04:30 - 8:30: Pick up from Hotel - Transportation to Mollepata and Breakfast
The adventure begins very early with our team picking you up from your hotel at 4:30 hrs and heading to a small village called Mollepata (2,803 m /9,186ft) about 2 -hour-drive. Here we will enjoy a delicious breakfast with a great view of the Apurimac Canyon in order to be ready for the hike.
09:00 - 12:00 : Soraypampa -Trekking to Humantay
After the breakfast we continue one more hour to the local community of Soraypampa (3800m/12,467). After receiving a short briefing and get ready, we will begin our hike up to the Humantay Lake (4,200 m/ 13,780). passing through stunning landscapes and with the possibility, if the sky is clear enough, to see the impressive ”Apus” (”spirits of the mountains”) Salkantay and Humantay. It takes about a 1,5 hours to reach the lake, with a low to moderate difficulty, 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. Once at the lagoon we will have enough time to take pictures, bring an offer to the Apus.

After some free time and rest, we will begin our descent to Soraypampa for about another 1.5 hours, which is much easier than the way up. In Soraypampa and continue to Mollepata where we will have a well-deserved buffet lunch and after some rest we start making our way back to Cusco arriving at 5 p.m. approximately.
