Salkantay trek of 4 days and 3 nights is a great adventure that will allow you to appreciate Andean and lush green mountains (Cloud forest), streams, rivers and hot springs that will help you relax your body after the physically taxing walk. You can also feel the temperature change along the hiking mountain paths of the tour of Salkantay.

Itinerary
Early morning pick up (5AM) from your hotel or Air BnB within Cusco city. The drive itself is most interesting as we have amazing views of the mountains as we drive along, also passing through a few indigenous villages and cornfields en route to the trailhead. The drive to Soraypampa is about 3 hours so we will arrive to our exclusive Biodomes Campsite at Soraypampa where you can take a hot shower in one of our private hot shower after you will have a buffet breakfast at our Dinning Dome having the majestic view of the Salkantay and Humantay snowy mountains, and we will be starting our hike at an elevation of 3800 meters/12,460 feet The uphill hike is 1½ to 2 hours, with your guide pointing out the various flora and fauna along the way, perhaps stopping for a postcard-perfect shot of the snow-capped peaks here and there.
At the top is the treasure! Magnificent Blue Lagoon, a very special shade of deep turquoise with snow-capped Humantay glacial mountain in the background! Of course, descent is usually a bit quicker than your initial climb, and when we get back to our Bio domes Campsite at Soraypampa, we’ll have a nice lunch prepared to reward you! With our hearts and bellys full, we’ll start our 3-hour return to Cusco in our private van.
