Explore Peru’s stunning landscapes on the classic 6-day Salkantay & Inca Trail Hike! From Snow Peaks to Tropical Rainforests, let us take you through an unforgettable adventure with all your necessities taken care of.
Salkantay Inca Trail 6 Days, often called the High Inca Trail, follows the same route up to the base of Salkantay before turning east across the Inca Chiriasca Pass at approximately 4900-m. This route then descends via Sisaypampa, where you trek to Pampacahuana and impressive Inca ruins. The remains of an Inca road then go down to the singular Inca ruins of Paucarcancha. Paucarcancha is also a vital camping site on the Ancascocha trek; on the third day, you can join the “classic” Inca Trail at Huayllabamba before continuing to Machu Picchu. Because the route follows the Km 88 trail in its second half, permits are required, and thus booking in advance is highly recommended.
Inca Trail Salkantay Trek – there is also an obligatory change from animals to porters before reaching Huayllabamba. If you don´t want to join the Classic Inca Trail, an alternative is to go to Huayllabamba, then down to Km 88, where you can take the train to Aguas Calientes or back to Cusco. Walking 30 km from Km 88 to Aguas Calientes is also possible, but the authorities are not keen on this, especially from Aguas Calientes to Km 88.

No, there is no age limit, but if you are older, you should have a medical check-up before traveling and try to acclimate at altitude (see altitude sickness). We have had children as young as seven years old and people up to 68 years old many times, don’t worry; we are here to help you do it! When there is a will, if possible. Yes, you can change the departure but not the date of entry to the citadel of Machu Picchu 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. We have an excellent kitchen that offers a fantastic variety of dishes: Breakfast: Varies depending on the difficulty of the journey ahead. Usually, a wide selection of products: oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, bread, and jam. You can have hot chocolate, coffee, English tea, and herbal tea (chamomile, lemongrass, tea, or just traditional Coca). Lunch and dinner: always have a bowl of soup followed by a main course (chicken, meat, fish, etc., with rice or pasta). This is followed by dessert and a herbal drink for good. Refreshments (Happy Hour): After the Hike, every day, there will be hot drinks, popcorn, cookies, bread and jam, chocolate, milo, etc., etc. etc.). Snacks: Before starting the Hike for the day, you will be given – a piece of fruit, a chocolate bar, a packet of cookies, and some candy. Vegetarian/unique diet options are available upon request (see below). Yes, we offer vegetarian food. Please specify your dietary needs when making your reservation. Yes, we provide water previously boiled for at least 5 minutes (water purification tablets are unnecessary). Therefore, you only need a bottle of water for the first part, for lunch, the first day, and then, from there, refill your bottles to Machu Picchu. The tents for all our tours are for four people, but the modern man is very tall, and only two people fit in each tent, which allows more space and comfort. If you are traveling alone, you must share the tent with another person unless you request a private tent (single tent $25). Tipping is a personal decision depending on the job performance of each person accompanying you on this trip. All hostels and hotels in Cusco have a storage room to keep the tourists’ belongings; to make this trip, you must leave it in place. We have a shallow rate of people returning once the trip has started. Our priority is to help you complete the trip; our guides are well-trained and have a first aid kit and emergency oxygen. Please don’t think this (that you are in good hands). In Cusco, we only have two seasons rainy for six months and dry for 06 months; the dry season starts in April and October; the days are usually sunny and warm, but keep in mind that the weather is very variable in the high and mountain towns, from November to March rainy days and many unstable months, where the rains can be heavy. Note: Temperatures are for the Cusco Valley 3400m. And 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. 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. The best season for the Salkantay trek is during the dry season in Cusco, April and October. No, the route is signposted, and the professional team you will travel with will ensure no incidents occur. 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 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 not the case with the Salkantay trek at all. 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. 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 not about 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.
