Salkantay treks highlights

One of the most intense points is the Abra Salkantay, which is located at 4,650 meters above sea level. From there, you will have breathtaking views of the snow-capped Salkantay, one of the most sacred mountains for the Incas. The feeling of being there, in silence, among snow-capped peaks, is something that is hard to put into words.

But not everything is altitude. As you advance, the road descends into the rainforest, where the climate is warmer, the vegetation becomes denser and the environment changes completely. You will sleep in campsites or ecolodges surrounded by nature, with starry skies and sunrises worth every step.
