Discover Choquequirao, Ausangate and other Andean routes, each with its own landscapes, stories and rhythm.
THE SKYDOME WAY
The Andes hold many journeys beyond the best-known trails. This collection brings together treks around Choquequirao and Ausangate, alongside routes through Lares, Huchuy Qosqo, the Inca Quarry and the Inca Jungle.
Choose the landscapes and experiences that draw you in: archaeological sites, mountain lakes, colorful peaks or a different approach to Machu Picchu. The routes vary in duration and difficulty, so take time to compare the daily itinerary.
Some journeys include SkyDome stays, while others follow different accommodation plans. Open each tour for the details of its route, overnight stops and inclusions, and ask our team for help choosing between them.

Real experiences from travelers who slept under the Andean sky
I never thought I could sleep in a luxury bed while staring at the Milky Way through a transparent dome. The Salkantay glacier right in front of you at sunrise — absolutely unreal. Worth every penny.
SkyDomeCamps - Sky DomeWe did the full Salkantay Trek and stayed at the dome on night two. After a hard day of hiking, coming back to a real bed, hot shower and that view of the mountain? Nothing compares to that.
SkyDomeCamps - Salkantay TrekI have camped across Patagonia and Nepal but nothing matched this. The dome is warm, beautifully designed and the silence at 4,600m is something else entirely. I woke up at 3am just to stare at the stars.
