Stop: 60 minutes ·Admission includedThe admission fee is included in the tour package at no extra cost.
- We will travel until the town of Mollepata, where breakfast will be served. We will then make our way to Soraypampa (3850m altitude), which is the location of the campsite for the first day of the popular Salkantay trek to Machu Picchu. We will then start our hike up to Humantay Lake (4200m altitude, passing through stunning landscapes and if the sky is clear enough will see the impressive ‘Apus’ (‘spirits of the mountains’) Salkantay and Humantay. It takes approximately 1.5 hours to reach the lake, with moderate difficulty due to the altitude and the steepness of the ascent, but it will be more than rewarding once we arrive at this natural beauty.
- It is also possible to rent a horse in case you don’t feel like hiking all the way up.
