“ There are far better things ahead than the ones we leave behind” C.S.Lewis
The SALKANTAY MOUNTAIN trek combined with the SHORT INCA TRAIL is the latest addition to our unique ‘off the beaten path’ hiking routes. Starting on the Salkantay Trek the route diverges just before Salkantay Pass and instead goes over the Incachiriaska Pass (Frozen Inca Pass) which leads you down to the village of QORIWAYRACHINA where we catch the train to go down through the Machu Picchu Canyon and the beginning of the Short Inca Trail and continue on to Machu Picchu via the Sun Gate
Important! Our porters carry cooking and camping equipment only. YOU NEED to hire an EXTRA PORTER if you don’t wish to carry your own belongings on the trail. We recommend this as the best thing to do when booking a tour with us.
There is no such thing as a ‘free porter’. Companies that offer this ‘complimentary service’ are usually engaging in exploitative practices that force them to carry extra unpaid weight. Do not fall for of this fishy marketing scheme .
