Today marks a day filled with remarkable technical and geographical challenges. As they ascend to the Salkantay Pass at an altitude of 4,630 meters, overlooking both the eastern and western horizons, guests will appreciate the stunning vistas along with the satisfaction of being in close proximity to a colossal glacier. Subsequently, they will descend to lower altitudes, experiencing changes in altitude zones, ecological systems, flora, and fauna as they transition into tropical regions, eventually arriving at their next campsite at 2,750 meters above sea level.
