On day four, does the hike on foot go to Machu Picchu? Or is there a bus that takes you to Machu Picchu?

Yes, the day four to go up to Machu picchu is by foot, but at Aguas Calientes you can buy the bus up/down.

Do we have to buy tickets seperately for Macchu Pichu? Can we start in Ollatenambo?

Yes, it's include your entrance to Machu Picchu, for the date that you need we still have just 40 spots available. If you would like to book it you must book as soos as possible because they are ending so fast. For this trek it's neccessary start in Cusco because you'll go to a different route.

Is this Machu Picchu hike with a group of people? How many people are in the group already?

According to your request, the 4 days Salkantay Trekking goes with almost 10 or 16 people on the group and all together they hike up to Machu Picchu for now we have 8 people already, but in case you want to do more private, we have a group leaving the 29th of march for salkantay but 5 days, we have 2 ladies waiting for 3 more, because this groups leaves with 3 but 5 is the limit.

For the Salkatany trek to Machu Pichu in 4 days, is there a list of things to bring and are any vaccines/medical things needed?

According to your request for salkantay trekking the only medinal things are the altitude sicknes pills, because the rest will be fine.

Is there an age limit? (Our group is in age group of 22-60 years old) and are training for the trek. Do you provide duffel bag or do we have to bring our own duffle bags? What is the weight limit for the duffel bag(including sleeping bags)? What kind of tent accommodations do you provide? Does it have any mattresses? How many people in a tent? What kind of toilets are available? Am assuming that we can rent sleeping bags and hiking poles from you. What is the cost? Do you provide any rain jacket/poncho for traveler? Do you offer an upgrade to vista-dome train ride back?

We can depart with your group without age limit, you'll have assistance during all the time. We provide a duffel bag, and can carry with you a small bag with the most necessary items for your trip. With the duffel bags just 5kilos per person include sleeping bag. 1° and 2° night you'll have large tents of 4 people for accommodation of only 2 people for their comfort, suitable for the altitude and cold of the area and 3° night in a hotel. About bathrooms they are as the traditional. You can bring with you your own sleeping bags and walking poles, but in case you'll need we can give them. Sleeping bag price is US$ 25.00 and Walking poles is US$ 25.00 (We can organize them at least one day before your departing). For the moment we don't provide ponchos for rain. In case of vistadome you can add US$ 20.00 per person, in your briefing time too.

Is it possible for him to go by horseback and us to hike? How many miles per day is the hike and what is the elevation climb?

About Salkantay 5 days, for the person that can't go hiking we can assist him with an additional horse (US$ 85.00); but consider that this service is only until the day 3rd of the trek then he can hike or we can organize transportation Approx (US$ 45.00) as an additional too.

What's the airport destination where i should land in? Cusco?

if you want to have this tek you need to lan d in Cusco at least 2 days before to do it.

Is it possible to schedule my train/bus tickets back to Cusco for a different date?

In case you'll like to have extra nights in Ollantaytambo town you can find buses departing to Cusco each 1 hour approx. the trip is between 2 hours from this town to Cusco.

I was just wondering when the bike ride and the zipline activities are on this tour? I could read in in the reviews but could not find it in the description of the tour.

Salkantay is only trekking maybe on the route you can find zipline activity.

Would strongly recommend this tour. It’s a packed itinerary, but absolutely worth it as it offers a comprehensive look at Peru—from the coast to the Andes and the jungle—along with its incredible food and culture. I loved all the places I have been to, they all offer different exepriences. Although the highlight for me was Cusco and the Sacred Valley incl. Machu Picchu and Inca Trail (switched Salkantay trail to Inca Trail), which really captured the magic of the country. While I was the only one booked on the full itinerary, I joined different groups each day, which made it easy to meet new people and share experiences along the way. Everything was very well organized, and the logistics ran smoothly throughout the trip. From Ica to Cusco, Manu was my guide, and he made a huge difference. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and always kept me informed about the next day’s plans while making sure I was comfortable and enjoying myself. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him! This tour is perfect for travelers who want to see a wide range of what Peru has to offer and don’t mind a fairly active schedule. I would highly recommend it.Show more

The tour was great with all the activities and experiences. They took care of all modes of transportation, from picking us up from the airport to dropping us back to catch our flight. Our guides Ronal and Tito were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. There was some disorganisation and confusion with the company for the itinerary we had booked and what they had scheduled us for, so be careful when checking in to check the details. But they immediately took care of it the moment we let them know. The lodge and rooms were great. This is out in the jungle, and the staff tries to keep it as close to nature as possible. But a fan, some extra toilet paper, and some more vegetarian meal options would have made it a little more comfortable.Show more
