Cusco
This list compares Salkantay treks, the route I point people to when Inca Trail permits are gone. No permit is needed, but you will cross a pass at 4,630 meters, so give yourself two days in Cusco first. Most itineraries take four or five days and finish at Machu Picchu.
Embark on the Salkantay Classic Trek, a 5-day adventure from Cusco. Explore breathtaking landscapes, ancient ruins, and experience the beauty of the Andes on this unforgettable journey.
