The adventure begins early with a prompt 4:00 AM pickup from your accommodation in Cusco.

Soraypampa → Salkantay Pass → Huayracmachay → CollpapampaDay 02
Today is the most demanding but arguably the most spectacular day, starting before dawn with a steady ascent towards the highest point of the entire route: the majestic Salkantay Pass (4,630 m / 15,200 ft). The climb offers an unparalleled sense of accomplishment and presents truly inimitable, close-up views of the colossal Apu Salkantay Mountain—a sacred deity to the local people.
After capturing the panoramic views from the pass and catching your breath, the trail transitions into a long, dramatic descent. This descent leads you away from the high-altitude, barren plains and into the vibrant cloud forest, a sudden and welcome change in ecosystem. Lunch is served along the trail at Huayracmachay, providing a necessary break as you continue into the warmer and lusher scenery.
The path continues to wind down, revealing the rich biodiversity of the high jungle. Your day concludes at the Collpapampa Mountain Sky View camp, where exclusive, comfortable cabins await. After dinner, the warmer air and the sounds of the jungle replace the high-mountain silence, preparing you for the final push toward the historical wonder.

Collpapampa → La Playa → Hidroeléctrica → Aguas CalientesDay 03
Waking up to a much warmer, tropical climate, you begin the five-hour hike through the fertile Santa Teresa Valley and the upper jungle. This section is a feast for the senses, passing thriving plantations of coffee, exotic bananas, and wild orchids, where your guide will explain the region's rich agricultural tradition.
Lunch is provided at La Playa, including a fascinating and authentic coffee demonstration from local farmers. Following the meal, a private transportation service will take you to Hidroeléctrica. From this point, you will embark on a relatively flat, scenic walk of approximately three hours along the train tracks, surrounded by dense jungle, directly to the bustling town of Aguas Calientes, nestled beneath Machu Picchu.
After checking into your comfortable hotel, the evening is dedicated to relaxation. A celebratory dinner at a local restaurant is included, allowing you to reflect on the challenging trek and prepare your mind for the culmination of the journey: the magnificent Inca citadel tomorrow.

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.
