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.

Our awards and recognitions
At KB Adventures, we are proud of the recognition our work has received over the years. These achievements reflect our dedication to creating memorable travel experiences and sharing the beauty of Peru with travelers from around the world.
Every journey is different. Here’s what our travelers have shared about their experience with KB Adventures.
“I did the 5 days Salkantay trek with my spouse. I learned so much about Peru, thanks to our wonderful guide, Ronald. Although the hike was intense, Ronald was patient with the group and helpful every step of the way. We finished the trek feeling exhausted but also proud and safe. The mountain scenery was beautiful and we learned about the indigenous cultures. The food, transportation and accommodation were good for the price we paid. Prepare for altitude sickness and be fit enough for this intense hike. I would definitely recommend Ronald as a guide. KB Adventures did a great job organising this trek.”
“We did the 4 day Salkantay trek and it was perfect. The walking was tough at times but our guide Vidal was super supportive! We had never done a hiking trip like this before Vidal helped us feel comfortable and prepared for every day. Would definitely recommend this tour to both beginners (like us!) and experienced hikers. The trek itself was just as good if not better than Machu Picchu!”
“I would highly recommend. I did the 4 days trek with my wonderful girlfriend Alitza and although challenging definitely rewarding. Alfredo was a great host and guide, very knowledgeable, caring, and experienced. I have never trekked through the mountains and a piece of the Amazon rain forest all in a matter of days. You can really connect with nature and the people on the trek. If you’re considering, do it.”
“Well what can I say!! What a beautiful trek- had the most wonderful time meeting up with the most fantastic people. The trek was a challenge but the views were worth it and KB were great with being present and supportive in making sure we had a great experience. Special shout out to JP, our tour leader- he was brilliant throughout. So informative and make the trip truly fun, enjoyable and memorable as well as going above and beyond to keep things organised. Feeling grateful and would recommend KB!”
