DETAILED ITINERARY

DAY 01: CUSCO – SORAYPAMPA – HUMANTAY LAKE – DOMES IN SORAYPAMPA

Our hike will begin early in the morning. Our team will come to pick you up directly from your hotel in Cusco. From Cusco, we will head to Soraypampa, the base camp of Salkantay Mountain. The ride will take approximately 3.5 hours.

In Soraypampa, we will grab breakfast before beginning our hike. Temperatures at this campsite will be chilly, so make sure you are bundled up. After breakfast, we will begin our hike to Humantay Lake. This will be a moderate to challenging hike due to the altitude changes and ascending terrain. It will be approximately 1.5  hours of hiking along steep terrain to Humantay Lake, where we will enjoy the views of the crystalline blue waters and towering mountain tops.

We will return to Soraypampa for an overnight glamping experience under the stars.

DAY 02: SORAYPAMPA – SALKANTAY PASS – SALKANTAY LAKE – SORAYPAMPA

After breakfast, we will continue ascending to the highest point of the trail, Salkantay Pass (4,600 m.a.s.l./15,090 ft.a.s.l.). The pass will be one of the most beautiful sights of the trail, surrounded by man-made apachetas left by previous hikers and travellers alike. At this spot, we will take our time to truly take in the landscapes of this truly savage, snowy giant.

Continuing a detour, we will hike to the turquoise waters of Salkantay Lake. Majestically hidden in the ruggedness of the mighty Apu Salkantay, this lake is sure to offer serene landscapes of pristine essence.

Our return will be to Soraypampa, along the same trail. This will all be in descent and will have us back at the trailhead for lunch.  From Soraypampa, we will board our private transportation back to Cusco.
