Inca jungle Trail

The Salkantay Trek is one of the most popular Machu Picchu trekking options. This trail takes you to the second-highest and one of the most revered mountains in the region of Cusco, located in the Vilcabamba mountain range of the Peruvian Andes. This mountain was also extremely important in Inca times, as it provided fresh water to all the inhabitants who lived in its valleys. Today, this mountain is appreciated for its history, varied landscape, and as a more adventurous way of reaching Machu Picchu.
