The Salkantay Trek in recent years is becoming more and more popular among travelers because it is a valid alternative to the Inca trail.
Anyone who wants to try their hand at the famous Inca Trail today must pay good money and book well in advance, at least 6 months.
The Salkantay Trek on the other hand, despite following a different but equally beautiful route, and perhaps a little more tiring, costs much less than the Inca Trail and the satisfactions it offers are enormous!
