Salkantay Trek, Pure Adventure in Nature.
The Salkantay Trek is a true adventure, surrounded by majestic mountains, turquoise lakes, and breathtaking Andean landscapes. Unlike other companies that use skydomes or artificial structures, at Inca Trail Classic we believe the best way to experience this route is by connecting directly with nature and enjoying the outdoors.
Camping under the starry sky, breathing fresh mountain air, and feeling the energy of the Salkantay Glacier make this trek unforgettable. Our goal is to give you an authentic experience, away from crowded campsites, where you can fully immerse yourself in the beauty of the Andes.
The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is not just a hike, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime journey for travelers who seek adventure, stunning landscapes, and the real essence of the Peruvian Andes.
This unforgettable 6-day hiking tour combines the Salkantay Trail and the Short Inca Trail, offering one of the best trekking alternatives to the Classic Inca Trail. Over the first 4 days, you’ll hike through the remote Andes mountains and the edge of the Amazon jungle, camping under the stars in the great outdoors — no hotels, no domes — just pure mountain adventure.
After completing the scenic Salkantay Trek, you’ll start the Short Inca Trail, walking along original Inca paths and entering Machu Picchu through the legendary Sun Gate. This is the only route that lets you experience both the high-altitude beauty of Salkantay and the ancient magic of the Inca Trail.
If the Classic Inca Trail is sold out, this is the perfect alternative trek to reach Machu Picchu. You’ll arrive at the Inca citadel in the afternoon — the perfect time for less crowded views and stunning classic photos of Machu Picchu. Get ready for a real outdoor experience, surrounded by mountains, nature, and history.
