Trek the longer, more spectacular approach to Peru’s Machu Picchu on the Salcantay route. The trip will start in Lima with a city tour. Then we will fly to Cuzco, sacred city of the Incas, where we will visit the Sacred Valley towns and attend the Inti Raymi Solstice festival on June 24 at the huge fortress of Saqsaywaman.
Then we will do a five day supported trek that will take you through rainforest areas up to the Salcantay Umantay Pass at 14,763 feet. You will see glaciers and high peaks before arriving at Aguas Calientes and take the bus up to Machu Picchu. The second day in Machu Picchu, we will climb the peak behind it, Huayna Picchu, for a bird’s eye view of the famous Inca site.
The trip is rated for C-level hiking, high altitudes and rugged trails. Not included in the trip cost is airfare to Lima, travel insurance, several meals, guide tips and personal spending money.
