The Salkantay Trek, less-known than the Inca Trail, offers a journey to Machu Picchu that is lighter on tourists. Spanning approximately 74 km, to be covered over 4-5 days, this route was historically taken by Incan religious leaders who believed the high altitudes brought them nearer to the divine. Unlike the Inca Trail, which is paved with ruins, the Salkantay trek meanders through diverse terrains from glaciers to tropical Andean forests and reaches elevations close to 5,000 m.
