Join us for a remarkable 6-day Salkantay Trek, a journey of discovery through Peru's breathtaking landscapes and ancient history. From our initial sunset at Soraypampa's Glass Cabañas to the ascent towards the iconic Humantay Lake and Salkantay Pass, each step brings new wonders. We venture through lush cloud forests to the Hobbit Houses, savor the richness of local coffee farms, and climax with the mystical allure of Machu Picchu. Our path is filled with glacier vistas, rich jungle life, and celestial nights, creating memories and bonds that last a lifetime.
