TRIP ITINERARY

DAY 01:

Cusco Hotel Pickup → Mollepata → Humantay Lake Trek → Overnight at Sky Star Crystal Domes

Your Salkantay trek 5 days trek only adventure begins early in Cusco, with hotel pickups between 4:30 and 5:00 AM. Once your guide has gathered the group, you’ll depart Cusco around 5:15 AM by car, heading to the town of Mollepata — a journey of about 2 hours. There, you’ll enjoy a hearty included breakfast at a local restaurant and have time for any last-minute supplies, with a total stop of around 1 hour.

From Mollepata, you’ll continue by car for another hour to Soraypampa, where you’ll meet the muleteers and horses who will carry the camping equipment and duffle bags throughout the trek. This is where the hiking begins.

The trek from Soraypampa to Humantay Lake starts at 3,900 meters and climbs to 4,200 meters, the lake’s location. The hike takes around 2 hours total: a gradual ascent for the first hour, followed by a steeper climb during the second hour.

Once at Humantay Lake, you’ll have 1 to 1.5 hours (weather permitting) of free time to admire the stunning turquoise waters, take photos, and learn more about the area from your guide. Afterward, you’ll begin the descent toward Quiswarniyoc campsite — about 1 hour downhill followed by 45 minutes of mostly flat trail.

You’ll arrive at Quiswarniyoc around 2:00 PM, where a delicious lunch will be waiting, prepared by your cooking team. After lunch, your guide will show you to your accommodations so you can rest. The rest of the afternoon is free for short walks around the area, taking in incredible views of Salkantay Mountain rising directly in front of the campsite.

Dinner is served around 6:00 PM, after which your guide will brief you on Day 2 — the most challenging day of the trek, reaching the highest point of the entire route. Then, it’s time to relax and enjoy a magical night in the Sky Star Crystal Domes, with breathtaking 360° views of the surrounding mountains and night sky.


Day 1 Summary

  • Difficulty level: Moderate
  • Hiking distance: 10 km (approx. 6 miles)
  • Trekking duration: 5 to 6 hours
  • Campsite elevation: 4,000 meters above sea level
  • Weather: Cold and windy nights during the dry season (May–August), with temperatures dropping as low as -5°C
  • Good to know: Day 1 is a great warm-up for acclimatization, helping you prepare for Day 2 — the most challenging day of the trek

Day 1 Inclusions

  • Private transportation from Cusco to the trailhead
  • Meals included: breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner
  • Accommodation: Sky Star Crystal Domes with sleeping pads and pillows
  • Guide for the entire trek
  • Horse to carry your duffel bag (7 kg limit)

Night One: These Sky Star Domes are located in Soraypampa, at approximately 4,000 meters above sea level, offering travelers a breathtaking view of glacier peaks. It’s the perfect luxury spot for photography, as well as for taking in stunning sunrises and sunsets.

The day begins early, at 5 AM, with a cup of coca leaf tea (“té despierto”) brought by the kitchen team to help with altitude acclimatization. You’ll have about 30 minutes to get ready and pack before breakfast, served at 5:30 AM. After breakfast, you’ll have a short window for last-minute checks before setting off on the most challenging hike of the trek.

The ascent to Salkantay Pass begins around 6 AM. From Quiswarniyoc, the climb to the highest point of the trek — 4,700 meters above sea level — takes about 3 to 3.5 hours at a steady pace, with regular breaks every hour to rest and recover energy. The climb is manageable for well-acclimatized trekkers, with altitude being the main challenge rather than the terrain itself.

Once at the pass, you’ll spend 30 to 45 minutes taking in breathtaking views of Salkantay Mountain up close, photographing the surrounding peaks, and learning from your guide about the area’s history and culture. Many groups also take part in a traditional ritual to give thanks to the Apus, the sacred mountain spirits of Andean belief.

From here, the descent begins: a 2-hour hike down to Wayracmachay, where the cooking team will have a nutritious lunch waiting for you. After a short rest (weather permitting), you’ll continue with the second and final descent of the day, heading to Chaullay — your camp for the night.

