This 8-day route combines Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and the Salkantay Trail with a visit to Machu Picchu at the end of the trek. Start with time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley to help with acclimatization before heading into the Andes on foot. The trek includes Humantay Lake, Salkantay Pass, the cloud forest, Lucmabamba, and Llactapata, with a final night in Aguas Calientes before the Machu Picchu visit. Along the way, you visit Pisac, Maras, Moray, Salineras, Ollantaytambo, and Cusco, and you also have time for a coffee experience and a Pachamanca lunch in Lucmabamba. The trip uses camping, mountain huts, hotel nights, and guided transport between key points. Luggage handling, meals listed in the itinerary, entrance tickets, and the Vistadome return train are included as part of the package. The trip is suited to travelers looking for a small-group trek that balances walking days with classic Andean sites and practical support throughout the route.
