4.8(11 reviews)

Imagine trekking through landscapes painted in every color of the rainbow and tracing the ancient pathways of the Incas—this is the promise of the Walk Peru's Inca Trail and Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain tour. Over 14 dynamic days, this challenging adventure is designed for seasoned travelers, blending high-altitude hiking with cultural immersion. Your journey begins in Lima and culminates in Cusco, weaving through highlights like the floating islands of Lake Titicaca and the mesmerizing Uros reed villages.

With all logistics—from accommodation and meals to expert guidance—carefully managed, you’re free to embrace every moment of exploration. The distinctiveness of this trip lies in its combination of classic trails and lesser-known gems, ensuring a truly comprehensive, off-the-beaten-path Peruvian trekking experience.

Came back from the Salkantay trek with amazing memories, the trip was excellent from the beginning to finish. The hikes were great and we recommend at least two days of acclimatization if you really enjoy the trek. Our guide was incredible and attentive, he was always taking care of everybody. We are also grateful to the cook and the horsemen for the great food and carrying all the equipment. Don't miss this trek, it is worth it.
