SALKANTAY TREK TO MACHU PICCHU 4 DAYS

The Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu 4 days is one of the most famous treks in Cusco - Peru and it is undoubtedly the best alternative route to experience the original Inca trail paths. This trek takes you through many different types of landscapes. You will have the best opportunity to see the typical Andean landscape up to the snowcapped mountains, down to the tropical forests and finally even venture into the dense jungle.

ITINERARY

Day 1: Cusco - Mollepata - Challacancha - Soraypampa

We start the day with picking you up at your hotel or hostel at 05:00 am.

We’ll drive for around 4 hours, crossing Anta, Mollepata and end up at Challancha.

Where you can gear up on last minute supplies or anything you may have forgotten back in town (water, rain poncho, bug spray, etc). Once the horsemen have taken the large packs and all last-minute supplies have been purchased, it’s time to start the Trekking.

The “Trekking” on this first day is for the majority of the time simply walking on the road that runs all the way back to Soraypampa. While the views are stunning and the trekking occasionally takes a steep shortcut through the cow pastures, the scent of eucalyptus invades you as you head up out of Mollepata and out into the wide open valleys that dominate this section of the Andes, and it feels incredible to breathe the thin, mountain air and slowly slip further back into the middle of nowhere.

Eventually the trekking makes it way all the way to the back of the valley, and the outpost tent settlement of Soraypampa comes into view.

Little more than a collection of 4 or 5 ranching families who rent out campsites to passing trekkers, Soraypampa is an utterly surreal location. Nestled at the base of towering 3,600 mts or 8,528 fts.

Andean peaks such as Mt. Salcantay at 6264 mts or 20551.18 fts, Soraypampa is our protector of Apu Salkantay: windswept, barren, freezing, and utterly enchanting.

Most tour companies have covered campsites here to protect campers from the harsh elements, and it’s quite easy to fall asleep after a long day of trekking and the sound of the nearby river lapping you into a slumber.
