Machu Picchu - Exclusive Lodge-to-Lodge
A once-in-a-lifetime 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 an exclusive week-long lodge-to-lodge trek along a path much less traveled but by many accounts, more scenic and exclusive than the Inca Trail itself.
Your journey spans 7 days and begins and ends in Cusco. Embark on your lodge-to-lodge hiking expedition in Soraypampa, following the ancient Salkantay Route along the Cordillera Vilcabamba to Machu Picchu. Challenge yourself as you trek through nine different biozones, changing altitudes and varied terrain. Traverse lush bamboo forests, avocado orchards and coffee plantations. Soak up the exquisite beauty of Salkantay Glacier and Humantay Glacier Lake and learn the culture and age-old traditions of local Andean families.
By night, indulge in innovative, mouth-watering cuisine, a dip in a natural hot spring and a restful night's sleep in the comfort of an enchanting mountain lodge.
