Le trek du Salkantay concerne le col du Salkantay. Ces 4580 m de dénivelé sont le point culminant du circuit et l’une des raisons pour lesquelles le trek du Salkantay n’est pas facile. Le trek du Salkantay a été nommé d’après la montagne du Salkantay, également connue sous le nom de Salcantay ou Sallqantay, en quechua. C’est le plus haut sommet de la chaîne de montagnes de Vilcabamba et on l’appelle la montagne sauvage. C’est parce que le mot Sallqantay signifie quelque chose comme sauvage, non civilisé ou invincible. Le circuit est conçu pour le tourisme, ce qui signifie que toutes les personnes ayant une condition physique modérée sont capables de le faire.
