The Mount Salkantay (6372m), whose name implies “savage”, was a Sacred Inca Mountain. As you approach this impressive mountain, you will realize the amazing trek that follows. The trek begins in the small, quaint town of Mollepata, located in the valley of the Apurimac River (90 km from Cusco). On the second day , we will arrive at the Rio Blanco valley, where we will see the imposing peaks of Umantay and Salkantay. The following day after crossing the domineering Incachiriaska pass, you will arrive at Sisaypampa, the base of the mountain from where we will begin the ascent to the Palkay pass. After this pass, it is a quick descent, passing the expansive Inca water channels, to arrive at Huayllabamba. This small town, where we will spend the evening, is located on the traditional Inca trail to Machupicchu. The last day we will continue towards Chillca, in the valley of the Vilcanota river, and return to Cusco. Alternatively, you can continue on the Inka trail. Inquire for more details.
