The Salkantay Trek was my favorite hike in Peru and one of my favorites across the world thus far. Spanning five days across a variety of terrains, you’ll see snowy mountain peaks, lush jungles, and all sorts of flora and fauna as you make through Peru’s beautiful landscape. 

Ending with a sunrise visit to Machu Picchu, it is truly one of the most magical experiences in South America! To go on this trek, you must go with a guide as these lands are considered sacred to the native peoples. I recommend booking a trek with Salkantay Trekking who can coordinate your whole adventure from beginning to end.
