Glamping on the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu

Sky Camp | Mountain Sky View | Super Jungle Dome | Sacred Jungle Lodge

Our Exclusive Campsites

When it comes to glamping in Peru, you’ll find some of the best options available along the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu.

At Salkantay Trekking, we’ve carefully designed our camps to give you real rest, plenty of privacy, and a genuine connection with nature. All that, far from the other crowded groups.

From sleeping under a blanket of stars in our iconic Sky Camp in Soraypampa and breathtaking views at Mountain Sky View in Collpapampa, to the Super Jungle Domes and Sacred Jungle Lodges in the cloud forest, every stop forms part of the experience.

With the perfect combination of comfort and incredible scenery, you’ll enjoy a unique atmosphere at every stage of the trek.

Soraypampa, Cusco

Sky Camp

If you've ever wanted to sleep beneath the stars without actually sleeping outdoors, Sky Camp is about as close as you'll get. Our exclusive glass domes offer panoramic views of the Andean sky at night from the comfort of a cozy bed.

Set in Soraypampa beneath the towering peaks of Humantay and Salkantay, this is where you’ll usually spend the first night on the trek. Once the sun drops behind the mountains and the temperature starts to cool, the sky puts on quite a show. On clear nights, you can even see the Milky Way stretching overhead. And if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also enjoy your freshly-made meals in our dining area with stunning glacial views.

Mountain Sky View

Feel connected to nature as you unwind in our dome-style huts made from traditional materials. Floor-to-ceiling views of the surrounding mountains mean the scenery doesn't stop when the hiking does. Private bathrooms, hot showers, and comfortable beds offer a level of comfort rarely found on other trekking routes, allowing you to enjoy plenty of rest and privacy in a peaceful atmosphere.

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning your Salkantay trek and want to know more about our exclusive campsites? Here are the most common questions from travelers about Sky Camp, Mountain Sky View, and what makes our glamping experience different along the route to Machu Picchu.

What makes Salkantay Trekking's campsites different?

We have designed our exclusive campsites to improve the trekking experience, not just add extra comfort.

We have carefully built each camp to blend into its surroundings while giving travelers a chance to rest well, enjoy more privacy, and connect with the incredible landscapes along the route. That means that every night offers something different to match the surrounding environment.

Are there bathrooms at every campsite?

Yes. We've got bathrooms at all our campsites to make the trekking experience a comfortable one for every traveler.

Are there showers at the campsites?

Yes. We've got shower facilities at all the campsites so that you can freshen up after a day on the trail.

Is there electricity at the campsites?

Yes. Electricity is available at the campsites, though availability can vary by location and sometimes gets affected by the weather. We still recommend bringing a portable power bank for cameras, phones, and other devices to keep them charged throughout the trek.

How are rooms assigned?

Every campsite provides domes, huts, or lodges with space for two. We put couples, family members traveling together, and friends who book together in the same room whenever possible.

If you're traveling alone, we'll pair you with another traveler of the same sex and a similar age range. Our team carefully manages room assignments to make sure everyone feels comfortable throughout the trek.

If there's no roommate available that fits the criteria, we'll assign a solo traveler a private double room at no additional cost.

Which campsites are included in my trek?

The campsites included will depend on the specific Salkantay Trek itinerary and service level you choose. You can find full accommodation details on each tour page, or our team will be happy to help you compare the available options.

As an example, the Classic 5-Day Salkantay Trek includes nights at Sky Camp, Mountain Sky View, and Super Jungle Domes.

Which campsite is the most comfortable?

We've designed all our campsites to provide a comfortable, relaxing, and restful experience, but Sacred Jungle Lodge is our most premium accommodation option. It offers additional privacy, extra space, and upgraded facilities compared to the other camps along the route.

Can I see the Milky Way from Sky Camp?

Yes, when the weather conditions are right. Sky Camp sits at a high altitude, far from any light source, so it's an excellent place for stargazing. On clear nights, travelers can often see the Milky Way stretching across the sky above the camp.

Are the campsites suitable for couples?

Absolutely. Many couples choose our upgraded accommodation options, particularly the Sacred Jungle Lodge, which gives you additional comfort, privacy, and space during the trek.

Are the campsites private?

Yes. Our exclusive campsites are for Salkantay Trekking groups only and are set apart from the large public camps used by many other operators. This means you get to enjoy a quieter, more personal experience throughout the trek, with access to bathrooms, showers, and meals cooked by our chefs.

Are the bathrooms private or shared?

This depends on the campsite and type of accommodation. Some camps have shared facilities, like the Andean Huts and Jungle Domes, while others offer private bathrooms.

The specific facilities available will depend on the tour and accommodation type you choose when booking your trek.

Is the shower water hot?

Yes, there's hot water at the campsites. After a long day of hiking on the trails, a warm shower is one of the most appreciated luxuries.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Some campsites have Wi-Fi access, but expect limited connectivity due to the remote locations. Many trekkers take the opportunity to disconnect on a digital detox for a few days and enjoy the experience and natural settings without constant notifications.

What's the difference between Jungle Domes, Super Jungle Domes, and Sacred Jungle Lodge?

All three are located in the cloud forest and are options for night three of the Salkantay Trek, but they offer different levels of comfort and facilities.

Jungle Domes offer a comfortable, deeply connected nature experience, allowing you to stay surrounded by the sights and sounds of the cloud forest. You can expect shared bathrooms and a basic, comfortable bed.

Super Jungle Domes come with upgraded facilities and additional comforts, such as private bathrooms, making them a popular choice for travelers seeking a little more space and convenience.

Sacred Jungle Lodge is our most premium accommodation option, and offers lodgers greater privacy, enhanced comfort, and a more exclusive atmosphere. It's especially popular with couples and travelers celebrating a special occasion.

Where will I stay on the fourth night of the trek?

You'll spend the fourth night of the Salkantay Trek in Aguas Calientes, the town located at the foot of Machu Picchu. We provide accommodation at a comfortable hotel so you can rest fully before visiting the citadel the following morning.

Which campsite has the best views?

That depends on what kind of scenery you enjoy most. Sky Camp is famous for its views of the Humantay and Salkantay mountains and its incredible night skies, while Mountain Sky View offers expansive views across the surrounding valleys. In the cloud forest, the focus shifts from mountain scenery to lush vegetation and tropical landscapes.

Are the campsites eco-friendly?

Yes. We designed each campsite to blend into its surroundings and minimize its environmental impact. We've also built the accommodations from local, natural resources with sustainability, functionality, and your comfort in mind. This way, you get to enjoy the incredible surroundings while helping to maintain the places for future visitors.
