PRIVATE SALKANTAY TREK 4D / 3N

Following a nutritional breakfast we will begin our trek towards the highest path for today; Salkantay Pass (4600m), which will take approximately 4 hours. This trail is found between the two snow-capped peaks called Salkantay and Humantay. We will have two rest stops, at Salkantaypampa and Suyrocqocha, with the best views of both mountains once we arrive at the pass (chances of snow depends on the weather).

After enjoying this place we will continue on, making our way downhill this time for approximately 2 hours towards Huayracmachay, where we will have lunch. We will then descend through cloudy woodlands until arriving to our second campsite called Chaullay.

After breakfast at 6.30 am, we will begin our hike, viewing a variety of flora and fauna such as orchids and tropical fruits of the region, parakeets, parrots, etc. on this day. We will pass by little streams and waterfalls, trekking for about five hours, until we arrive at our lunch stop; Sahuayaco Beach.

From there we will catch our transport on to the Hydroelectric Plant, from which point we will walk along the train tracks for approximately two and a half hours until we arrive to the town of Aguas Calientes (hostal and dinner included there)

We will wake up very early in the morning around 5:00 am to have breakfast then trek up to Machupichu. It should take us about an hour and a half to get to the entrance gate. (You will have the option to catch the first bus up to MachuPicchu which leaves at 5:30 am and takes approximately 30 minutes.)

We will have a guided visit for about 2 hours, of the most significant areas of the Inca citadel, following which you will have the opportunity to explore on your own, and visit the Sun Gate and Inca Bridge, both of which take about an hour and a half each.

After having enjoyed Machupicchu you can return to the town of Aguas Calientes to catch your return train to Ollantaytambo and from there you will have private transport on to Cusco.
