Machu Picchu Lodge To Lodge
A lodge-to-lodge journey along the magnificent Salkantay Valley to Machu Picchu
While some visitors spend a day hiking the Inca Trail to reach Machu Picchu, this adventure includes a weeklong lodge-to-lodge trek along a path much less traveled but by many accounts, more scenic and exclusive than the Inca Trail itself.
- Acclimate with a hike to a spectacular glacial lake in Soraypampa
- Circle Humantay Peak taking in 360-degree views of the snow-capped Vilcabamba Range and Salkantay Valley
- Traverse lush bamboo forests, avocado orchards and coffee plantations in Santa Teresa River Valley
- Hike Llactapata pass for jaw-dropping views(that most never see) of Machu Picchu from the Southwest
- Meet an Andean family and learn the culture and age-old traditions of the locals in Lucmabamba
- Watch the day break over Machu Picchu and explore the ruins with a private guide
- Take a well-earned a dip in a natural hot spring and enjoy a restful night’s sleep in the comfort of your enchanting mountain lodge
