Departing very early in the morning from the hotel located in the city of Cusc, we will take a transport for a 2-hour journey until reach the town of Mollepata, a place to enjoy a short rest and buy what you need.

The Salkantay trekking continues until reach Challacancha, starting point of a hike of two hours and a half until reach Soraypampa at 3,800 meters above sea level. Here, the campsite is made up of igloos with transparent roofs so you can admire the starry sky during the night.

After enjoying a lovely picnic, we are going to visit the Humantay Lagoon, starting a trek of one hour and a half one way, and the same time to come back. You can make a mystical offer to the mountains with coca leaves to ask protection during the trip. The Lake Humantay is located at 4,200 meters above sea level, and it has amazing views to the Salkantay peaks. Its clear waters create a unique landscape, and if you are brave you can take a bath here.

We will back to the campsite at Soraypampa to rest and enjoy the first dinner together, and spend the night. Walking distance: 8.08 miles.
