Summary

We will hike the popular 5 day Salkantay trek that leads to Machu Picchu. This is a very scenic route as you will see the range of beautiful scenery. It is much better than the ordinary Inca trial; with better scenery, higher altitude and sleeping in pods and huts - NOT tents!

Itinerary

• Day 1: Flight from London Heathrow. The group will assemble at the airport flight gate and stay together till they arrive. Feel free to do your own think at the airport and transit BUT be disciplined with the flight times.

• Day 2 & 3: After a journey of approximately 18 hours, the group will land in Cuzco airport where we will be transported to our hotel in the city centre where we will stay. This night you have to catch up fully on sleep and adjust to the high altitude. Then you will have a free day the day after.

• Day 4 - Cusco Soraypampa to Soyroccocha (sleeping in pod)

• Day 5 – Soyroccocha to Collpapampa (sleeping in hut)

• Day 6 – Collpapampa to Lucmabamba (sleeping in hut)
