What worries you is not that? We understand, <b>you don&#8217;t know which Salkantay Trek<\/b> to do.

From this last point you depart to Soraypampa and then to <b>Humantay Lake at 4.200 meters<\/b>. The second day is the hardest because you reach the highest point of the trail, <b>the Salkantay Passage<\/b>. You are probably wondering <b>at what altitude is the Salkantay Passage<\/b>, well, at 4.615 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/salkantay-trek-profile.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Salkantay Trek in outline\" title=\"Salkantay Trek in scheme\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third day on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/salkantay-trek-5-days\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salkantay Trek 5 days<\/a> is quiet: 12 kilometers and no variations in altitude that compete with the 22 kilometers of the Salkantay Trek 4 days.
