Salkantay Lodge & Adventure Resort

Have you always dreamed of hiking an Inca trail to Machu Picchu …but don’t want to sacrifice on the quality of your lodging? The good news is that this possibility exists, and the accommodations are truly first class! The Salkantay Lodge & Adventure Resort — along with its three other affiliated Mountain Lodges of Peru — offers a number of itineraries that allow adventurers the enriching experience of traveling an ancestral route, in addition to spending each night in one of these lodges’ comfortable beds after delighting in a hot bath and a delicious meal.

These Inca Trail Mountain Lodges invite you to go on any of several multi-day excursions along Inca trails (The Salkantay Trek, the Inca Llactapata Trail and others), which allow travelers to experience at least 15 different ecosystems, as well as have up-close encounters with the exotic wildlife and fauna, and cross mountain passages at an altitude of up to three miles high. These tours are led by Salkantay guides, whose competence and personable characters have earned them recognition as being among the best in Peru. They are guides who know the routes and the local culture in depth, as well as being multilingual and proficient in managing groups. These guides will lead you — on foot or on horseback — to Peru’s most iconic destination: Machu Picchu – the best reward for your effort.

While these tours are physical journeys involving nature activities such as trekking, mountain biking, horseback riding and climbing, at the same time these are spiritual and intellectual experiences, as you will visit timeless archaeological sites, contemplate awe-inspiring scenery and climb up to traditional communities to learn about ancient Inca customs.
