It's a relatively easy pleasant trek, spending the night at Wiñay Wayna before arriving at Machu Picchu for sunrise on the 2nd day.

Salkantay to Machu Picchu Trek The Salkantay to Machu Picchu trek normally takes 5 days and has become popular with trekkers wanting to combine a quieter less trodden route with a visit to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu. For the first 3 days you will be surrounded with magnificent scenery and rarely see other groups of trekkers. On the fouth day you join up with the Inca Trail at Wayllabamba and continue to Machu Picchu arriving evening on day 4. The trek is only a little more difficult than the Inca Trail, and horses can be used for the first 3 days to carry food and equipment. Since horses are not allowed on the Inca Trail, you'll swap over to using human porters for this final section.
