FAQs Frequently asked questions of our travelers

What is its name in Quechua for the Salkantay?

Its name from Salkantay in Quechua means “wild mountain”. The slopes of this snow-capped mountain are known for their technical difficulties, which every year attract climbers from all over the world. However, around it, there is also a network of trails for adventure trekking through the mountains and the Salkantay valley. The best-known four-day Salkantay trek can be started in Limatambo, Mollepata, or in Soraypampa. Two imposing peaks, the Humantay lagoon and the snow-capped Salkantay, dominate the landscape.

This tourist destination also offers the possibility of getting to know the native natural fauna —from vizcachas and alpacas to condors. It is an alternate route to get to the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu (Machu piccho).

Location: Districts of Santa Teresa and Limatambo, provinces of La Convención and Anta.

Travel season: June to September the Salkantay trek.
