Description

Short on time? Experience the best of the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu on our three-day trek from Cusco. Also known as the Salkantay Challenge Trek, this trek covers 48 kilometers through diverse landscapes. It starts near the foothills of the snow-capped Salkantay Mountain. Trekking through the turquoise waters of Laguna Humantay, you will be rewarded with sights of colorful valleys and waterfalls. You will then descend to the cloud forest. This is one of the best treks in South America.

The most challenging yet remarkable part of the trek is the hike to the highest point of the trek, Salkantay Pass at 4,600 meters / 15,091 feet. As most passes on this 3-day Salkantay Trek are at high altitude, we recommend you to be well acclimatized to avoid altitude sickness.
