    Asked on June 27th, 2022

    Does this Salkantay trail includes the Inca Trail? I'm interested on doing Huayna Pichu Mountain and Machu Pichu Mountain does your company provide these tours?

    Tour Details
    • OneSeed ExpeditionsOperatorWritten June 2022

      The Salkantay trail does not include trekking along the classic 'Inca Trail'. You do hike along some Inca paths. Entrance to Huayna Pichu Mountain and Machu Picchu Mountain is not included on the tour. You can purchase side hike tickets in advance after confirming your Machu Picchu entrance time.

      Some only need a single bed, but if it's cheaper to get double beds at the 4 start and 5 star location, we'd prefer that.

    Where do we stay overnight (tents/cabins), and how much time do we have in/near Machu Pichu? I am a photographer and would want 2 days+ on-site. Maybe a custom tour?
