Machu Picchu Trek - 8-Night Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu
The remote Hidden Valleys of Salkantay Trek carries you up barren mountain valleys, over a 15,750-foot pass, and down undisturbed valleys culminating in a visit to the enchanted ruins of Machu Picchu. This seldom traveled route amid the Vilcambamba range is peppered with lesser-known Incan ruins. Encountering only the local farmer from time to time, revel in the solitude this route affords as it traces the way through the Inca empire’s heartland with breathtaking views of the Andes. The prize after this strenuous trek is the elusive Machu Picchu.
A unique life experience that will be hard to top. Make lifetime friends from strangers you trek with.
This Experience Includes:
* 4-nights in Cusco including breakfast and sightseeing
* All meals and accommodations while on trek
* Guide and porter
* Machu Picchu entrance ticket
* Transport to and from trailheads by private vehicle
* Airport transfers
* Winspire booking & concierge service

A majority of outfitters do not allow "stringing" of donation hunts (purchase of multiple hunts in a single country), even if it is not explicitly stated in the hunt description, so please don't buy more than one hunt per country.

Auction hunts are donated in good faith by the donor. Donations are made to both raise money for our core missions, and secondly to attract new customers to outfitters. Most outfitters do not accept multiple purchases by the same bidder to be used all together as one item. Please be respectful of the opportunity you have been offered!
Auction hunt buyers must be flexible as some dates are inevitably booked by the outfitter or professional hunter.
