Salkantay Trek

I greatly enjoyed doing the Salkantay trek with Salkantay.org . The hiking was definitely challenging, but the guides, cooks, and support staff were very helpful. I definitely appreciated that the cooking and camp setup were handled by the staff.

The first two days climbing up Salkantay are by far the most challenging and the most rewarding, so if you are crunched for time, those would be the days to be sure to experience. The 3rd and 4th day go through the jungle, which I felt was a bit anticlimactic after climbing Salkantay.

If you want to see not only Machu Picchu, but also experience rural Peru, then the Salkantay trek is for you.
