The Salkantay trek is an ancient and spectacular trail located in the Southern Region of Peru.

Along the five-day Salkantay trek, travellers will have the opportunity to explore the Peruvian Andean mountain range, stroll through picturesque villages, sample regional gastronomic specialities such as coffee tours and Andean cuisine, as well as visit archaeological sites from the Inca period (Llactapata). Nature lovers will be mesmerised by the wild animals on the riverbanks during their trip to Machu Picchu: a breathtaking experience for all levels!
