About this experience

Unlike traditional Salkantay tours, this experience is designed for travelers seeking a transformative journey that blends raw nature, exceptional comfort, cultural immersion, and high level adventure.

Over the course of five days, you will not only hike among majestic snow capped peaks, cloud forests, and lush jungle, but also dive into authentic Andean culture, spending nights in hanging capsules suspended on the mountainside and taking part in local experiences such as the Coffee Tour on family owned farms.

From witnessing sunrise over the Salkantay Canyon to enjoying exclusive first views of Machu Picchu from Llactapata, this tour is far more than a trek:
it is a sensory, cultural, and emotional adventure, crafted with top standards of safety, hospitality, and authenticity, making it a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
