Enjoy one of the best hikes in the world and the first alternative hike for those who want to explore part of the famous Inca Trail. Salkantay Trek 5-day hike, recommended by the Lonely Planet and National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine due to its exceptional natural and archeological scenic beauty. In Salkantay trek 5-day hike, you will hike between the Andean mountain range by the original Inca trail until you reach the Inca city of Machu Picchu.

After breakfast, we will continue for about 15 minutes by car to Challakancha where the mules and muleteers will be waiting for us to take our camping equipment during the trek and it is also the place where we will start the gentle hike for 2 and a half hours to the Humantay pampa community.
Humantay pampa is our lunch and dinner place and also where we will spend the first camping night.
