Inca Trail and Other Treks from Cusco

Machu Picchu
We have many students hike the Inca or Salkantay Trail each year prior to or after attending our Spanish language school in Cusco. This can be a once in a life time opportunity and allow you to see the natural settings and historic Inca architecture of Peru. 

While we can arrange the fairly inclusive trail package, far in advanced notice, and planning are required on your part in order to take part in a four or five day trek. 

There are a maximum number of people that can go on the hike each season to ensure the integrity of the trail. Machu Picchu as seen in the photo here is certainly at the forefront of the highlight reel from the entire tour that you will take, however there are countless sites and life experiences to be had on this journey. 

The Inca or Salkantay trail are not for the faint of heart as you will be walking for up to eight hours on some days and also traversing thousands of feet in altitude. Some advanced training is recommended for this rigorous course. 

Since each of the treks can take 4 or 5 days respectively, you must allot a full week prior or after your Spanish program in order to fit in the trails along with travel time. Additional nights at school sanctioned can be arranged upon request and based on availability. 

View a full listing of options and what your package would include at our Inca Trails Page. I can't wait to cross this one off my bucket list.
