The 5-day, 4-night Salkantay Trek is a longer and more relaxed version of the classic 4-day trek. It offers more time to acclimatize to the altitude and explore the beautiful Andean landscapes. The itinerary includes an extra night at the campsite in Soraypampa, allowing for a more gradual ascent towards the Salkantay Pass. You’ll also have the chance to visit the hot springs of Santa Teresa and explore the coffee plantations of the Llactapata region. The final day of the trek includes a visit to Machu Picchu and a return to Cusco in the evening.
