The vitality of the Andes mountains is formidable. The Apu (Andean deity) Salkantay, translating to “wild” in Quechua language, offers a truly magnificent hiking experience with awe-inspiring views of Cusco’s second tallest peak. Our itinerary includes camping at the foot of Salkantay, absorbing the aura of the revered guardian, relishing the presence of hummingbirds and butterflies, and navigating through the remote highlands of the jungle. This is an intense journey that aligns you with the natural splendor of the Peruvian mountain range, unveils the enigmas of Inca civilization, and culminates at the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu.
