Salkantay Trek To Machu Picchu Tour Description

This alternative tour allows visitors an incredible experience to walk through one of the most stunning mountains in the Peruvian Andes, the sacred mountain of Salkantay (6.720 m). The hike passes through Quechua communities and lesser-known Inca ruins to finally visit Machu Picchu. This is an alternative hike to the often-full Inca Trail.
