The Salkantay Trek is a popular hiking route in Peru that takes you from Mollepata to the citadel of Machu Picchu, through stunning mountain landscapes and valleys.
The typical duration of the Salkantay Trek is 4 days and 3 nights. However, there are also shorter and longer options available, depending on your preferences and level of fitness.
The Salkantay Trek is considered moderately difficult. It includes daily hikes of several hours on uneven terrain and high altitudes that can reach 4,600 meters above sea level at the Salkantay Pass.
The best time to do the Salkantay Trek is during the dry season, which spans the months of May, June, July, August, and September. During this period, you can expect more stable weather conditions, with less rainfall and pleasant temperatures, providing a more comfortable and enjoyable hiking experience.
Unlike other tourist attractions, special permits or quota restrictions are not required for the Salkantay Trek. However, you still need to register at the checkpoint in Mollepata before starting your hike.
