They say the best part of travel is the journey, not the destination. Many tourists will visit the ancient ruins at Machu Picchu, but fewer will complete the Salkantay Trek, a longer and more intense alternative to the popular Inca Trail. The Salkantay Trek was named one of the 25 best Treks in the World by National Geographic Adventure Travel Magazine, offering travelers up close views of some of the most beautiful mountains in the world.
