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.

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.

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.

The activities were great. The guide was knowledgeable and a great support. Communication from the organising company in Cusco was the biggest let down. Specific details about timings and practical aspects were in short supply and caused a few stressful moments. It’s the usual story of those that do it everyday, do not appreciate what those who are doing it for the first time need to know. Most information was written for selling purposes and not practical day to day details.Show more
