Wat je gaat doen
The Salkantay trek was named after the Salkantay mountain, also known as Salcantay or Sallqantay, in Quechua.
It is the highest peak in the Vilcabamba mountain range and is called the wild mountain. This is because the word Sallqantay means something like wild or invincible.
It has glacial mountains, lagoons and crosses the Amazon jungle, which makes it one of the most beautiful and interesting hikes in all of Peru.
