Salkantay Trek, Peru. The route to Machu Picchu that most travelers walk right past.
The Incas worshipped the mountain it’s named after as a living god and called it “Savage Mountain.” The trail climbs straight past its glaciers to a pass at 4,630 meters, over 400 meters higher than the highest point on the famous Inca Trail.
