About this experience
The Salkantay Trek has become the most sought after alternative route to Machu Picchu. And we do it differently than anyone else.
Camp in front of Machu Picchu. We are one of the very few operators that camp at Llactapata with a direct view of the citadel. Fall asleep looking at Machu Picchu from your tent. Not even the classic Inca Trail offers this.
Private coffee experience. Pick, roast, and brew your own cup at an organic farm in the high jungle valleys. One of the finest coffees in Peru, made by your own hands.
Off the beaten path by design. This isn't a recycled itinerary. Our local expert guides designed this route to avoid crowds and reveal hidden corners of the Andes that most trekkers never see.
Explore Machu Picchu. The UNESCO World Heritage site that needs no introduction. The moment everything builds toward.
100% satisfaction guaranteed. We don't just meet expectations. We go beyond them. Premium service. Personal attention. Every detail handled from start to finish.
