Travel Facts about Salkantay 4 Day Trek
Are you looking for a way to get the breathtaking adventure of the Andes? Try the Salkantay 4-day trek and explore magnificent snow-capped mountains, lush jungles, and ancient ruins!
There isn’t an age restriction, but if you’re older, you should get a medical checkup before traveling and try to acclimate to the altitude (see altitude sickness). We’ve frequently had people as young as seven and as old as 68.
The entry date to the Machu Picchu Citadel cannot be changed, but the departure date can. Tickets are purchased well in advance; if you change the hiking departure, your tour could become one of four or three days, depending on the program book. Remember to schedule your trip to Peru in advance to avoid problems and stay in Cusco 3 or 4 days before the trip). Please note that on this trip, you will meet people of different gender and nationality than yours; we are an agency that cannot guarantee the gender and ethnicity of our tourists.
Our fantastic kitchen offers a wide selection of dishes in various flavors.
Breakfast: This varies based on how complex the journey is. Oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, bread, and jam are typically among the many products available. Hot beverages include hot chocolate, coffee, English tea, and herbal teas (such as chamomile, lemongrass, tea, or traditional coca).
At lunch and dinner, always start with a bowl of soup before moving on to the main dish (chicken, meat, fish, etc.). Either with rice or pasta). Dessert and a final herbal beverage come next.
After the hike, refreshments (happy hour) will always be available, including hot beverages, popcorn, cookies, bread with jam, chocolate, milo, and more).
Snacks: Before beginning the day’s hike, you will receive a piece of fruit, a chocolate bar, a packet of cookies, and some candy.
Options for vegetarian or unusual diets are available upon request.
Yes, we do serve vegetarian options. When making a reservation, kindly mention any dietary restrictions.
We offer water that has been boiled for at least five minutes; water purification tablets are not required. As a result, on the first day, you only need one bottle of water for lunch. From there, you can refill your bottles before heading to Machu Picchu.
Since the average man today is exceptionally tall, only two people can fit in each of the four-person tents we use for our tours, giving them more room and comfort. Unless you specifically request a private tent (single tent $25).
It’s up to you to decide how much to tip each travel companion based on how well they did their jobs.
To complete this journey, you must leave your belongings in the storage room in every hostel and hotel in Cusco, which stores travelers’ items.
Once the trip has begun, we have a low rate of return travelers. Our guides are well-trained, equipped with a first aid kit, and can use emergency oxygen.
Only two seasons are experienced in Cusco: a six-month rainy period and a six-month dry period. The dry season begins in April and ends in October. Days are typically sunny and warm during this time. However, the weather can change rapidly in high-altitude towns, with rainy days and many unstable months from November to March, when heavy downpours are possible.
Note: The Cusco Valley is at 3400 meters. Temperatures change depending on altitude (higher altitude = cold or vice versa).
The train included in all tours is the (Expedition Service); the schedules are the available spaces in the wagons once the agencies make the full payment. The first train can be taken at 18:20 hours and the last at 22:50 hours: Salkantay Expeditions. Arrange transportation back to Cusco (by cab or bus).
Note: Trains are sometimes subject to change depending on Peru Rail train operators. If desired, the train can be modified for a better service with a corresponding price increase.
You must arrive before the city of Cusco, where it will be necessary to go with a guide to direct the way to make your adventure tours of Salkantay treks.
The Salkantay trek is located in Cusco, about 60 km northwest of Cusco. The proximity of Salkantay to Machu Picchu makes trekking around it an alternative to the Inca Trail.
You should bring a series of accessories for the trail. As a backpack that will be your companion during the five days of the tour, carry the following.
- Light and warm clothes
- Hiking shoes.
- Hat
- Plastic poncho.
- Bathing suit for the hot springs
- Towel.
- Water bottle.
- Gloves for the cold.
- Walking sticks
- Flashlight.
- Binoculars.
- Personal toiletries
- Camera.
- Personal documents
- Insect repellent and sunblock
- Hand sanitizer.
- Toilet paper.
- Disposable tissues.
- Cash.
- Personal medications.
- Snacks.
- How many kilometers must you travel on tour to reach Machu Picchu?
The Salkantay trek is approximately 72 kilometers distributed over five days and four nights through beautiful Cusco to reach Machu Picchu.
The five-day Salkantay trek is available for all adventurers traveling to Cusco in 2023.
This is a five-day trek, where we will be going up and down trails for more than 70 kilometers in the known altitude of Cusco; for this reason, it is advisable to be prepared for the trek.
Training hard will not be necessary, but it does help to do cardiovascular exercises, such as walking three times a week for at least three months before the tour.
Also, spending a couple of days acclimatizing to the altitude of Cusco before the tour will help us a lot.
To do the Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu, you should know that the level of trekking varies from moderate to complex. Therefore, it is recommended to be in good physical condition. In addition, it is recommended to use good trekking shoes, preferably that they are already molded to your feet; this will facilitate the walk and will not have any problems.
The best time to do the Salkantay Trek to Machupicchu with good weather is between April – October, as we have the presence of clear skies and smaller-scale rainfall. Mainly the driest months are between June – August, which is winter in the Andes. However, it is suggested to foresee the type of clothing to use during these months, because during the day you can enjoy the sun, while at night you can feel intense cold.
The best season for the Salkantay trek is during the dry season in Cusco, April and October.
The number 1 reason we did the Salkantay trek was the environment you are in. You hike for five days in very different backgrounds. On other trekking tours, the walk to Machu Picchu, the environment often remains the same, becoming monotonous. This is different from the Salkantay trek.
With each step, the landscape changes, and the mountains reveal something new: the rolling clouds, the breathtaking terrain, the towering mountains, and the smiling locals.
There is something magical about walking in the area on the Salkantay trail. All you have to do is walk and enjoy. You have no stress, and there are not many things you must think about during your hike. Just enjoy the walk. Great.
You can book the Inca Trail by contacting us through the website or the following email: info@kondorpathtours.com. You only need to fill out the reservation form and provide us with your personal information, such as full name, date of birth, Passport or Identity Card number precisely as indicated in your document, and the exact date of the excursion. Otherwise, please send your inquiry to our email info@kondorpathtours.com.
Salkantay trek It is not recommended because the conditions are not the best. The Salkantay Majestic hike is accessible to all hikers, but it is recommended to be accompanied by certified expert guides who know the trail well.
No, We refer to security in terms of being robbed, assaulted, or similar during the route. We heard before doing this route that it could be, but it is false. The most significant danger you face is the altitude, so I recommend you look at this altitude sickness guide.
No, the route is signposted, and the professional team you will travel with will ensure no incidents occur.
Yes and no. Acclimatized and in relatively good shape, I can do the Salkantay trek. It is a route that many people take, which can give you a clue that it is about something other than climbing the Himalayas. Still, it would be best to be realistic with your physical condition and, above all, with your acclimatization level.
Yes, absolutely, yes. We recommend that you spend at least two or three days in Cusco. Drink plenty of water (as much as it bothers us all; beer is not water), get plenty of rest, and take some walks to measure yourself. If you feel that your body reacts in a more or less usual way (considering that you are at more than 3500 meters above sea level), you are ready for the adventure.
