Highlights
Combine the famous Humantay Lake and the Salkantay Pass on this 2-day epic hike through the wild Andean mountains. The first day is to beat a scenic trail to beautiful Humantay Lake, drift off from a glass-toped igloo, and stargaze at the sky. The next day is to crown the pass as you hike to the foot of the imposing Salkantay Mountain at more than 4,600 meters. After the effort, tasty meals await you to round off the trip with spectacular views.
