The Salkantay Trek is one of the 25 best treks in the world, according to National Geographic Adventure Travel magazine.
The Salkantay Trek is without doubt one of the best trekking adventures you'll find in Peru and on the South American continent.
After the Inca Trail, the Salkantay Trek is the 2nd most popular Machu Picchu trek (and far less crowded).
Hiking alongside the magnificent Apu Salkantay and arriving at the ruins of majestic Machu Picchu is one of the best experiences known to humankind.
Hikers can see natural bridges, snow-capped mountains, colorful valleys, waterfalls, wild animals, unique plants and a cloud forest.
