 The Mountain of Salkantay (6264m.s.n.m): According to some authors the name of this mountain is a contraction that comes from Salqa = sullen or wild and Antay = produce celajes or
avalanches The name of Apu is usually put before it, which in Quechua language comes to mean sir, is thus defined to the great mountains that mean something sacred above the valleys. “Apu Salcantay”
