What is the difference between Huayna Picchu mountain and Machu Picchu mountain and how hard is their ascent and descent?

They are two mountain peaks that are strategically located and at different heights in the citadel of Machu Picchu and with totally different views. The Huayna Picchu mountain:

The Huayna Picchu mountain has some Inca constructions and is located at a height of 2,720 meters above sea level and has a duration of 1 hour and 1/2 average of ascent and descent of approximately 1 hour and is the one that appears behind Machu Picchu in its classic photographic postcard; its Inca paths built on one side of the mountain can be intimidating for people who are afraid of heights because they are steep and narrow;

The Machu Picchu mountain: The Machu Picchu mountain does not have any Inca constructions but it has a panoramic view of Machu Picchu and the entire valley and is located at a height of 3,100 meters above sea level and has a duration of 2 hours and 1/2 average of ascent and descent of 1 hour and 30 minutes, it offers less steep, wider trails.

Should I acclimatize before in Cusco to be able to do the Salkantay trek?

In general, for any trek in Cusco it is suggested to acclimatize to the surroundings of the city of Cusco; for this you should arrive in Cusco between 1 to 2 days before doing the Salkantay trek or any other tour of your choice. Remember to take into consideration the season in which you will do your excursion since the climate is mild and the temperature varies at any time; however, it is important to bring a rain poncho among your necessary accessories that you will carry in your light travel backpack if it is for the Salkantay trek.

If I am a vegetarian and I have allergies to some foods, can I do the Salkantay trek?

Of course you can do the Salkantay trek but you have to inform us before the trek so that the cook can take precautions before preparing the food. That is why before your trek we have an informative meeting at the Okidoki office.

Tips

Culture and nature of Machupicchu – Peru Travel:

Machupicchu is a World Heritage Site in its two dimensions, cultural and natural. In the cultural field, Machupicchu is an important legacy of the Inca culture and its way of “doing” both at an urban, artistic, architectural, engineering and landscape level. Observing and overcoming vulnerabilities derived from the geography of the territorial enclave allowed it to occupy the place maintaining harmony with the landscape – Cusco – Peru.

Today, the culture of the place transcends the archaeological legacy and moves to the dynamics of its consolidation as the main tourist destination in Peru that travel to Machupicchu to discover. First, its economy based on service operators (travel and tourism agencies in Peru) and transport companies on which access depends (Travel to Machupicchu by train, Travel to Machupicchu by car) and which, therefore, work on a monopoly model in Peru Operator. Second, the presence of a significant percentage of floating population and a permanent population, responsible for providing travel services, which is constantly growing due to migration from neighboring rural areas. Third, the synthesis of regional and national cultural plurality that is sold and consumed under the idea and image of Machupicchu (Travel Agency Operator).

Finally, the accelerated wear and saturation of services and infrastructure (such as the case of the management and transfer of garbage) product of the occupation of tourists and residents, which has a negative impact on the territory and its environmental quality. In the natural aspect, Machupicchu is located at a meeting point between the Andes and the Amazon, constituting an area of high biodiversity, of worldwide importance. Due to its geography and climate, it is configured as an area with characteristics of “jungle eyebrow”, despite being located within the Andes Mountains. This peculiarity creates an ecosystem with a great variety of endemic flora and fauna. The Natural vegetation includes a large number of tree and shrub species, as well as tree ferns, orchids, bromeliads and mosses.

For the inhabitants of the Andes (Cusco – Peru), the reverence for the apus, sacred mountains, converted into local protectors, did not go unnoticed in time, thus, mountains such as Salkantay, among others that surround it, assume an important role in the Andean cosmovision. For example, the snowy Waqay Willke (5720 masl), within the traditional symbology of Andean dual thought, is considered the complement of Salkantay, which is one of the most powerful and active deities of the place, it is also appreciated by the inhabitants, the father of all the mountains in the region and even today it is the object of great veneration, which is why Machupicchu and Choquechurco maintain intimate visual contact with Salkantay and other snow-capped mountains of the Vilcabamba chain.

Location of the area to Salkantay: It has a political and road pre-Hispanic road Mollepata – Abra Salkantay – Santa Teresa, interconnects the provinces of Anta and La Convencion, specifically the districts of Mollepata and Santa Teresa respectively. The beginning of the secondary road to Chinchaysuyu is in the province of Anta, district of Mollepata. Salkantay Access Routes: Access to the Mollepata – Salkantay – Santa Teresa pre-Hispanic road has two entry points: by carriageway and bridle path. Access through the district of Mollepata is through a paved road that goes uphill, the same one that leaves the diversion of the asphalted trunk road Cusco – Abancay, approximately 11km from the town of Limatambo (Province of Anta).

Access to the beach area (Santa Teresa) is facilitated through two travel routes: the highway and/or the railway line. The first part of the detour of the Cusco – Quillabamba highway, in the town of Santa María, where the highway begins until the District of Santa Teresa; It continues through a carriageway to the Poblado Playa Center, upstream from the Santa Teresa ravine, heading south. The second access is through the railway that reaches the Machupicchu Hydroelectric Power Plant, continuing from there through a dirt track to the District of Santa Teresa and from there to the Populated Center of Playa (22 km).

For the conservation of this important Machu Picchu monument, maintenance tasks are carried out on the architectural structures, contemporary structures (handrails, stairs, signage, coverage and others of Machu Picchu) and the treatment of floors. In turn, within the SHM-PANM, there is an extensive road network of more than 300 kilometers, which articulates more than 60 archaeological monuments. Every year, according to the SHM-PANM Machu Piccho Master Plan, the conservation of 20 of the monuments and 76 kilometers of Inka trail is carried out, distributed in the following routes:
