Question 1

Como posso obter o desconto para estudantes na entrada de Machu Picchu?

Accepted Answer

If you are a student, you may be eligible for a $20 USD discount. However, you must meet the Peruvian government requirements, as the discount is applied to the cost of your Machu Picchu ticket and is not something that we are able to negotiate.
To be able to receive the discount, please send us a photo of both sides of your student card, and another photo of your passport after your booking. We can help you check if all the requirements are fulfilled. The student ID must be an original ID, given from the university in PVC material and include:

University information
Personal student information
Student picture
Expiration date valid only for one year
Must coincide with the year that student visits Machu Picchu

You also need to bring your original student card with you the day you visit Machu Picchu. You will need to bring the card with you and verify it at the Machu Picchu checkpoint.
Please check if your student card includes the following requirements:

Question 2

Qual é a diferença entre o Trekking Salkantay de 5 dias e o de 4 dias?

Accepted Answer

On the 4-Day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, you'll experience many of the same breathtaking landscapes as the 5-Day Trek. The key difference is that on Day 3, instead of staying at the Cocalmayo campsite, we go directly to Hidroeléctrica and Aguas Calientes. This makes Day 3 more challenging, as it includes a 3-hour hike from Hidroeléctrica to Aguas Calientes. On Day 4, you'll visit the Machu Picchu site.
In contrast, the 5-Day Salkantay Trek offers a more relaxed pace. On Day 3, we stay at the Lucmabamba campsite, allowing time to unwind and even visit the Cocalmayo hot springs (this activity is not included). On Day 4, we explore the remarkable archaeological site of Llactapata, walking part of the original Inca Trail, which is not covered in the 4-Day trek. We then continue to Hidroeléctrica and Aguas Calientes, with the visit to Machu Picchu scheduled for Day 5.

Question 3

What should I pack for the Salkantay Trek with Luxury Sky Domes?

Accepted Answer

One personal daypack (a 30 to 50 L backpack is sufficient). Before your trek, we will provide you with an extra duffle bag from our office to carry your extra clothes and personal items (max. 5kg).
Reusable water bottle
Small coins in Peruvian Soles (Bathrooms are free at the campsites but cost 1 Sol along the route. Keep small change on hand for water bottles, snacks, and toilet paper.)
Rain jacket or rain poncho
Strong footwear (Waterproof trekking boots recommended.)
Sleeping bag (also available for rent)
Flashlight/headlamp and batteries
Clothes for the entire trek:

Two long-sleeve trekking shirts
Two short-sleeve shirts
Leggings or trekking pants
Shorts
Four pairs of underwear
Sweatpants for the night
Three pairs of hiking socks
A rain poncho
An insulated jacket
Gloves
Beanie
A hat with a brim
Hiking boots
Bathing suit and small towel (if you plan to visit the hot springs)
Sandals to rest your feet at the campsites
Sunscreen
Insect repellent
Additional snacks (we supply you with plenty of food already)
Original passport (mandatory for entrance to Machu Picchu)

Question 4

Como posso me preparar para a caminhada e prevenir o mal de altitude?

Accepted Answer

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experience is easy: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco, so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high altitude destination before arriving in Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek.
Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend you eat healthy food, drink lots of water, and stay away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves and drinking coca tea help to alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.

Question 5

Mais detalhes sobre a Montanha Huayna Picchu ou Montanha Machu Picchu como complemento

Accepted Answer

The entrance ticket to Huayna Picchu Mountain or Machu Picchu Mountain are additional add-ons that you can choose to purchase besides the Machu Picchu visit that is already included in this trek. You can visit one of these mountains after your Machu Picchu visit to see the Inca Citadel from the top.
Please send us an email asking about availability. Then, if available, you can select which mountain you would like to climb when you make your reservation online. Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain are an additional 65 USD.
❓ What is Huayna Picchu Mountain?
Huayna Picchu Mountain is home to the Temple of the Moon and is the famous mountain peak seen behind the ruins in all the classic photos of Machu Picchu. Huayna Picchu is an approximately 45-minute climb with more ruins at the top and offers an incredible view of the Machu Picchu ruins. The visit to Huayna Picchu takes approximately 2 hours. Huayna Picchu Mountain is an additional 65 USD.
❓ What is Machu Picchu Mountain?
Machu Picchu Mountain is an additional hike within Machu Picchu that offers a much higher view of the ruins and overlooks the entire valley. Machu Picchu Mountain is an additional 65 USD.

Question 6

Quais são as diferenças entre a Trilha Salkantay e a Trilha Inca?

Accepted Answer

The Inca Trail is more crowded than the Salkantay Trek because it is an original trail of the Incas and one of the most famous hikes in the world, attracting thousands of trekkers every year. It is the only trek that leads directly to Machu Picchu, but is therefore a lot more expensive than the Salkantay Trek.
On the Salkantay Trek you will spend the last night in a hotel in Aguas Calientes before visiting Machu Picchu the next day. During the Inca Trail you will discover ancient Inca ruins, whereas the Salkantay offers more wildlife and high mountain sceneries. Many trekkers consider the Salkantay Trek to be a bit more strenuous than the Inca Trail because the general altitude is higher.
The Salkantay Trek offers the best alternative to the Inca Trail for everybody who doesn’t like crowded paths and enjoys different landscapes during the trek.

Question 7

Question 8

Como é o clima durante a trilha Salkantay?

Accepted Answer

In general, Salkantay is known for its unpredictable weather, so please come prepared for both warm and cold temperatures, as well as rainy and dry conditions. We have two main seasons in the Andes Mountains, the rainy season (November-March) and the dry season (April-October).
During the rainy, warmer season, temperatures average around 15°C / 60°F during the day and 5°C / 40°F at night. However, with a high chance of rain and wind at the Salkantay Pass, these temperatures may feel a lot colder to you.
During the dry season, the weather is sunny and clear, with an average of 20°C / 70°F during the day but much colder at night, around -3°C / 26°F.
Also, after the second day, as we descend into the Peruvian Amazon basin, the weather changes to a more humid and warmer climate – these humid temperatures are consistent throughout the year.
