How difficult is the 4d Salkantay trek going to be? 😥😥😥
Well, truth be told, the Salkantay is NOT an easy trek.

➡️Altitude: 4600 mts
➡️Distance: 47 km
➡️Time: 4 days
➡️Average hike: 7hrs per day

No matter which itinerary you choose, the Salkantay trek is far from easy. We don’t consider it to be the hardest trek in the Cusco area, but the long days, steep ascents and descents and the high altitude make both routes difficult.

😌But no worries! In this post, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the Salkantay trek’s difficulty, what to expect on the trail, and how to prepare👇👇
