Trip Summary
Those seeking an alternative route or new challenge to supersede the classic, yet well-trampled Inca Trail, may like to consider the ‘Machu Picchu Lodge to Lodge Trek’. This small group trek offers a unique hiking experience that enlists the comfort of four excellent and fully equipped mountain lodges in which to retire at the end of each day. The itinerary is paced to allow acclimatisation and to make the most of the dramatic mountain scenery. Furthermore, luggage is transported for you, so all you need to carry is a modest daypack while traversing across numerous scenic passes peaking to 4,600 m (15,000 ft) from Salkantay.
The trek includes visits to the Inca ruins of Tarawasi and Llactapata, and also to the rural village of Lucmabamba before reaching Aguas Calientes and the magnificent citadel of Machu Picchu.
