Andean Moments

Where the Trail Begins

Where the Trail Begins

The first steps out of Mollepata, with Salkantay's snow-capped summit already visible on the horizon.

Crossing Abra Salkantay

Crossing Abra Salkantay

At 4,650 meters, this is the highest point of the trek -- cold, windswept, and unforgettable.

Turquoise at 4,200 Meters

Turquoise at 4,200 Meters

A short detour brings you face to face with Humantay Lake, glacier water in a color that barely looks real.

Horses That Carry the Camp

Horses That Carry the Camp

Muleteers and their horses haul the tents, kitchen and duffels from camp to camp, so you hike with just a daypack.

The Climb to Humantay

The Climb to Humantay

Trekkers and pack horses share the same trail, climbing steadily toward the lake's turquoise basin.

First Night at Soraypampa

First Night at Soraypampa

The first camp sits in a green valley right below Salkantay's ice, at nearly 3,900 meters.

Trekking Beneath the Glaciers

Trekking Beneath the Glaciers

Salkantay's icy summit towers over the trail for most of the first two days.

A Reward Worth the Altitude

A Reward Worth the Altitude

After the climb, the lagoon's still water mirrors the mountains -- the kind of view that makes the altitude worth it.
