The Salkantay and Machu Picchu Trek, recently named among the 25 best Treks in the World by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine, is a true Andean odyssey. This trek, through the dramatic Cordillera Vilcabamba with spectacular glacial vistas, offers a wonderful alternative for those who want to take a less-traveled and exceptionally beautiful route to Machu Picchu and those who wish to be in contact with great Andean nature and visit remote villages. Along this ancient and remote footpath, located in the same region as the Inca Trail, visitors will enjoy wonderful landscapes where massive snow peaks collide with tropical rain forests to create a brilliant contrast between lush vegetation and lofty desolation.
