Your adventure begins with an early pickup between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. from your hotel in Cusco. After a 2 hour scenic drive, we’ll stop in Mollepata for a freshly prepared breakfast before continuing to Challacancha (3,800 m), the official starting point of the Salkantay Trek.

We begin a 3 hour hike to the Soraypampa base camp (3,900 m), where a nutritious lunch awaits. In the afternoon, we hike for about 1.5 hours to the stunning Humantay Lake, one of the most iconic highlights of the Andes. Along the trail, enjoy breathtaking views of the Humantay and Salkantay Mountains, vibrant landscapes, and seasonal colors.

Your expert local trekking guide will share stories, history, and cultural insights. You will also have free time to explore and capture photos of this turquoise glacial lake. We return to Soraypampa to enjoy a warm cup of coca tea followed by a delicious dinner prepared by our trekking chef.
