Salkantay Region

by

The Salkantay Region lies towards the west of the city of Cusco at an 80km of distance or three hours driving by car. In this serene region, there are abundant pastures for Llamas and Alpacas to graze during summer and the pristine turquoise lakes are breathtaking. The region of Salkantay can be visited after travelling to up to Soraypampa by car or trekking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu by adding few more days to your itinerary.


If Salkantay trek is the main destination, then the trek goes to Machu Picchu passing one of the most picturesque pass at 4,650masl. From where one can observe the “Vilcabamba” mountain range. From this point, the trail leads down towards the tropical zone before you reach to the lost city of the Incas – Machu Picchu.
The Salkantay region contains several trekking options and for different fitness; here one can choose how many days to trek and how to spend the night: in camping tents or in lodges. The Salkantay is a name of the snow mountain too located in one of the most important nation al park of Peru – Machu Picchu.


The legendary Salkantay region is the most diverse and popular trekking area in Peru. From the 9 or 5 day Salkantay Trek, which stretches into the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu to short three-day treks, there’s a trek suitable for everyone here.


Views of lush, fertile farmland and undisturbed natural forest, snow covered mountains, and encounters with a mixture of many ethnic communities, all add up to a diverse range of experiences that make this area one of the most satisfying trekking destinations in Peru.

Incredible hike. Amazing views. Our guide Henry had tons of knowledge about the history of the Incas which he shared with us during the hike. We started of with a 6 hour hike trought the jungle and mountains, stopped at various Inca locations along the way to learn its history. Had some nice lunch and snack breaks and enjoyed the amazing views from the mountains. Finally we reached Machu Picchu trought the Sun Gate, absolutley unforgettable coming up that mountain top and get to look down on Machu Picchu in the valley below. Day 2 we got to go in to the Inca city for a closer look. Dinners, accomodations and transport was well planned and our tour guide Henry was 10/10. All in all an amazing experience and would definetly do it all over again.

This was totally awesome. We could not have been looked after better. Carlos our guide was fun, loved his job and contagiously shared his passion for the mountains and the Peruvian culture. We learnt so much about the natural environment we were in. The organisation for the trip was amazing. The food cooked by marcos was incredible. It was made so special by not being with cries of people; stopping in local villages to sleep for the night. He even got us up to Machu Picchu for sunrise with virtually no other people there. There are no words to describe the experience. Just an incredible and I would totally recommend it. Thank you.

I just finished the Salkantay Trek with Henry, one of the guides with Sunrise Peru. I have done a little hiking in different parts of the world and guides can make or break a trip and Henry is one who makes it. He is very passionate about the land on which you are walking, the people of this region and their cultural, their history and the evolution of Peru. He is very knowledgeable. He can and will, happily field all manner of questions about both the history of the Quechua people and modern day Peru. A gentlemen looking out for the welfare of his group and taking every step to make your trip more enjoying without being over bearing which it can often be. The experience was enriched by his leadership on the trip. I would suggest you ask for him if you’re in the area. One other tip. Ask Sunrise Peru to start you at the low point not the high point ! So you are walking up hill not down hill the majority of the time. ...

October 2023 was the month when our unforgettable journey to Friends started. The trip itself was undeniably fantastic, but what truly stood out was the exceptional guidance provided by our team. Mauro, our tour guide, was the epitome of fun, patience, and knowledge. He effortlessly entertained us with captivating stories, enlightened us with fascinating facts about Peru's rich history and culture, and thoughtfully accommodated any injuries or illnesses that arose within our group. His infectious enthusiasm constantly lifted our spirits. Special thanks to SUNRISE PERU TREK for making this incredible experience even more remarkable.
