Salkantay – Machupicchu
Salkantay – Machupicchu
OVERVIEW
The Salkantay Trek is the number one alternative to the Inca Trail. Located less than fifty miles northwest of the city of Cusco by the Cordillera Vilcabamba. Salkantay is an outstanding glacier-capped summit worshipped for thousands of years by local Indians, well known as “Savage Mountain”. Off the beaten path, this is a cutting edge experience for adventure travelers looking for a little more privacy and authenticity. With more spectacular vistas, the Salkantay to Machu Picchu Trek offers the solitude and quiet contemplation such a sacred path deserves.
