Luxury Trek Style
The Salkantay Luxury Glamping Trek 5 Days is a remarkable journey through some of Peru’s most dramatic and diverse landscapes, combining high-Andean scenery, rich cultural encounters, and refined comfort on the way to Machu Picchu.
The trek begins high in the Andes, where travelers visit the stunning Humantay Lake, a vibrant turquoise lagoon surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The route continues toward the legendary Salkantay Pass, passing beneath the imposing presence of Salkantay Mountain, one of the most sacred Apus in Andean cosmology. These early days offer powerful mountain landscapes, quiet valleys, and a deep connection with nature.
As the trail descends, the environment gradually transforms into the lush cloud forest. Along the way, hikers explore fertile valleys, encounter traditional villages, and visit a local coffee farm to learn about Andean coffee cultivation and enjoy freshly brewed tastings. The journey follows ancient pathways and passes archaeological remains before reaching Aguas Calientes by scenic train.
Throughout the trek, guests stay in luxury glamping camps designed for comfort at high altitude, featuring comfortable beds, warm duvets, private bathrooms, hot showers, and relaxing massage services. Gourmet meals prepared with fresh, local ingredients are served daily, offering a refined dining experience in remote natural settings.
The adventure concludes with a private guided exploration of Machu Picchu, allowing time to fully appreciate the history, architecture, and spiritual significance of this iconic Inca citadel before returning to Cusco.