This descent takes between 2.5 and 3 hours and, although slightly steep, offers incredible views as the landscape transitions from the high Andes to the lush Amazon cloud forest.

Upon arrival at Chaullay (2,900 meters above sea level), your guide will show you to your accommodations for the night. The day wraps up with a well-deserved, delicious dinner prepared by your cooking team — a perfect way to recharge after a day that balances physical challenge with unforgettable Andean landscapes and cultural moments.


Day 2 Summary

  • Difficulty level: Challenging
  • Maximum altitude: 4,700 meters at Salkantay Pass
  • Hiking distance: 22 km (approx. 14 miles)
  • Trekking duration: 9 to 10 hours
  • Campsite elevation: 2,900 meters above sea level
  • Weather: Warm to hot at lower elevations as you descend toward the cloud forest
  • Good to know: Day 2 is the most challenging day of the trek, but you’ll have the full day to complete it at your own pace. It’s also one of the most scenic days, with spectacular views of Salkantay Mountain and the surrounding peaks

Day 2 Inclusions

  • Breakfast, lunch, and dinner
  • Guide for the entire trek
  • Accommodation: Mountain Sky Huts with sleeping pads and pillows
  • Horse to carry your duffel bag (7 kg limit)

Night Two: Glass Cabañas. These cabañas are located in Chaullay, at approximately 2,900 meters above sea level, offering travelers a breathtaking view of the Salkantay Valley. It’s the perfect luxury spot for photography, as well as for taking in stunning views.

After the demanding effort of Day 2, today offers a well-deserved change of pace. The morning begins gently with a wake-up tea at 5:30 AM, followed by time to pack before breakfast, served around 6:00 AM.

The hike sets off around 6:30 AM from Chaullay toward Lucmabamba, your third campsite. This 4-hour trek follows mostly flat terrain through the lush Santa Teresa Valley, where you’ll have the chance to spot diverse flora and fauna as the landscape transitions into cloud forest.

Upon arriving in Lucmabamba — a region famous for its high-quality coffee — you’ll visit a local family at the Coffee Park for an immersive coffee tour. They’ll walk you through the entire process, from planting and harvesting to roasting, and you’ll even get to brew and taste your own freshly made cup. For those looking for extra adventure, this is also where the optional Salkantay Zipline experience takes place, which can be enjoyed before or after lunch — your guide will help coordinate the timing.

Lunch is served at the exclusive Sky Star Crystal Domes in Lucmabamba, where you’ll also spend the night surrounded by the stunning scenery of the Santa Teresa Valley. Since trekking concludes after lunch, the rest of the day is yours to relax and enjoy.

In the afternoon, you can choose to unwind at the campsite or visit the rejuvenating Santa Teresa hot springs — a perfect reward after three days of trekking. This optional activity costs around 40 to 50 soles, which covers round-trip transportation (about 1 hour each way) and the 10-sole entrance fee. If you choose to go, you’ll spend around 2 hours at the hot springs before returning to camp.

Dinner is served around 7:30 PM, prepared by your cooking team. Afterward, your guide will brief you on the final stretch of the journey: the trek toward Aguas Calientes, the gateway town to Machu Picchu.


Day 3 Summary

  • Difficulty level: Easy
  • Hiking distance: 15 km (approx. 10 miles)
  • Trekking duration: 4 to 5 hours
  • Campsite elevation: 2,000 meters above sea level
  • Weather: Hot and humid during the day, chilly at night
  • Good to know: Day 3 offers a relaxed exploration of the Amazon side of the trek, featuring an immersive coffee tour and an optional visit to the rejuvenating Santa Teresa hot springs

Night Three: Sky Star Crystal Domes: Our lodge in Lucmabamba features crystal domes offering 360° panoramic views, with fully transparent walls for a truly immersive experience. Sleep surrounded by nature and wake up to uninterrupted views in every direction.

Today’s adventure starts at a more relaxed pace, with wake-up at 6:00 AM and breakfast at 6:30 AM, giving you time to pack before setting off around 7:00 AM from the Lucmabamba campsite toward the archaeological site of Llactapata.

