Itinerary

Cusco - Mollepata - Challacancha - Soraypampa - Humantay Lake

    6 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Kickstart this journey early in the morning. You'll travel to Mollepata for breakfast and then to the starting point of the trek of Challacancha. The first trail will be a 3-hour moderate hike with fantastic valley views to our first camp in Soraypampa, where you’ll settle in your igloo.
  • Humantay Lake

    3 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    In the afternoon, you'll hike up to the iconic Humantay Lake, which is a 3-hour round trail to the top. All your efforts are rewarded as you can watch this glacier gem and Humantay Mountain from the upper parts.

    10 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    This is the most challenging day as you conquer the trek's highest point, the Salkantay Pass (4,630 m / 15,190 ft). It'll take 4 hours to reach the top, but you will be rewarded by the stunning views of Salkantay Mountain. You’ll also be able to see the surrounding peaks and have plenty of time for photoshoots. Later, you'll walk downhill to the green borders of the Cloud Forest and experience the drastic climate change between the snow peaks and the edge of the jungle. After a midway lunch, end this day at the next Campsite in Chaullay for another great dinner and sleep in the Andean Huts.

You’ll learn all about coffee, participate with the locals on harvest, and grind your grains for a cup. After the experience, a short drive takes you to Hidroelectrica train station. You can either continue the 3-hour scenic hike on the rail tracks along the Urubamba River or take the train to Aguas Calientes for an extra fee.
