@theglobewanderers: This is the HARDEST hike to Machu Picchu 😱🏔️🥾 This is the Salkantay Trek - a 65km hike that takes you to over 15,000 feet of elevation. While it may seem intimidating, this hike is incredibly rewarding with amazing mountain views and is broken up with stops at coffee plantations, fruit farms and hot springs. We did the 5 day premium trek with @Salkantay Trekking which included their exclusive glamping domes with comfy beds and hot showers along the way (not tents for us 🙌🏻 ) We also had a private chef for our group making some amazing meals! Would you rather hike to Machu Picchu or take the train 🤔

didn't see any of these cozy domes on the inca trail 😅

I’m so happy you got to see Machu Picchu…. This was my view 😭😭😭

Rich people version.

jb :

Just wanted to let you know that I BOOKED THE TOUR because of your post! I am claiming my entire year of spontaneous travel! Thank you ✨

ginamidala :

I was that person who took the train🤭

am22346097 :

why did I think Machu Piccu was a day hike? I feel like I've seen videos of people saying they start before the sun comes up and then get to the top by mid day. idk this looks like an amazing trip

jessicamiller4179 :

Maybe a dumb question, but how did you get down? Did you hike the whole way back or take a train? If you hiked, was it a whole 5 days back?

Josh Kuenzel :

I would love to do this knowing full well I would curse myself multiple times a day

AsherJBrinckley :

How many miles per day was this?

marilee6717 :

They have domed sleeping spaces with hot showers along the trail now? I thought it was super fancy to have food ready for you and tents set up when you arrived at camp

Josh Dickey-Lux Travel Planner :

I enjoyed the Train then got to see more of the country the 5 days instead of hiking. To each their own

Ali Morter :

I also did the salkantay and I agree, it is long days and high peaks. I’m from Colorado and have hiked 14’ers and the Andes are higher! Really cool experience, anyone wanting to do it should definitely train so you actually enjoy it!

Fafi Bastardo :

i guess it's not unusual seeing how there's conveniently placed fancy rentals on the way.

theebbemonster :

Looks amazing and expensive!

Rebekah :

how safe do you think it would be to do this solo traveling with the trekking company?

MainCharacterEra :

I told my 7 year old I’d do this with him when he graduates HS, as long as he graduated with honors. Homie will remember this and cash in

Christina Heller :

Trip of a lifetime!! Wow!!

EH :

I did this back in 2000. Wow has it glammed up! 😂 Gorgeous. Makes me want to hike it again.

LDawson :

Hi! We’re thinking about doing this! Ton of questions so sorry! 🥺How was the transportation from the airport? I think I saw it’s included? How long total did you spend there, Before & after? Does the tour company help you find accommodations there should you go in early or do you have some recommendations? 🥰

meagan glenn :

Bringing me back to 2022!! What a fun hike that was

YT & Kofi byPortia Dawn :

haras..sarah :
