Alternative Treks to Machu Picchu

You will find many alternative treks to Machu Picchu. Considering the interest and the time availability of each traveler. Top Peru Trips has created a great number of trekking tours as the best alternative treks to Machu Picchu. Its because the popular 4 day hike called Classic Inca Trail was limited to 500 people on the trail per day. So this situation made to the alternative trails to start gaining popularity between the travelers to Machu Picchu. That is how travelers begin hiking those trails calling them as the alternative treks.

Here is list some of those trek options: Salkantay trek and variations depending on the fitness and time availability of the trekkers. Lares trek and variations recommended for people looking to experience the Authentic Peruvian culture on the Andes Mountains. Ancascocha trek, a new trekking trail. But one of the most spectacular and lesser visited trek option. Which ends at the beginning part of the Classic Inca Trail. Huchuy Qosqo trek, a fascinating and breathtaking route. So this is our suggestion for people looking for short treks near to Cusco.

Some other great alternative treks to Machu Picchu, which travelers should consider are: Soqma or Inca Quarry trail, Choquequirao trek. All those hiking trails are available any time and do not require trek permits from the government office.
