Salkantay is a sacred mountain in the heart of the Vilcabamba range, located to the south of the famed Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. The mountain was enormously important to Andean civilizations and played a central role in their astrology and spirituality. The Andean peoples worshiped the mountains as Gods, called Apus, and Salkantay was among the most important.
The reverence shown to the Apus by the Inca is especially obvious at the world-renowned citadel of Machu Picchu. Here, the concept of “sacred geography” is reflected in the citadel’s stunning architecture and location, its alignment with the mountains and the path of the sun and the stars.
This breathtaking Peru adventure in the heart of the Vilcabamba takes you through a jaw-dropping landscape of astonishing beauty, until finally arriving at the mountaintop citadel of Machu Picchu itself. Your entire experience is supported by the best Peru trekking services available, with high quality guides, cooks and equipment to ensure that every step is comfortable and enjoyable.
The Salkantay to Machu Picchu trail is a challenging and demanding Peru trekking route which requires a good level of fitness and prior acclimatization to the altitude, preferably in Cusco. If you have any doubts of your ability to complete this trek, please consult your Travel Advisor and doctor.
