Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Most people come to Peru for Machu Picchu<\/strong>. But the ones who take the Salkantay route<\/strong> \u2014 the ones who wake up at 4am to cross a 4,630-meter pass in the dark, who walk through cloud forest and feel the temperature shift around them \u2014 those are the ones who can’t stop talking about it.<\/p>

Salkantay Horizons was built for those people.<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>

We’re a small team of local guides based in Cusco. We know this mountain the way you know your own neighborhood \u2014 every shortcut, every weather pattern, every spot worth stopping for. We’ve been running treks on this route for years, and we still get excited every single time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To guarantee your preferred departure date, especially for travel during the peak trekking season between May and August<\/b>, we strongly recommend securing your booking at least four to five months in advance<\/b>. The primary logistical constraint is the daily limit on Machu Picchu entrance tickets<\/b> and train return seats from Aguas Calientes to Cusco. These official government permits are non-transferable and often sell out months ahead. If you plan to hike during the “shoulder season” (April, September, and October), three months is usually safe. For the wet season (November to March), six to eight weeks of lead time is generally sufficient. Remember, the earlier you book, the better we can coordinate your high-standard logistics, such as premium tent placements and optimal train schedules.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Absolutely.<\/b> The Salkantay Trek is a world-class route that is perfectly achievable for determined first-time trekkers. Our Classic (5-day) and Express (4-day)<\/b> itineraries are designed with a gradual pace to help your body adapt to the elevation. While the trail involves steep sections and rocky terrain\u2014particularly when crossing the Salkantay Pass at 4,630 meters (15,190 ft)<\/b>\u2014it does not require any technical mountaineering skills or previous camping experience. What we emphasize is a solid baseline of cardiovascular fitness<\/b> and a positive mindset. To support you, we provide a detailed 8-Week Training Guide<\/b> upon booking, covering everything from hill walking to breathing techniques. Additionally, our professional guides carry oxygen tanks and first aid kits at all times, ensuring that your first multi-day expedition is as safe as it is breathtaking.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yes, it is one of the best experiences for independent travelers.<\/b> When you join one of our scheduled group departures, you are immediately part of a team. Solo travelers pay the standard per-person rate and are matched with a same-gender trekking partner for tent sharing (unless you opt for a private tent upgrade). Our groups are intentionally kept small (maximum 12 hikers)<\/b> to ensure a personalized experience and to allow our guides to focus on everyone\u2019s well-being. Most solo travelers tell us that the community aspect\u2014sharing meals in our dining tents and conquering the pass together\u2014becomes the highlight of their trip. For those seeking total privacy, we also offer the Private Salkantay Trek<\/b>, which can be customized for individuals who prefer a solo journey with their own dedicated guide and support staff.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

For most travelers from Western nations<\/b>, including the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand<\/b>, entering Peru as a tourist is very straightforward. You do not need to apply for a visa in advance; instead, you will receive a Tourist Visa (TAM – Tarjeta Andina de Migraci\u00f3n)<\/b> upon arrival at the airport in Lima or at any official border crossing. This entry permit is typically valid for up to 90 or 183 days<\/b>. Please ensure your passport is in good condition and has a minimum validity of six months<\/b> from your date of arrival in Peru. Immigration officers may occasionally ask to see a return flight ticket or proof of onward travel. We always recommend checking with your local Peruvian consulate 30 days before your trip, as international travel regulations can be updated without prior notice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

We take the safety and comfort of younger trekkers very seriously. For our Classic and Express camping routes<\/b>, the minimum age is 10 years old<\/b>, provided the child has previous hiking experience and a high level of energy. For the Luxury Lodge route<\/b>, the minimum age is 12 years<\/b>, reflecting the slightly different logistics involved. The combined Salkantay + Choquequirao expedition<\/b> is our most physically demanding route, requiring a minimum age of 14 years<\/b> due to the intense elevation changes and long daily distances. We offer a 15% discount for children under 12<\/b> on our camping routes. If you are traveling with children, please let us know in advance so we can assign a guide who specializes in family groups and ensure we have age-appropriate equipment and meals ready.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Experience often beats youth on the trail.<\/b> We have successfully guided many trekkers in their 60s and 70s<\/b> who have found the Salkantay route to be a deeply rewarding challenge. The key factors for success at any age are consistent physical activity<\/b> prior to the trip and a patient approach to altitude acclimatization<\/b>. If you enjoy regular hiking, walking, or swimming and are in good general health, you are a great candidate for this trek. We recommend arriving in Cusco at least 3 days before your trek<\/b> to let your body adjust to the 3,400m altitude. During the trek, our chefs prepare high-energy, nutrient-dense meals specifically designed for high-altitude digestion. We also advise consulting with your doctor before booking and sharing any medical history with us so our guides can provide personalized care, including monitoring your heart rate and oxygen saturation if necessary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

With a private departure, you get a 100% dedicated team<\/b>, including a professional lead guide, a private chef to cater to your specific dietary preferences, and a logistical crew to handle the campsite. This option allows for a flexible itinerary<\/b>; for example, if you want to spend an extra hour meditating at Humantay Lake or start your days earlier to avoid other groups on the trail, the choice is yours. Contact our Cusco-based office for a personalized quote and to check permit availability for your desired dates.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Securing your spot on a Salkantay adventure is a simple and secure process. First, fill out the Booking Request Form<\/b> on our website with your chosen trek, preferred start date, and the full names and passport details of all participants. It is crucial that the passport info is 100% accurate, as this is used to purchase your Machu Picchu circuit tickets<\/b>, which are non-transferable and non-refundable. Once we verify that the permits are available for your dates (which we do within 24 hours), we will send you a confirmation email with a link to our WeTravel payment portal<\/b>. To finalize your reservation, a 30% non-refundable deposit<\/b> is required. This deposit allows us to immediately secure your entrance permits, specialized trekking staff, and train tickets for the return journey. The remaining 70% balance is typically due 30 days before your trek starts, giving you peace of mind that every detail is organized.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

To maintain a stable and clear pricing structure for our global guests, all our rates are listed in United States Dollars (USD)<\/b>. When you pay through the WeTravel portal, the system will show you the exact amount in USD. If your bank account is in another currency (such as Euros, Canadian Dollars, or British Pounds), your bank or credit card provider will handle the conversion to your local currency based on that day\u2019s international exchange rate<\/b>. We recommend using a card that offers “No Foreign Transaction Fees” to save on bank charges. Once you are in Peru, while most major hotels and restaurants in Cusco accept USD, we recommend carrying some Peruvian Soles (PEN)<\/b> for small trail snacks, tips, or souvenirs in the local markets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t
