The mountains are sacred beings in Andean culture. They can protect you, but they can also punish, so we recommend that you always go with respect and a good amount of affection for them. That way, you\u2019ll feel their embrace during the trek. Pay attention to the details since Mother Earth has a lot to tell you. Do like @daisyraetravel, and open your heart to the mountains.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_792\" style=\"width: 829px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2.-@daisyraetravel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-image-792 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2.-@daisyraetravel-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Mountains and river\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: @daisyraetravel<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><strong>3.

On the path, you\u2019ll be able to discover almost 20 archeological sites which will challenge your logic. <strong>Llactapata<\/strong>,<strong> Qoriwayrachina<\/strong> and <strong>Phutupatamarka<\/strong> are just some of them.

Don&#8217;t forget to watch the sky <\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>The Milky Way was known by the Incas as Willka Mayu, or Sacred River, and there you\u2019ll see its principal constellations: the great black llama, the fox, the condor, the frog, and the shepherd, among others. Did you know that these constellations are formed by the dark parts of the sky and not by the alignment of the stars? Since you\u2019ll find yourself far away from the contamination of city lights, observe the night sky, and discover your own essence in the Andean constellations.

In spite of their adorable look, llamas don\u2019t much like human contact. They tend to have very elegant and reserved personalities. Be careful, because if they feel uncomfortable, you could receive a spit in the face. @loudreisig found this funny llama in the archeological complex of <strong>Wi\u00f1ay Wayna<\/strong>, one of the last stops before getting to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/machu-picchu\/machu-picchu-one-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Machu Picchu<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_795\" style=\"width: 829px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5.-@loudreisig.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-795\" class=\"wp-image-795 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/5.-@loudreisig-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Llamas\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: @loudreisig<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><strong>6.

This place is found on the edge of the archeological site and, although it\u2019s really small, you can find everything you need there. There are also excellent restaurants and hotels.
