutes early. The train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo takes 1:45 hours.
- Once you arrive at the station, our representative, identified with the Salkantay Trekking clothing, will be waiting to transfer you to Cusco or directly to your hotel. The trip from Ollantaytambo to Cusco takes 1:30 hours.
- In Cusco, depending on your hotel’s location, we’ll take you to a smaller car from our company (Hyundai H1) to transfer you faster to your hotel.
Note: Your tour includes a One-Way Consettur Bus Ticket Aguas Calientes - Machu Picchu, so you can choose to use it from Aguas Calientes to Machu Picchu or from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes. If you want a round-trip bus ticket, you’ll need to pay an extra of US$ 12.00.
Group Tours
Group tours are made up of different types of people, then physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also accept that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, each person can go at their own pace on the route.
It may be the case that a group wishes to modify the tour; however, the guide will be the one who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if such modifications are possible.
Strikes and demonstrations
Strikes and demonstrations are common in Peru, and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked, and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your trip as originally planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date.
Under these circumstances, tours may also be canceled. In case of changes or cancellations, everything will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority, and our decisions will be made to protect it.
Lost objects
Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our transport, tents or restaurants. You’re the only one responsible for your objects during the tour.
