Day 1

Hike to Soraypampa & Humantay Lagoon

Start off by leaving the Hotel in the morning at 05:00am and travel by our private transport to Mollepata town an amazing 3 hours; we will stop at the town of Mollepata and take a break for about an hour so that people can have breakfast (not included in the price).
We can see magnificent views of the chains of snowcapped Vilcabamba, the colorful village of Mollepata and the lush Apurimac River Valley. After 45 minutes we arrive to our trailhead of Salkantay Trek in Marcoccasa (3,600m/11,811ft) head of the trail.
We start the hike around 09:00am. We start hiking with a slow climb of 250 meters for approximately 2 and a half hour through an immaculate Andean valley landscape before arriving to Soraypampa (3,800m/12,467ft). This section of the hike is dominated by Salkantay Mountain, towering 20,600 feet with a sheer and snowy face.
We continue for another hour and a half ascending up a steep path to Humantay Lagoon located at 13,700 feet (4200 meters) above sea level. After conquering the last hill, we will enjoy down on a turquoise lake, which is surrounded by steep peaks and an impressive glacier.
After relaxing and taking photos, we will descend to Soraypampa campsite where we have lunch while enjoying the breathtaking panoramic views of the snowy peaks. We drive back to Cusco and drop you off at your hotel.
Meals Included: Box-Lunch.
