Salkantay Trek is listed as one of the 25 best treks in the world by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine.
The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous treks in Cusco and is undoubtedly the best alternative trek to experience the original Inca Trails. This trek takes you through many different types of landscapes. You will have the best opportunity to see the typical Andean landscape up to the snowy mountains, the tropical forests and, finally, venture into the dense Inca jungle. If you are thinking of taking a trekking trip to Machu Picchu and want to be off the beaten treks, near the Andean communities and appreciate the beautiful and diverse nature of Peru, the Salkantay Trek is highly recommended
