The Salkantay trail is a popular alternative route to Machu Picchu, known for its dramatic high-Andean scenery and natural diversity. When organized by an experienced peru tour operator, this trek offers a well-balanced journey through snow-capped mountains, lush valleys, and ancient ruins, providing a rewarding adventure for travelers seeking an iconic yet less crowded trail.
You can begin this journey from Cusco, Urubamba, or Ollantaytambo—wherever feels most convenient for you. From there, we’ll set off into the heart of the Sacred Valley. Our first stop is the peaceful Huaypo Lagoon, a hidden gem cradled by rolling hills and snow-capped peaks. Here, you’ll have time to breathe in the stillness, admire the reflections on the water, and enjoy a picnic lunch made with fresh local ingredients, all while surrounded by breathtaking views.
From the lagoon, we continue on to Chinchero, a charming Andean village where tradition and history come alive. You’ll wander through its lively market, step inside the colonial church built over Inca foundations, and meet local artisans who’ll show you the secrets of their weaving—an art passed down through generations. The adventure then takes you to Moray, an extraordinary archaeological site of circular terraces. Once used by the Incas as a kind of agricultural laboratory, these rings of stone reveal just how advanced and ingenious their farming experiments were.
Finally, we arrive at the Maras Salt Mines, where more than 3,000 salt pools shimmer down the mountainside. Still worked by local families in the same way their ancestors did, the salt pans create a stunning mosaic of whites and golds against the rugged landscape.

A tour operator organizes and coordinates trips by creating packages that include services like accommodation, transportation, and excursions. They negotiate with suppliers for competitive rates and manage logistics to ensure a smooth experience.
A trustworthy Peru tour company should have licensed local guides, clear pricing with no hidden fees and real reviews from travelers who have already made the trip.

We operate tours across Peru including Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Iquitos, Puno, Puerto Maldonado and other iconic destinations combining culture, nature and adventure.
The best time to visit Peru depends on the regions you plan to explore, as the country has a variety of climates and microclimates. Below is a guide on when it is ideal to visit different destinations:
1. Coast (Lima and the North)
Best time: From December to March.
Climate: During these months, the Peruvian coast enjoys warm, sunny weather, perfect for enjoying the beaches and outdoor activities. The average temperature in Lima hovers around 25°C (77°F). However, keep in mind that in June and July, Lima can experience “garúa,” a coastal mist.
2. Highlands (Cusco and the Sacred Valley)
Best time: From May to September.
Climate: These months correspond to the dry season in the highlands, which means clear skies and less rain, making it perfect for hiking and visiting archaeological sites like Machu Picchu. Temperatures in the highlands can vary, with warm days and cold nights, so it’s advisable to bring suitable clothing for both conditions.
3. Jungle (Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado)
Best time: From May to October.
Climate: During these months, the jungle has a drier climate, making it easier to embark on excursions and wildlife sightings. However, note that humidity remains high and temperatures are warm throughout the year.
In summary, the best time to visit Peru depends on your interests and the regions you wish to explore. Regardless of the time you choose, each season offers unique and exciting experiences. If you need more information or assistance in planning your trip, don’t hesitate to contact our agency. We’re here to help you create the trip of your dreams!
Guides carry a first aid kit for basic medical issues (traveler’s diarrhea, cuts/scrapes, etc.) and receive annual Red Cross training in first aid and other emergency procedures.
Our guides lead over 300 travelers along the Inca Trail each year, and it’s rare for someone to be unable to complete the hike.
In those rare cases where someone hasn’t felt well enough to finish, they have been escorted back to Cusco and generally feel well enough to rejoin the group by train to Machu Picchu a few days later. Cusco has the nearest modern medical facilities, so travelers with a severe medical emergency would need to be evacuated there. Guides and porters have pre-established evacuation strategies should this occur.
We recommend that travelers carry the items that they will need each day while hiking such as water, snacks, camera and film. Porters will carry all of your other supplies including camping equipment, clothes, sleeping bags, etc. We generally ask travelers to bring only the belongings that they will need for the trail and leave any unneeded luggage at the hotel in Cusco or the Sacred Valley.
To prevent porters from becoming overloaded, we ask all travelers to limit their personal belongings to 12 lbs for the hike.
and if you have an extra porter he will carry all your personal stuff and depends on the pottering service you have requested
Full Porter(12kg) Half Porter(6kg) and Porter to carry Sleeping bag and Pad(4 kg)
Although there are places to purchase bottled water occasionally along the trail, we recommend that travelers bring their own refillable bottles to limit plastic waste. Water is boiled, treated with iodine, and then filtered with one of our portable filters (Katadyn and PUR commonly used). It is available in the morning to fill your bottles and at every meal.
