Horseback Riding: Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu - Luxury Experience

This 9-day trip covers the Salkantay route to Machu Picchu, with sections done on horseback rather than entirely on foot. It's a private, fully guided journey, so the pace and rhythm of the days are shaped around your group rather than a fixed schedule.

You move through the Andes' cloud forests and over high mountain passes, with guides on hand throughout to explain the history and landscape as you go. The route is less travelled than the classic Inca Trail but leads to the same destination.

It's pitched as a luxury take on the trek, pairing the physical challenge of the Andes with a more comfortable, personalised style of travel.
