Summary

Beginning and ending in Cusco, the former capital of the Incan Empire, discover spectacular scenery on the Salkantay Trek. This remarkable 4-day trek winds through lush jungles, across high mountain passes and beside serene azure lagoons. Trekking along the slopes of majestic Salkantay Mountain reveals some of the most mesmerizing vistas Peru has to offer, and with far fewer trekkers than the Inca Trail, you can immerse yourself in nature in this remote paradise. This trek, named one of the "25 Best Treks in the World" by National Geographic, culminates at the magnificent, Incan Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
