Great Video guys, great way to adventure and inspire other young travellers to do things on their own. Me and my partner (I'm in my 40s) are going to do the trek next year solo, there are no permit costs for this trek correct? How much did you guys pay to get to the start of the trek by truck? Many thanks :)
Hi Steven. My name is Ricardo and I live in Cusco. Salkantay treking is awesome. If you need information about the treking I am able to help you. Good luck.
rikolausa Could you please explain me the whole process? So if you go solo it is about 30$ and if you go with a tour guide it goes from 250-600$? Do i need to buy my tickets in advance for the trek or only for tu final point of vue? And this does not include the point of vue on the top right? Thanks and great vidéo!
there are a lot of water sources so just carry a 1.5lt water bottle and filter as needed. food we went primitive and just brought food bars and dried fruit and nuts! luckily one of the campsites we stayed at the owner made us a dinner for about 3 usd a person which was very nice! when we went in march it was only cold at elevation before the pass and once at lower altitude it was warm enough for shorts and a t shirt! enjoy your journey!!
@@mattmodernalchemist5774 for someone doing the trek solo, how would i schedule the campsite reservations? i've looked all over and can't find shti. thanks in advance
@@ryanmorris9063 hi, we camped our first night right off the trail after humantay lake. Second night we camped at this local village which was about 1-2miles past a popular campsite. We were the only ones staying there and the locals made us a nice home made meal! Was excellent. 3rd night we camped at the top of llactapata, there is a campground up there and the women was very friendly. 4th night we stayed at a hotel in aguas calientes
Thanks for the info! Im pretty excited about this trek watching y'alls video pumped me up! The first camping spot you all picked looked pretty dope, (weather must of made it an interesting experience lol) is it located ahead of the Soraypampa camping grounds?
Matt Modern Alchemist Thanks for reply! Me and my friend are thinking of doing the same route, your vid was much of a help. If you don't mind I'm gonna shoot one more question - how were you in terms of food? Apart from eating the dinner along the way from locals, do you remember how much you took with yourself? And was it enough... we're two gals so we're thinking if 4days supplies is not too much for as to handle, we're sport-ish but weight is weight... thanks in advance if you'll be kind enough to answer!
@@barb7621 we brought things like beef jerky, dried fruits, pro bars are great, and nuts. We did not bring a stove or any meals so to speak. We over packed food for sure. It's not a very long hike so I wouldnt pack too much. Enjoy it
yo man, very nice! well done got couple questions: -To summit the Saltankay mountain, is it part of the trek or is it something extra? -How easy is it to find the trail, how did you guys navigate? thank you!
summiting the mountain is not part of the trek, that would be mountaineering rather than trekking! you get a view of the mountain on the trek of course. we used alltrails app which works extremely well, although not entirely necessary, it is well marked. enjoy and thanks for watching!
Very inspiring! What an adventure! Congrats!👏👏👏 I am planning to do this trek next year, I'd like to ask did you buy the ticket to enter the Machu Pichu in advance? Where? From what I've learned that there is a limited amount of people can enter the site per day. Thank you.
Hi there and thanks for the kind comments. The link here is where you can reserve your entry ticket into machu Picchu. www.ticketmachupicchu.com Book well in advance to get the time and date you need. Thanks and goodluck with the adventure
Hi. My name is Ricardo. I am peruvian and I live in Cusco. The web site where you can buy machu picchu tickets is machupicchu.gob.pe, best time to visit Machu Picchu is in Dry season between Abril and September. Busy months are June and July. You need to buy tcikets with 3 or 4 months in advance in high season.
I admire you guys for daring to do the trek yourselves. No guide and in all weather conditions
Thanks! We enjoyed the challenge and recommend it for anyone to try! It has just enough challenge to make it exciting for anyone!
Best video I've ever seen in my life!!!
I can give you some tips if you would like to ever try something like this in the future!
Wow great video. Thanks for sharing! Im going there on april. Is there a way of making the trk without tent, renting a bed along the way?

Great video guys! I’m about to embark on this trek next week, doing it solo as well. Were there enough sources of water along the trail?
Norberto Botello a ton of water sources! Dont carry more than 2 lt at a time!
Thanks for the info! Im pretty excited about this trek watching y'alls video pumped me up! The first camping spot you all picked looked pretty dope, (weather must of made it an interesting experience lol) is it located ahead of the Soraypampa camping grounds?
Exactly! Just before the ascent to salkantay
Hey guys! So it took you bit more than 4 days to get there? You took the train back?
Correct. The 5th morning we went to MP. We took train to a bus back to cusco

Congratulations on the adventure! I would like to know how they did to feed themselves during the journey. Did you take food or buy it on the way?
Thanks! We brought our own food. Nuts berries, chocolate. That was about it haha
yo man, very nice! well done
