2 DAYS SALKANTAY HIKE SUMMARY
from:
Salkantay Trek 3 days is an exciting and less-traveled option for adventurers seeking a shorter route to Machu Picchu. With daily departures offered by SALKANTAY TREKKERS PERU, this trek is accessible and affordable for those with limited time or budget constraints.
Despite its shorter duration, the 3-Day Salkantay Trek offers a stunning journey through diverse landscapes, including glaciers, rivers, lagoons, and jungle valleys. You’ll reach the trek’s highest point, Abra Salkantay, at an elevation of 4,630 meters (15,226 feet), and witness the breathtaking beauty of the Peruvian Andes.
To make the trek more feasible within three days, SALKANTAY TREKKERS PERU ensures that you will join a group at the first camp, complete with experienced guides, cooks, and support staff. This arrangement allows you to enjoy the trek with a reasonable price and the support necessary for a successful journey.
The 3-Day Salkantay Trek begins and ends in Cusco, with some distances shortened by car to accommodate the tighter schedule. While the walking distance may be slightly longer than other Salkantay trek options, it remains manageable for well-prepared and adventurous trekkers.
Embarking on the 3-Day Salkantay Trek offers the opportunity to experience the best of the Salkantay trail while visiting the iconic Machu Picchu on the final day before returning to Cusco in the afternoon. This condensed itinerary makes it an excellent choice for travelers eager to explore the Andes’ stunning landscapes without committing to a longer trek.
The ticket to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is included in the package price, which we purchase in your name. Typically, we include circuits 1, 2, or 3 for the guided tour at Machu Picchu. To secure a spot on these popular circuits, it is essential to book your tour at least three months in advance. If these circuits are unavailable, the alternatives would be circuits 4 or 5.
The main difference between the circuits is their access points to Machu Picchu. Circuits 1, 2, and 3 provide access from the upper part of the site, offering panoramic views and opportunities for classic photos of Machu Picchu. In contrast, circuits 4 and 5 grant access from the lower part, which does not offer the classic view of Machu Picchu.
It is important to note that no circuit covers the entire Inca citadel. However, all circuits include a guided tour lasting between 2 to 2.5 hours with an expert guide, ensuring a comprehensive and educational experience at Machu Picchu.

Embark on a breathtaking journey with our Salkantay Trek 4 days to Machu Picchu, the perfect adventure for those seeking the essence of the Salkantay experience in a shorter timeframe. This trek is expertly designed to offer an immersive experience in the stunning landscapes of the Salkantay mountains and glaciers, condensed into four action-packed days.
Your adventure begins with the awe-inspiring Humantay Lagoon on day one, followed by a restful night at the serene Quiswarniyoc private camp. The next day challenges you to reach the zenith of the trek, the majestic Salkantay Pass at 4,700 meters, a moment that marks the start of your descent to the welcoming Chawllay campsite. The third day is a journey of discovery through the captivating Santa Teresa Valley, rich with local agriculture, leading up to your arrival in Aguas Calientes by evening.

The Salkantay Trek 4 days is tailored for efficiency, differing from the 5-day version in its pace and focus.

Cusco city tour is perfect for those who have recently arrived in Cusco or wish to explore the Inca city more intimately. Our tour begins at our main office in Cusco at 1:00 pm, where we will embark on a 10-minute walk to the fascinating Koricancha. Here, our expert guide will explain the significance of this attraction, highlighting the blend of colonial and Inca art within the temple.
Next, we’ll board our comfortable bus to visit the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman, a site showcasing remarkable Inca stonework that is arguably even more impressive than Machu Picchu. You’ll be left wondering how such intricate stone architecture could have been created by human hands.
Our journey continues to the mysterious caves of Qenqo, where the Incas performed sacrifices and rituals to their gods. Some believe these chambers were also used for human sacrifices. From Qenqo, we’ll move on to Pucapucara, a red-colored Inca construction that served as a strategic control point.
Our final stop is the serene Tambomachay, a site featuring beautiful water sources where the Inca king once spent his days relaxing and meditating. After exploring Tambomachay, we’ll return to Cusco around 6:00 pm.
This captivating city tour offers a comprehensive understanding of the Inca capital and its surrounding areas, serving as an ideal introduction to Cusco’s rich history.

Here, our expert guide will explain the significance of this attraction, highlighting the blend of colonial and Inca art within the temple.
Next, we’ll board our comfortable bus to visit the awe-inspiring Sacsayhuaman, a site showcasing remarkable Inca stonework that is arguably even more impressive than Machu Picchu. You’ll be left wondering how such intricate stone architecture could have been created by human hands.
Our journey continues to the mysterious caves of Qenqo, where the Incas performed sacrifices and rituals to their gods. Some believe these chambers were also used for human sacrifices. From Qenqo, we’ll move on to Pucapucara, a red-colored Inca construction that served as a strategic control point.
Our final stop is the serene Tambomachay, a site featuring beautiful water sources where the Inca king once spent his days relaxing and meditating. After exploring Tambomachay, we’ll return to Cusco around 6:00 pm.
This captivating city tour offers a comprehensive understanding of the Inca capital and its surrounding areas, serving as an ideal introduction to Cusco’s rich history. As a leisurely excursion, this tour is well-suited for those with a free day or looking to acclimate to the altitude, with our vehicles providing easy transportation between each site.

Salkantay Trek 4 Days to Machu Picchu: An Efficient and Memorable Adventure
Embark on a breathtaking journey with our Salkantay Trek 4 days to Machu Picchu, the perfect adventure for those seeking the essence of the Salkantay experience in a shorter timeframe. This trek is expertly designed to offer an immersive experience in the stunning landscapes of the Salkantay mountains and glaciers, condensed into four action-packed days.
Your adventure begins with the awe-inspiring Humantay Lagoon on day one, followed by a restful night at the serene Quiswarniyoc private camp. The next day challenges you to reach the zenith of the trek, the majestic Salkantay Pass at 4,700 meters, a moment that marks the start of your descent to the welcoming Chawllay campsite. The third day is a journey of discovery through the captivating Santa Teresa Valley, rich with local agriculture, leading up to your arrival in Aguas Calientes by evening. This prepares you for the grand finale of your trek: the exploration of the iconic Machu Picchu on day four.
The Salkantay Trek 5 days is tailored for efficiency, differing from the 5-day version in its pace and focus. While the 5-day trek allows for leisurely pursuits like soaking in the hot springs and trekking to the Llactapata viewpoint of Machu Picchu, the 4-day variant optimizes your time. This approach omits certain activities to ensure a timely arrival at Machu Picchu, making it the ideal option for those with limited time who are eager to experience the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Salkantay trail and the majestic Machu Picchu.
The ticket to the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu is included in the package price, which we purchase in your name. Typically, we include circuits 1, 2, or 3 for the guided tour at Machu Picchu. To secure a spot on these popular circuits, it is essential to book your tour at least three months in advance. If these circuits are unavailable, the alternatives would be circuits 4 or 5.
The main difference between the circuits is their access points to Machu Picchu. Circuits 1, 2, and 3 provide access from the upper part of the site, offering panoramic views and opportunities for classic photos of Machu Picchu. In contrast, circuits 4 and 5 grant access from the lower part, which does not offer the classic view of Machu Picchu.
It is important to note that no circuit covers the entire Inca citadel. However, all circuits include a guided tour lasting between 2 to 2.5 hours with an expert guide, ensuring a comprehensive and educational experience at Machu Picchu.
If you are booking at the last minute and the circuits to visit Machu Picchu are unavailable, your final option is to purchase tickets to reach the town of Aguas Calientes. For more details, please see the information provided in the link.
