Itinerary

Day 1

Ausangate traveled to the south, where he found food and sent to Cusco, while Salkantay went north where he had a better destiny, he found food that he sent to Cusco and also love in the goddess Veronica. However, this romance did not have a happy ending since the 2 brothers had to return to the city of Cusco to stop the drought that hit their town and for that reason they became Nevados again.The sadness and crying of the Apu Salkantay gave rise to the beautiful Laguna de Humantay with turquoise waters, surrounded by beautiful mountains and snow-capped peaks.

On this day we will pick you up between 4:00 and 4:30 am from your hotel to start the tour, taking you to the town of Mollepata, in the exuberant valley of the Apurimac River. After a well-deserved breakfast to fill us with energy, we will continue our trip to Soraypampa (3900 m.a.s.l.) and after a short break, we will begin our walk to the Humantay Lagoon, located at 4200mt 13779 feet. After an ascent of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes we will witness the wonderful view, and we will have some free time for photographs. We will then return to our camp to have our lunch, with a spectacular panoramic view surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and later we will be transported to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 18:00 hrs.
