About the Salkantay Trek

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Andes on a Salkantay Trek. Witness impressive glaciers, explore two stunning turquoise lakes, and relax at scenic campsites surrounded by nature. Stop by a traditional coffee farm to see how coffee is made from bean to cup—and enjoy a freshly brewed taste. Later, soak in natural hot springs to rejuvenate after a day of hiking.

As you make your way to Machu Picchu, take in panoramic views from the remarkable Llactapata Ruins.
