Experience the magic of the Andes with an early start from your hotel, embarking on a scenic drive lasting about 2 hours until we reach the charming Mollepata Village. Here, indulge in a delightful breakfast to fuel your day ahead. Our journey continues to Soraypampa, the starting point for the Salkantay Trek and our gateway to adventure. As we ascend, be captivated by breathtaking views, with the possibility of glimpsing the towering Apus: Salkantay and Humantay, if the skies permit.
The trek to the lake takes approximately an hour and a half, offering a moderate yet rewarding challenge. The sight of the emerald waters nestled amidst the serene landscape is truly enchanting, a picturesque scene worthy of admiration. For those seeking a more leisurely experience, horse rentals are available to accompany the journey. Take ample time to capture the beauty through your lens, offer your respects to the Apus, and perhaps even take a refreshing dip in the lake, weather permitting.
After immersing yourself in this enriching experience, we will begin the descent back to Soraypampa. There, a comforting lunch awaits to recharge your energy. With your mind and spirit revitalized, we bid farewell to this serene landscape and embark on our return journey to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 PM.
