Challenging hiking, awesome nature and beautiful mountains, interesting Inka history
We were a group of six people pluss our awesome guide Elio. We had a fantastic time together and enjoyed it very much. The food was great, the hiking challenging and the trip well organized. We can highly recommened it to everyone that wants not only to see Machu Picchu but also experience Inka history.

Dont Believe The Reviews
What an absolute disaster of a company this is. Ellio is an awesome tour guide but there is no organization whatsoever.Despite saying the Macchu Picchu ticket is included, the company forgot to buy and tickets were sold out. They forced me to skip day 4 and pay MYSELF to get a taxi to Macchu Picchu just for tickets to be sold out on the agreed date.I had to miss out on my $500 flight back and part of the trip because they didn’t care. Owner never responds quick or even said sorry. Avoid this disaster and don’t believe the reviews.

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sacred Valley.
How much does Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sacred Valley usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sacred Valley is not rushed.
Is Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Sacred Valley, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sacred Valley can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sacred Valley and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Salkantay Trek Llactapata 5 days 4 nights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sacred Valley within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sacred Valley?
+
On Outty we rank every Sacred Valley experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best Private Sacred Valley Tour in Cusco ( with Pisac), From Urubamba & Ollantaytambo: Sacred Valley Day tour with Lunch, Machu Picchu Guided Tour from Aguas Calientes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sacred Valley?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sacred Valley?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
