Salkantay Lodge
Set at 12,690 feet with views of the sacred Salkantay Mountain, Salkantay Lodge is the dramatic starting point of the lodge-to-lodge trek to Machu Picchu. This high-mountain refuge offers the perfect balance of comfort and adventure, with cozy rooms, an outdoor hot tub, and hearty, locally sourced cuisine to fuel your journey. Spend a day acclimatizing with a guided hike to Humantay Lake, or simply soak in the alpine views from the lodge. Evening fireside chats, excellent service, and shared camaraderie make this a memorable first stop on the trail. Salkantay Lodge combines rugged mountain scenery with warm hospitality and thoughtful touches that elevate the trekking experience from rustic to refined.
