Trip Summary

Rising from the heart of the Vilcabamba mountain range, the awe-inspiring Salkantay Mountain (6,271 meters / 20,574 feet above sea level) is one of the most sacred peaks in the Andean world — a must-see destination for nature lovers and trekking enthusiasts alike. Its name in Quechua means “Savage Mountain,” a tribute to its powerful and untamed presence. Unlike the classic Inca Trail, the Salkantay Trek offers a less crowded but equally breathtaking alternative. Along the route, travelers pass through diverse ecological zones — from lush subtropical valleys to high-altitude mountain passes — with panoramic views of glaciers, turquoise lagoons like Humantay Lake, and an extraordinary variety of flora and fauna.
