Recently named among the Top 25 Treks in the World by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine, the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is a great alternative to the traditional Inca Trail. The Salkantay Trek is ideal for travelers who are looking for new challenges. You will admire snow-capped mountains, turquoise colors lakes such as the Humantay Lagoon and Salkantay Lake, and pass through the cloud forest and the Peruvian jungle, making this one of the most beautiful and interesting trek of Peru.
Discover the key differences between these two incredible journeys so you can choose the one that best suits your preferences and needs. Both itineraries offer unique and memorable experiences, but each has its own charm and distinctive features. Ensure you select the journey that best fits you, considering your interests, level of adventure, and expectations.
The Salkantay Trek is known for its diverse and spectacular landscapes, including snowy mountains, lagoons, and tropical jungle. It typically lasts 5 days and covers approximately 74 km (46 miles). Unlike the Inca Trail, it does not require permits to be obtained well in advance and is less regulated, offering more flexibility. It reaches higher altitudes, with the highest point being the Salkantay Pass at 4,650 meters (15,200 feet) above sea level.
The Inca Trail is famous for its ancient Inca ruins, stone-paved paths, and tunnels. It is a route rich in history, following the same path used by the Incas centuries ago. It typically lasts 4 days and covers approximately 42 km (26 miles). It offers spectacular views of the jungle and the Andes, but focuses more on the archaeological ruins along the way.
