combine the quite  beauty of the Salkantay  Valley  with the  facinanting  ar4cheoloology  of the inca trail 

Located northwest of Cuzco, Nevado de Salkantay, the cordillera’s tallest peak rises to 6271 meters above sea level.
The name Salkantay means ‘Savage Mountain’ and it is a strikingly beautiful single peak providing a great focal point
for this route. The Salkantay to Machu Picchu trek normally
takes 7 days walking and has become popular with trekkers wanting to combine a quieter less trodden route with a visit to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu.

The trip begins in Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Incan empire. As well as having the opportunity to soak up the local culture, these first two days will also help your body to

acclimatise before you begin the trek itself.
For the first 4 days you will be surrounded with magnificent
scenery and rarely see other groups of trekkers. On the fifth
day you join up with the classic Inca Trail at Wayllabamba and
continue to Machu Picchu arriving at the Sun Gate. Trekking
through diverse environments including cloud forest, jungle
and alpine tundra, there is also the opportunity to visit many
Inca ruins along the way, including Runcuracay,
Phuyupatamarca and Wiñaywayna.

The trek is only a little more difficult than the Inca Trail, and horses are used for the first 4 days to carry food and equipment. Since horses are not allowed on the Inca Trail, you’ll swap over to using human porters for the final section.
Access to the Inca Trail section of this route is restricted by permits to 500 people per day, which includes all the guides
and porters. All permits go on sale in October and dates in the high season sell out on the first day. The earlier you can book your trek, the better chance we have of securing your permit
