Salkantay vs. Inca Trail: Why we choose this alternative route?
If you are thinking of traveling to the world's most famous Inca citadel, the traditional Inca Trail is likely the first thing that comes to mind. However, at Mons Actividades de Montaña, we have made a different and superior decision for our expeditions.
The Challenge of the Crowds
The Inca Trail is undoubtedly the best-known route, but that fame brings a major disadvantage: a massive number of people traversing it every day. If you are looking for an introspective experience where you can live the silence of the mountain, having to dodge hundreds of hikers in every section can break the magic.
Salkantay: Nature in its Purest State
By choosing the Salkantay Trek, we opt to travel alternative paths that are much less crowded. This allows us to enjoy the Andes in a much more authentic and exclusive way.
Unmatched Comfort: From Tents to Domes
The first few nights you will sleep in comfortable beds with mattresses inside incredible Camp (glass domes) under the stars. As we move toward the jungle, we stay in Jungle Domes and hotels with private bathrooms and hot showers—essential comfort for muscle recovery.
