ITINERARY

Rise and shine for this fantastic day to the stunning Humantay Lake! Your guide will pick you up at 04:30 am from your hotel. We drive for 3 hours by van to Soraypampa located in the lush valley of the Apurimac. On arrival, our chef prepares a hearty breakfast to give us fuel for the hike ahead.

We will begin ascending along a beautiful trail called the Camino Real. On this trail we gradually gain altitude, continuing further until we come across a section of steep path.

After reaching the last hill, we can gaze at the turquoise lake down below, which is surrounded by steep peaks and stunning glacier views. Trek to Peru’s most sacred mountains, which is dominated by the Salkantay peak, 20,600 ft tall, with its towering snow-capped top.

We make our way to the lakeshore, where we relax, take in the view, and have a snack. After some time at the lake, we then descend back to Soraypampa. Our talented chef serves a delectable lunch, with a breathtaking view of the panoramic landscape of Salkantay.

After a gourmet lunch, we drive back to Cusco arriving approx 6:30 pm at your hotel.

We made 4D / 3N of the Inka Trail. The experience was challenging, but it was worth it. Chef Fortunato's meals and explanations of Jony and David's places were very complete. Tmb the patience to make sure we all get there on time.

We did not get to specify the service due to the political situation in the country, however the company quickly and carefully proceeded with the return. Very good service and when the situation calms down we will resume service with them.
