8 Day - Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - Private Service

This breathtaking Salkantay trek takes you through diverse landscapes and altitudes, as we trek around the skirts of Mount Salkantay (6271m/20,568ft) and camp within sight of the snowcapped peaks. We ascend to reach the famous Apacheta Pass at (4,600m/15,088ft) and descend into a tropical area passing Andenes and Chaullay on the far side of the mountain. This Salkantay trek includes: a train ride from the Hydroelectric Dam.  Afterwards, you will spend the rest of the 4th evening relaxing in town and the hot springs of Aguas Calientes. Early on the 5th morning, you will take the bus (or walk if desired) up to Machu Picchu and enjoy the amazing views. Although there are breathtaking views throughout the entire journey to the top, hiking Machu Picchu is an experience of a lifetime. Then, we will take a late afternoon train and catch a bus back to Cusco towards the evening.
