During the Salkantay trek, you spend the night in tents in the Andes Mountains near traditional Peruvian villages. You sleep on mattresses in spacious tents brought by the tour. Bathroom conditions are primitive, and there is no running water available during the trek itself.
You do not need to worry about moving tents and mattresses between camp sites – your guide and porters will take care of that with the aid of the pack horses they will bring on the journey. They will also handle all transport of food for the meals, the dining tent and its tables and chairs, as well as your personal baggage, which can weigh up to 6 kg.
Look forward to experiencing the impressive and untouched nature of the Andes Mountains and a magical starry sky at night.
