If you liked the idea of sleeping in the Eco Majestic Sky Domes, the next step is finding out which Salkantay tours include them. Not all programs stay in the domes, so here we explain which ones do and which night of the itinerary corresponds to this stop, so you can choose the tour that best suits your trip.
Where the domes fit into the route
The Eco Majestic Sky Domes are located in Playa Sahuayaco, at 2,100 m above sea level, along the section of the route that descends from Salkantay toward Machu Picchu. Due to their location, they are used as a rest stop once you have crossed the higher part of the mountain, when your body appreciates descending to a milder area.
In programs that include them, the night in the domes is usually one of the last nights of the trek, before continuing to Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu.
