Hi everyone, I've been guiding the Salkantay trek for years and I've noticed that many people underestimate the importance of proper acclimatization. We're talking about a 4-day hike with over 4,600 meters of gain, so it's essential to take it slow and let your body adjust. If you're planning to tackle this trail, start thinking about your itinerary at least 2-3 days before the actual hike, and consider adding an extra day in Aguas Calientes to rest and recover - trust me, your body will thank you!
