This day our cook will wake us up for a coca leaves tea at 06:00 am, and after our delicious
breakfast, we begin the walk in order to reach the highest point of the route, which is 7 km
away. We will do this in approximately 4 hours.

This second day will be the most arduous day of the entire Trek. We begin our walk uphill
from Soraypampa, with a gradual slope for 1 hour and 30 minutes along the Salkantay Valley,
until reaching the area known as Salkantaypampa, at 4,200 meters above sea level, where
we will take a short break. After this break, we will climb through a rocky valley and continue
along a challenging trail of pure ascent, known as the “7 Snakes” for 2 hours and 30 minutes
until the highest point of our route, the impressive Salkantay Pass, located above 4,630
m.a.s.l. From there we can appreciate spectacular views of the mountains and impressive
snow-capped peaks such as the magnificent Salkantay Mountain (6,271 meters above sea
level / 20,574 feet) and Humantay (5,400 m.a.s.l. / 17,716 ft.) and views of other snowies peaks.
We will have enough time to stay and rest in the open, take unforgettable photos and enjoy
the landscape. The Salkantay Mountain is the second highest in the region.

We will continue with our excursion and we will have the way back, we will go down for 2
hours and 30 minutes until we return to Soraypampa; on the way we will observe the great
stone forest and continue descending until reaching our Eco-Lodge, to have a delicious
lunch prepared by our chef. After a good rest and a restorative lunch, we board our
transportation back to Cusco City. The estimated time of arrival is 6:00 pm.
