Cusco to Soraypampa and Trek to Humantay Lake
After we pick you up at your hotel, we will start our adventure to Humantay Lake with a 4-hour drive in private transport to Soraypampa (3850 m.a.s.l.). Soraypampa is the campsite for the first day of the Salkantay trek. There, we will enjoy a delicious breakfast before beginning our trek.
From Soraypampa, we will start our trek up to Humantay Lake (4200 m.a.s.l.), surrounded by beautiful views. If the sky is clear enough, we can see the impressive snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay peaks. It is a 1.5-hour walk to the lake with low to moderate difficulty, and it is more than worth it when you see the magical view. It is also possible to rent a horse instead.
We will have enough time to take pictures, bring an offer to the Apus, and, for the truly brave, go swimming in the lake when it is sunny.
After some free time, we will start our descent to Soraypampa, which takes about 1.5 hours and is much easier than the way up.
In Soraypampa, lunch will be waiting for us.
Then, after some rest, we will return to Cusco, where we will arrive at 6 p.m.
