Humantay Lake
Later, start the Trek with an hour and a half ascending to the Humantay lake (4230m / 13,878 ft). After enjoying this, start our way back to Soraypmapa by the same trail.
Once we arrive at Soraypmapa will have our lunch and see more trekkers of the traditional Salkantay Trek. Once we finish the lunch, continue our ascent hike by 2 hours more to our basecamp located at Salkantay Pampa at (4200m / 13,780 ft).
Finally, after a relax we are going to have a tea time and an explanation about the Andean constellations also will show you in the sky some of them if the weather allows, all it before our dinner and to go bed.
Note: This day we leave early to anticipate the big groups, because after 8:00 am lots of groups arrive and the places are crowded.
