The Salcantay Trail to Machu Picchu is an expedition… one that takes guests on an ancient trail called the “Salcantay Route”, going from lodge to lodge along four mountain lodges in the Cordillera Vilcabamba, a spectacular Andean mountain range which cradles the famed Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.
Within the lodge system, the crown jewel is the Salcantay Lodge & Adventure Resort, located in the high Andean valley of Soraypampa at 3,850m/12,705ft above sea level. In addition to high-quality “Andean Energetic Cuisine”, the Lodge offers an outdoor hot tub, cozy reading rooms, a bar/lounge (with Pisco Sour classes and all!) and 12 well-appointed private double rooms with private bathrooms and hot showers.
The enchanting valley of Soraypampa is also the starting point of the “other” four-day trek to Machu Picchu – one that is much less traveled but, by many accounts, more scenic and exclusive than the famous “Inca Trail to Machu Picchu”. In this Lodge-to-Lodge experience, trekkers spend one night each at three Lodges located at strategic points along the route: Huayraccmachay, Collpapampa and Lucmabamba. Although these lodges are smaller in size (only 6 guest rooms per lodge), each one of them offers the same amenities as the base lodge.
This proposal goes far beyond comfortable lodges and great treks … it is a unique opportunity to experience ancient history in the Land of the Incas, contemporary manifestations of deep-founded culture, the most interesting and exotic variety of flora and fauna, culinary surprises, the determination of local people to progress, new friends and like-minded souls.
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate to Challenging. We strongly recommend acclimatizing to the altitude by staying for at least two - three days in Cusco Peru prior to the trek.
