SALKANTAY TO MACHUPICCHU 5 DAY 4 NIGHT

Because of the new restrictions that the INC has been imposing, many alternative routes to get to the Citadel of Machu have been found; during the route, we will appreciate an amazing sunrise over the snow-covered of Salkantay (6271 m.s.l.) and the first light of the sun which illuminate the summit of the mountain.