The hike to Llactapata follows an original, well-preserved section of the Inca Trail and takes about 3 hours uphill. From this site, you’ll enjoy one of the most rewarding views of the entire trek: a unique, distant perspective of Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu, and the surrounding mountains, showing the citadel’s location within its dramatic landscape. After exploring the Llactapata ruins and taking in the views, you’ll begin the descent toward Hidroeléctrica.

This descent is the steepest of the trek, taking around 2 hours — trekking poles are especially useful here. Upon arriving at Hidroeléctrica, you’ll enjoy a well-earned lunch at a local restaurant, followed by some time to rest before continuing your journey.

The final part of the day consists of an approximately three-hour walk from Hidroelectrica to Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), following the route alongside the railway tracks. Along the way, you can enjoy the surrounding scenery and see Machu Picchu from the valley.

Upon arrival in Aguas Calientes, your guide will accompany you to your accommodation. If you do not yet have a Machu Picchu entrance ticket, your guide will assist you and accompany you to the Ministry of Culture office, where you can complete the process to purchase your ticket. There, you will be able to check the available visit date, entry time, and circuit.

Once this process is completed, you will continue with the scheduled program. Dinner will be served at approximately 7:00 PM at a local restaurant, followed by a final briefing from your guide with the necessary information for your Machu Picchu visit, according to the date, entry time, and circuit indicated on your ticket. You will spend the night in Aguas Calientes.

  • Hiking distance: 24 km (approx. 15 miles)
  • Trekking duration: 8 to 9 hours
  • Maximum altitude: 2,700 meters at Llactapata
  • Aguas Calientes elevation: 2,000 meters above sea level
  • Weather: Hot

  • Transportation of your duffel bag (7 kg)
  • Guide for the entire trek

Day 5 of the Salkantay Trek 5 Days Trek Only is planned for your visit to Machu Picchu. However, your actual visit date will depend on the date, entry time, and circuit available on your Machu Picchu entrance ticket.

If You Have a Machu Picchu Ticket for Day 5

If you already have a confirmed entrance ticket for Day 5, please send us your entry time and circuit details. Machu Picchu Team will assign a guide according to your ticket, and your guided tour of Machu Picchu is included in your Salkantay Trek package.

If You Do Not Have a Ticket for Day 5

If you were unable to obtain a Machu Picchu ticket for Day 5, you will need to stay additional time in Aguas Calientes until you obtain an available ticket. During this process, you should remain in contact with our customer service team and inform us as soon as your ticket is confirmed. Once you send us your confirmed visit date, entry time, and circuit, we will coordinate and assign a guide for your Machu Picchu guided tour.

Optional Return Transportation to Cusco

Once your Machu Picchu visit date and time are confirmed, we can also assist you in arranging your return transportation to Cusco, if requested. Return transportation is not included in the tour price and has an additional cost. You can choose between:

  • Return by train: We can assist you with purchasing your train ticket and coordinating your return to Cusco. The price depends on train availability, departure time, and current ticket price.
  • Return by car via Hidroelectrica: We can arrange transportation from Hidroelectrica to Cusco for an additional USD 15 per person. There is only one daily departure, at approximately 3:00 PM from Hidroelectrica.

All return arrangements can be coordinated once we know the confirmed date and entry time of your Machu Picchu ticket.

Inclusions

Included


Pre-Trek Briefing at 7 PM at the Machu Picchu Team Office in Cusco

The day before your trek begins, you’ll attend a briefing at 7:00 PM at our office in Cusco. This is where you’ll meet your guide and the rest of your group for the first time. During this session, your guide will cover everything you need to know: technical details about the trek, exact pick-up times, and your printed train and Machu Picchu entrance tickets. You’ll also receive your duffle bag (for up to 7 kg of personal belongings to be carried by horses) and learn how to store any extra luggage with us if needed. You don’t need to bring anything except your passport for check-in. This is also the time to settle any outstanding balance on your tour or rent a sleeping bag or trekking poles if you haven’t already.


