Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How much money in local currency should I bring?
We recommend bringing between S/300 - S/500 Soles per person for the trek. This covers bus tickets in Aguas Calientes (if not included), tips, snacks, souvenirs, and optional entry to the Cocalmayo hot springs.
Is a sleeping bag really necessary, and can I rent one?
Yes, a quality sleeping bag rated for -10°C (14°F) is essential, especially for the first two cold nights at high altitude camps. We offer high-quality rental bags for $20 for the duration of the trek.
What is the accommodation like at the specialized camps?
Our exclusive camps (Sky Camp and Jungle Domes) offer a significant upgrade from standard tents. You will sleep in weather-proof, comfortable domes or sky huts with proper mattresses, providing excellent shelter and unique, panoramic views.
How difficult is the Salkantay Pass on Day 2?
Day 2 is classified as Challenging. The ascent to Salkantay Pass (4,630m) is steep and requires good physical condition and proper acclimatization. However, the mules carry the main gear, allowing you to focus on your daypack and the hike itself.
What is the policy regarding my personal baggage?
The mules will carry your main gear, limited to a maximum of 5 kg (11 lbs) per person. You will need a separate daypack for water, camera, rain gear, and snacks that you will carry yourself throughout the day.
Can I hike Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain?
Yes, you can add an entrance to Huayna Picchu or Machu Picchu Mountain for an extra $60. However, tickets are extremely limited and must be reserved 2–3 months in advance along with your main tour booking.
