Salkantay leg killer

the Salkantay trek was simply amazing. I had goosebumps while climbing to the lake on the first day and it allowed me to see a side Peru that I wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. The food was excellent and our trekking crew was simply amazing. I had one of the best time of my life while walking along the Salkantay trek. I have no doubt that I would do it again tomorrow. The scenery changed from mountain to dry land, glacier, snowy mountains to the jungle. We had the chance to see lots of fruits, coffee plantations, plantains, avocado trees and some parrots.

Overall I would say if you are thinking of doing a trek to Machu Picchu you should choose Salkantay trek before even thinking of the Inca Trail .
