Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 5 Days Experience

The 5-day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is an alternative to the Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu and is considered by most to be the best alternative route (and maybe even better!). This magnificent trail is perfect for adventurers who wish to become personally integrated with changing ecosystems from one day to the next.

You will walk through sweeping, magical landscapes of a snowy mountain paradise to a tropical jungle where you will find a wide range of animals and vegetation. The Cordillera Vilcabamba is an impressive mountain range extending over 260 km. The snow-capped mountain Salkantay rises to 6271m– 20,574 ft in height. It is an outstanding glacier peak, located less than fifty miles northwest of the city of Cusco in south-central Peru, because of its proximity to the city, it is easily accessible by car and it has been climbed by professional mountaineers since 1952.
