Salkantay is a mountain located in the Andes Mountain Range in Cusco, Peru, with an altitude of 6,271 meters above sea level. Its name, Quechua “Salkantay,” means “wild mountain” or “cold mountain” due to its extreme climate. It is considered an “Apu” in Andean cosmology, a protective deity revered by local communities. Geographically, it features a diverse landscape, ranging from high-altitude grasslands to cloud forests. The Salkantay Trek is a popular hike that takes travelers from the high mountains to Machu Picchu. This route offers a more remote and challenging experience than the traditional Inca Trail. The mountain is a sacred and majestic symbol of the Andean region.
Although it is not necessary to be a professional athlete, we recommend having moderate physical fitness, as the trek includes mountainous terrain and high altitudes, which can be demanding.
