An internet café, Hostal Denny, offers an internet satellite uplink as well a satellite telephone. (Telephone cards must be purchased in advance.) There are 8 radio communication centres that can communicate with Pilcopata, Paurcartambo, Cusco and Lima.

Salvacion has 2 hospitals (one private and one state owned), a well-stocked pharmacy and 4 alternative health posts in the local area. There is an ambulance service that runs to the Manu Learning Centre and doctors can provide emergency call outs.

Salavacion sells a variety of common goods at high prices and can source specific items from Cusco, although it is recommended to source materials through the Manu Learning Centre.

Cargo trucks, buses and local pick-up trucks pass through Salvacion (albeit with no consistency) and individuals may be able to secure transport services to Cusco although we recommend that visitors pre-book all transport requirements through CREES at least two weeks in advance.

There are 3 hostels in Salvacion that range in price and quality and generally have vacancies.