Professional Tour Guide for the Salkantay Trek and Machu Picchu Tour

Your trek is led by certified, professional guides with extensive experience in mountain expeditions, including Salkantay itself. They’ll accompany you throughout the entire journey and also lead your guided tour of Machu Picchu, following the circuit and schedule on your ticket. Every guide carries a first aid kit and an oxygen tank for emergencies, and all guides are fluent in both English and Spanish, ensuring clear communication and a safe experience from start to finish.


Hotel Pick-Up Service Between 4:30 AM and 5:00 AM

Your trek includes hotel pick-up to kick off the adventure. Pick-up times range between 4:30 and 5:00 AM, with the exact time confirmed during your briefing the day before, based on your accommodation’s location. If your hotel is near our office, you also have the option to simply meet us there at 5:00 AM. All the details will be coordinated directly with your guide.


Private Transport from Cusco to Soraypampa

Your package includes private transport in a comfortable tourist vehicle from Cusco to Soraypampa, the starting point of the trek. The journey takes approximately 3 hours, giving you a relaxed and comfortable start before meeting the support team and beginning your hike.


Duffle Bag Service for 7 Kilograms

During the briefing, you’ll receive a duffle bag for up to 7 kg of personal belongings. Our horses carry these bags throughout the trek, so they’re waiting for you at each campsite — meaning you only need to hike with a small daypack for your daily essentials. After the trek, you can leave your duffle bag at our office in Cusco for safekeeping.


Meals Included: 5 Breakfasts, 4 Lunches, and 4 Dinners

Throughout the 5-day trek, our expert chefs travel with the group, preparing fresh, nutritious, and energizing meals: 5 breakfasts, 4 lunches, and 4 dinners in total, plus daily snacks. Vegetarian, vegan, and other special dietary requirements are fully accommodated at no extra cost.


Vegetarian and Vegan Dining

We offer a full range of vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary options, including gluten-free, at no extra cost — simply let us know your preferences when booking.


Cooking Team for the Entire Trek

A dedicated team of chefs travels with the group, preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. They’re trained to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, and other special dietary needs, ensuring every member of the group is well-fed and ready for the day ahead.


Kitchen Equipment and Utensils

All necessary cooking equipment and utensils are provided and transported to each campsite by our team, ensuring every meal is prepared and served in the best possible conditions.


Two Nights in Our Sky Star Crystal Domes

Your trek includes two nights in our exclusive Sky Star Crystal Domes, featuring panoramic transparent walls and ceilings that allow you to enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, nature, and night sky. Each dome is equipped with comfortable mattresses and pillows. You only need to bring your own sleeping bag or rent one from us during the pre-trek briefing. The domes are normally arranged for two guests but are spacious enough to accommodate groups of three or four who prefer to stay together.


One Night in Our Panoramic Cabins

You will also spend one night in our panoramic cabins, designed to provide comfort while keeping you connected with the natural surroundings. The cabins include mattresses and pillows and offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. A sleeping bag is required and can be brought from home or rented from our office before the trek.


One Night in a Hotel in Aguas Calientes

Your final night is spent in a comfortable hotel in Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu Pueblo), allowing you to rest before visiting Machu Picchu the following morning. The hotel room includes a private bathroom, hot shower, Wi-Fi, towels, and basic toiletries. Rooms are normally arranged for two guests, while triple or family rooms can be provided for travelers who wish to stay together, subject to availabilit


Muleteers and Horses

A team of muleteers and horses accompanies the trek, transporting all camping equipment, food supplies, and your duffle bags (up to 7 kg per person, including sleeping bags). This support team is essential to the experience — it means you can hike with just a small daypack while everything else is moved ahead to the next campsite for you.


Machu Picchu Guided Tour

Your package includes a guided tour of Machu Picchu lasting approximately 2.5 hours, led by one of our expert guides and tailored to your ticket’s entry time and assigned circuit. After the tour, you’ll have an additional 30 minutes of free time to take in the views at your own pace. This guide service is included for all travelers — even if you purchased your own Machu Picchu entrance ticket separately or bought it in Aguas Calientes — regardless of your ticket’s circuit or entry time.


Free Luggage Storage

If you’re doing the Salkantay Trek with Machu Picchu Team, our main office — located one block from the Plaza de Armas — offers free storage for any luggage you won’t be taking on the trek. You can drop it off the day before or the same day the trek begins, since the vehicle that takes you to the trailhead stops by the office to collect bags.


