At Salkantay Trek Machu, we've been guiding travelers through Peru since 2017 — and we still get the same thrill watching someone reach Machu Picchu for the first time.
We're a sustainable trekking and adventure tour operator based in Cusco, with over 100 itineraries designed for travelers who want more than just a highlight reel. Whether you're tackling the Salkantay Trek, exploring the remote ruins of Choquequirao and Kuelap, or looking for Inca Trail & Amazon Rainforest tour packages that go beyond the tourist surface — we've built a route for you.
But here's what actually drives us: we believe the best travel leaves a place better than you found it. Every trip we design is built around that idea — supporting local communities, protecting the landscapes we love, and making sure Peru remains extraordinary for the people who live here and the travelers still to come.
If you're planning a trip to Peru and want an experience that feels real, reaches deep, and stays with you long after you're home — you're in the right place. We'd love to help you plan it.

The Salkantay Trail is renowned as the most beautiful route, considered the sacred mountain by local Incas and residents. It has emerged as an alternative trek to the Inca Trail and has been recognized as one of the top 25 best routes to visit by National Geographic. Unfortunately, the trail faces exploitation by tourist operators and travelers, often without responsible practices.
The Salkantay Trek once boasted one of the most enchanting natural routes worldwide. Tour operators used to bring personal tents, dining tents, and toilet facilities, leaving the landscape untouched. Throughout the journey, one could witness pristine nature and wildlife. However, irresponsible companies have marred the trail over time by constructing igloos, hotels, and restaurants at former campsites solely for profit, thereby destroying the natural beauty of this trail. To preserve the sacred mountain, we strongly recommend practicing responsible travel.
