Salkantay Trek

Curated schematic from named OpenStreetMap nodes (ODbL). The line is pin-to-pin, not a walking path. 2-D length is labelled schematic — not walking distance. Ascent, descent, and high/low points are Copernicus GLO-30 samples at those vertices only (copernicus-dem:glo-30) and remain provisional. Water, permits, and hazards were not taken from OSM tags and must be verified.

No single connected Salkantay Trek hiking relation resolved (Nominatim 2026-08-25: named ways Camino del Salkantay, no parent; rechecked 2026-09-09). Geometry is an ordered pin-to-pin line through OSM-resolved named nodes: Soraypampa → Abra Salkantay → Collpapampa → Lucmabamba → Hidroeléctrica → Machupicchu Pueblo. 2-D length 41.2 km is schematic — not walking distance. Published ~70–78 km / 4–6 days are cross-checks only, not this DataPoint. osmRelationId is unset. Never graduate to verified without a single connected OSM hiking relation.

Mollepata is an administrative boundary in OSM (relation 1925141), not a place node, and was not used as a pin. Huayracmachay did not resolve. Santa Teresa village was omitted so the pin line does not jog off the Hidroeléctrica approach.

typicalDays 5 is the recognised typical 4–6 day window — typical, not an official duration statute. That stamp is not this DataPoint. bestSeason is left unverified (a dry-season window is widely described; it was not copied from an official SERNANP statute this pass).

GLO-30 high 4,619 m is the Abra Salkantay guidepost pin on a 6-vertex sample, not a walking profile. High point left as Copernicus, not overwritten with an unsourced pass elevation. Cumulative DEM ascent 980 m is an under-count versus published walking gain; do not treat it as that figure.

Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points (no honest atFraction). Streams and camps exist on published descriptions; they were not positioned from an official named list this pass.
