Itinerary and highlights
This traditional Andean village serves as our peaceful base for acclimatization and dining. Avoid the crowded tourist spots as you enjoy a freshly prepared breakfast to energize your morning trek, and return post-hike to savor a private, high-quality buffet lunch showcasing authentic regional flavors and local ingredients.
As you trek, you will be accompanied by the awe-inspiring silhouette of Mount Salkantay, rising majestically to 6,271 meters (20,574 feet). As the second-highest summit in the Cusco region, this ancient sacred "Apu" (mountain spirit) provides a dramatic, snow-capped backdrop that highlights the wild beauty of the Vilcabamba mountain range.
The ultimate destination of our private journey. Tucked away beneath towering Andean peaks, this striking glacial lagoon captivates visitors with its shifting turquoise and emerald hues. At 4,200 meters (13,779 feet), it offers a serene, postcard-perfect setting that rewards hikers with some of the most extraordinary photography opportunities in Peru.
