If you're looking for adventure and impressive mountain scenery, the Salkantay Trek is an excellent choice. This 5-day trek is filled with unique landscapes, from snow-capped peaks to tropical cloud forests, ending in the town of Aguas Calientes before you explore Machu Picchu. 

Along the way, you'll enjoy panoramic views, relax in natural hot springs, and immerse yourself in the natural landscapes of the Andes. It's perfect for travelers who love exploring nature beyond the traditional routes.

For a unique Andean experience with a closer connection to local communities, the Lares Trek is an excellent alternative. This 4-day trek takes you through small villages, peaceful valleys, mountain lakes, and quiet landscapes away from the crowds.

You'll pass beautiful mountain lakes, hike through remote landscapes, and enjoy warm Andean hospitality on your journey toward unforgettable Machu Picchu. Ideal for travelers seeking culture, tranquility, and a closer connection to the heart of the Andes.

If you prefer a relaxed and scenic journey to Machu Picchu, our Machu Picchu by Train tour is for you. Enjoy a comfortable train ride through the Sacred Valley, with impressive views of mountains, valleys, and the Urubamba River. 

This option is perfect if you want to experience the magic of Machu Picchu without hiking, allowing you to admire Peru's beauty from the comfort of your seat.

If you have any additional questions, our team will be available to help. We want you to arrive in Peru with all the information you need and the peace of mind of knowing that every detail of your TreXperience adventure has been carefully arranged.

Packing the right essentials for an adventure in the Andes is important. Here are some of the key items we recommend bringing:

• Daypack: A small backpack of around 25 liters is ideal for carrying water, snacks, sun protection, and the items you'll need during the hike.
• Hydration: Staying well hydrated is especially important at high altitude. Bring a hydration bladder such as a CamelBak or water bottles with a total capacity of 2 to 3 liters.
• Weather protection: Weather in the Andes can change quickly. We recommend bringing a waterproof jacket, rain pants, and several layers of clothing that you can adjust as temperatures change.
• Sleeping bag: A sleeping bag suitable for cold temperatures will help you rest comfortably during the trek. If you don't have one, you can rent one directly from us.

To make sure you have all the equipment you need before your trek, TreXperience offers rentals of essential gear such as sleeping bags, trekking poles, and inflatable mattresses.

You can make your payment using any of the following methods:

• Cash: We accept Peruvian soles, U.S. dollars, or a combination of both currencies. We recommend using bills in good condition.
• Credit card: We accept Visa payments, subject to a 5.5% processing fee.
• Online payment: If you prefer to pay before your trip, just let us know and our team will send you a secure payment link.

Because of Cusco's altitude and geographical location, the weather can change quickly and rain may occur at any time. For our mountain treks, we'll provide you with a rain poncho and a waterproof cover to protect your backpack. 

Even so, we also recommend bringing a waterproof jacket, pants, and gloves for extra protection and greater comfort throughout the trek.

During our adventure treks, we'll provide you with a duffle bag that our porters or muleteers will carry for you. Please keep the following in mind:

• Weight limit: Your duffle bag must weigh no more than 7 kg, including your sleeping bag and any rented equipment.
• Pack smart: Use plastic bags to keep your belongings organized and dry, especially if you're carrying electronics, documents, or valuables.

Preparing physically can help you enjoy the trek with greater comfort and confidence. You don't need to be an experienced hiker, but it is a good idea to prepare your body in advance. Here are a few ways to get ready:

• Cardio: Walk, jog, or hike several times a week. Aim for sessions of at least one hour and, whenever possible, train on hills or uneven terrain.
• Strength: Add simple exercises such as squats, lunges, and stair climbing to strengthen your legs and improve your endurance.
• Train with a backpack: Take a few practice hikes carrying a backpack with a similar weight to what you'll use during the trek. This will help you get comfortable walking with extra weight and find the most comfortable fit for you.

We recommend arriving in Cusco at least two days before your trek. This will give you time to acclimatize to the altitude, relax, and explore the city before your adventure begins.

To make sure everything goes smoothly, please pay your remaining balance at least 48 hours before the tour. You can pay:

• In cash: In Peruvian soles or U.S. dollars (bills must be in good condition).
• By card: A 5.5% processing fee applies.

This pre-tour meeting allows us to finalize all the details and answer any questions before your adventure begins. During the briefing, we'll go over the following:

• Passport: Bring your original passport and make sure it is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date.
• Duffle bag: We'll give you the bag that our porters or muleteers will carry for you during the trek.
• Additional gear: If you need to rent a sleeping bag, trekking poles, or any other available equipment, you can request it during this meeting.
• Hotel pickup: We'll confirm the location of your accommodation in Cusco and the pickup details for the day of your tour.
• Meet your guide and group: This is a great opportunity to break the ice and get to know the people who will be joining you on the adventure.

Once everything is ready, use the evening before your trek to take care of any final details and get some rest before the adventure begins:

• Last-minute shopping: If you're still missing anything, use this time to pick up snacks, warm clothing, or other essentials in Cusco.
• Light dinner: Choose a light, nutritious meal that will help you recharge without feeling too full.
• Get a good night's sleep: Departure will be early, so resting well will help you begin the adventure with energy and feel ready for the trek ahead.

• Guided experiences: Our expert guides will accompany you throughout the journey, sharing the history, culture, and meaning behind the places you visit. You'll learn more about the Incas, Peruvian culture, and each destination while having plenty of opportunities to ask your guide questions along the way.
• Fresh Peruvian food: Each day, our chefs prepare local dishes using fresh ingredients. If you're vegetarian, vegan, or follow a special diet, we'll have delicious options for you.
• Respect for nature and culture: Follow your guide's instructions to help protect the natural environment and historical sites. Leave only footprints and take only memories.
• Tips: If you'd like to thank your guide, chef, or porters, tips are always appreciated. They are not required, but they are a thoughtful way to show your gratitude.
• Rest and recharge: At the end of each day, you'll have time to relax at the campsite or your accommodation, share experiences with your fellow travelers, and rest before continuing the adventure the next day.

At the end of your trek, we'll make sure everything wraps up smoothly and on a positive note:

• Return rented gear: If you used any rental equipment, please return it to our team at the end of the tour so it can be prepared for future travelers. 
• Share your feedback: Your comments are very important to us. They help us understand what we did well, identify opportunities to improve, and continue providing high-quality service.
• Stay connected with us: Join the TreXperience community, share your photos and stories, and connect with other travelers. We'd love to stay connected even after your adventure in Peru.
