We will explore the beautiful Rio Blanco Valley before crossing an exceptionally steep and snowy high pass at an altitude of 4,600m – the Salkantay Pass. Trekking under the grand, snow-girt mass of the thrilling Sacred Inca mountain, Salkantay (6,264m) will totally astound as the south face of this revered peak towers high above us. Mesmerising panoramic views across the sprawlinMachu Picchug Valcabamba Range will captivate the senses and make every step of your trekking adventure exceptionally memorable.
