The idea of walking to Machu Picchu may seem crazy. Most visitors prefer to get to Machu Picchu by train and bus; However, in recent years the panorama has been changing and the number of adventurers who dare to leave heart and soul for five days on a road that accumulates 75 kilometers in total is increasing.

The road of Salkantay or Salkantay Trek, as it is known, is the most popular alternative to the traditional Inca Trail. The route has been mentioned by National Geographic on several occasions and has given it great international fame, reason that attracts a lot of attention from foreigners but from very few Peruvians.
