This salkantay Trek Was Recently Named among the 25 best Treks in the World, by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine.

A remote and ancient footpath in the same region of the Inca trail, but less traveled and offering more spectacular views. This route provides a magnificent wilderness alternative for those who wish to escape the more congested trekking routes.On the trail, we pass through an amazing progression of ecological zones, from sparsely vegetated alpine meadows flanking two spectacular 20,000' glaciered peaks, down through subtropical forest into the Inca Trail. We arrive later to the "Lost City of the Incas¨, MachuPicchu

WHY YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE REST WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST !!! COMPARE AND SAVE WITH US.

For those who have missed out on permits for the Classic Inca Trail since most dates have already run out..there are great alternatives in the Inka Jungle, Cachicata Trek, Lares Trek and Salkantay trek which also spend their last day of Tour in Machu Picchu.
