We begin this adventure with pickup from your hotel at 5 a.m. We’ll take approximately two hours to reach the community of Mollepata, where we’ll have our first breakfast. After breakfast, we continue by transport to Challacancha, the starting point of the trek. Here we’ll meet with the chef and muleteers to check our luggage, pack the horses, and begin the ascent to our campsite. For approximately three and a half hours, you’ll walk along the original Inca Trail Canal. The experience is unique; you’ll be immersed in nature and see the Salkantay snow-capped mountain in the distance, which is impressive at first glance. After this, we’ll arrive at our campsite where we’ll be waiting for you. You’ll receive your accommodations and lunch. You’ll have free time until we begin our trek to Humantay Lagoon, which takes approximately two hours to hike there and one hour to return. You’ll enjoy the beauty of Lake Humantay, located at the foot of the Humantay mountain. As you can imagine, it’s quite cold. Back at our camp, you’ll change into your clothes and enjoy a delicious dinner. After dinner, our guide will explain the next day’s itinerary, which can range from moderate to challenging.
