Salkantay with Inka Trail to Machu picchu
(7D/6N)
|
|
|
|
|
|
This special route
which mixes
the typical
Andean landscapes
with the
ancestral
Inca
fashions, offer marvellous
views and experiences
from the
motley Andean
world. Less concurred than the popular Inka Trail, during
the route we can appreciate a progression of
diverse ecological peaks, tropical sites, glacier
summits,
before
arriving to the lost Incas' city, Machu picchu.
