About Salcantay
Salcantay (Nevado Salkantay) is a mountain in Cusco, Peru, with its summit at 20,574 ft (6,271 m). Roamze has one mapped route to the top. The Camino del Salkantay route starts from Soraypampa, at about 12,700 ft, and climbs about 8,400 ft to the summit; no path is mapped for the last 7,818 ft (2,383 m), so the finish is off-trail. It is a hike, and OpenStreetMap grades the path as a mountain hiking trail. The route page shows the mapped line, the round-trip distance and the climb.