Emergency Provisions

For your safety, every guide carries an oxygen bottle and a fully stocked first aid kit, ready to provide immediate assistance whenever needed.


Not Included


Machu Picchu Entrance Ticket Not Included 

Your Machu Picchu entrance ticket is not included in the Salkantay Trek 5 Days Trek Only price. You must purchase your ticket independently and choose your preferred available circuit, entry date, and time. Once you have purchased your ticket, please send us a copy so we can coordinate the Machu Picchu guided tour, which is included in your package.


Return Trip Options From Machu Picchu Not Included

Your return transportation to Cusco is not included in the Salkantay Trek 5 Days Trek Only price. You are responsible for arranging and paying for your return transportation independently. You can choose between the following options:

  • Return by train: You can purchase a train ticket from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo and arrange transportation from Ollantaytambo to Cusco.
  • Return by car via Hidroelectrica: You can walk from Aguas Calientes to Hidroelectrica and arrange transportation from Hidroelectrica to Cusco.

Machu Picchu Team can assist you in arranging either option at an additional cost. Once you have confirmed your Machu Picchu entrance date and time, please contact our team so we can help coordinate the most suitable return option.


Humantay Lake Entrance Ticket

On Day 1, you’ll visit the stunning Humantay Lake, which requires an entrance fee paid to the local Mollepata municipality. This costs 20 soles (approx. $6 USD) for international visitors and 10 soles (approx. $3 USD) for Peruvians. This fee must be paid in cash, in soles, directly at the lake’s entrance.


Sleeping Bag Rental

If you don’t have suitable cold-weather sleeping gear, we offer rentals for the full trip. Our sleeping bags are designed to handle temperatures as low as -10°C (14°F), which is essential for the cold nights at higher altitudes. Rental costs $10 USD for the entire trek.


Trekking Poles

We also offer professional, adjustable trekking poles for rent. These provide valuable support across different terrain types, especially on steep ascents and descents, helping reduce strain on your knees and improve stability. Rental costs $10 USD for the entire trek.


Santa Teresa Hot Springs

On Day 3, trekking typically wraps up around 11 AM, leaving the afternoon free. Many travelers choose to visit the Santa Teresa hot springs, about an hour by vehicle from the Lucmabamba campsite. This optional activity costs roughly 40 to 50 soles in total, covering round-trip transportation (15–20 soles each way) and the hot springs entrance fee (10 soles), paid directly on-site. If you’d rather rest and prepare for Day 4 — one of the most significant days of the trek — staying at the campsite is a great alternative.


Drinking Water Refills

While hot and cold beverages are provided at every meal, bottled or refilled drinking water is not included. Along the trail, you’ll find small local shops roughly every 4 hours selling 2.5-liter bottles of mineral water for 10–15 soles. Alternatively, you can bring your own water filter or purification tablets to refill from natural water sources along the way.


Internet Access

There’s no cellular signal from around 9 AM on Day 1 until you reach the second campsite, where Wi-Fi is available for 10 soles. From Day 3 onward, cellular signal and internet connectivity are generally available again.


Shower and Restroom Facilities

Restrooms at campsites are free to use, though some local facilities along the trail may charge 1 sol. Showers vary by location: the second camp offers hot showers for 10 soles, with cold showers available at no cost. On Day 3, you can use the hot springs, and on Day 4, hot showers are available at your hostel in Aguas Calientes. Due to the cold temperatures, there are generally no shower facilities at the first campsite.


Gratuities

Tipping is entirely optional and at your discretion. While it’s common practice across the tourism industry in Cusco, and trekking staff often appreciate it, no one is obligated to tip. At Machu Picchu Team, all staff receive fair wages — often higher than what other companies pay for similar treks — so tipping is a way to show appreciation, never a requirement.


Travel Insurance

Travel insurance is not included in the price of the Salkantay Trek 5 Days Trek Only. We strongly recommend purchasing coverage before your trip, ideally from your home country, as arranging insurance once in Peru can be difficult.
