After exploring Lima with its attractive historical center, experience the grand ness of magical Inca culture in the Sacred Valley. The ancient Inca capital Cuzco is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities in South America. This trip is all about the unparalleled Salkantay trekking.

The mountainous region where the mighty Inca civilization originated is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in Peru. Around the ancient capital Cuzco and in the beautiful Sacred Valley, numerous ancient paths take you past beautifully located Inca sites. Everyone knows the famous Inca Trail, the famous trail that leads to one of the new wonders of the world, Machu Picchu. The Salkantay Trail is an alternative route that runs parallel to the Inca Trail and traverses the less visited valleys of Humantay and Santa Teresa before reaching a recently restored Inca trail at the foot of Machu Picchu. The trail runs along one of the holiest mountains, the Salkantay, which is still revered by locals today, via four beautifully located lodges that offer the comfort of an excellent hotel. So you can fully enjoy this beautiful adventure and still relax in a comfortable environment.
