Situated 36 km from Huayna Picchu, Salkantay Hostel Chaullay offers 3-star accommodation in Santa Teresa and has a garden, a restaurant and a bar. The property is non-smoking and is set 38 km from Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary. Beautifully built property by Manuel and his friend. Best room on the trek. Manuel cooked a beautiful meal for us and we had a wonderful time at dinner hearing his story. This is really what makes trekking so special in Peru, connecting with the locals and hearing their amazing stories.
