Before you start planning your trip, you should know that
there are certain times of the year that are more recommended than others for
the Salkantay hike. The best time of the year to undertake this adventure is
the dry season, between the months of May and October, May being the preferred
month, since the wet season has just ended and vegetation is still thriving. In

2. What To Bring?
For this trip, it is recommended to travel light and bring
only the strict necessary, since you will have to carry your bag on your back
for most of the way. The clothes brought must be adequate for the hike: in the
mountains, the temperature is cool during the day (between 10 and 15 degrees on
average), but the nights are very cold. It is also important to remember to
bring your personal hygiene items such as a towel, soap, toothbrush and
toothpaste, toilet paper, etc. Also bring your personal medicine to your needs,
such as pellets for altitude sickness or diachylon or dressings to treat
blisters and wounds. On

3. Altitude Sickness and How to Avoid It
It is very important to take the time to acclimatize to
altitude before embarking on a mountain hike. We recommend that travelers
arrive in Cusco 2 or 3 days before departure. Pellets for altitude sickness can
also help and are used by most hikers. It should also be well hydrated, coca
mate is also recommended. Eat light meals that are easy to digest such as
soups, vegetables, and carbohydrate-rich foods. Sleep also helps greatly in
acclimatization. In summary: keep your body warm, eat before hungry, drink
before thirsty, cover yourself before feeling cold and rest before you feel
tired
