A detail

Our package starts very early in the morning, picking up passengers directly from the comfort of their accommodation in Cusco to begin the journey toward Mollepata, where they will enjoy breakfast (not included) before continuing to Challacancha. From this point, they will begin their trek to Soraypampa, an ideal section to test physical endurance and adapt to the altitude right before arriving at the Bio Domes camp, located in front of the Salkantay and Humantay snow-capped mountains. There, the reception staff will welcome them with an exquisite welcome lunch. After enjoying some free time to rest, they will prepare for a light trek to Humantay Lake at 4,200 meters (13,780 feet) above sea level, where they will see its beautiful turquoise color and the surrounding snow-capped peaks. Afterward, they will return to the camp to have dinner under the stars and rest in total comfort, thanks to their Domes equipped with a private bathroom and hot water shower.

The next day, after a nutritious breakfast that will provide the necessary energy, they will face the great challenge of the route: the gradual ascent through the famous 7 Serpents Path until conquering the impressive Salkantay Pass at 4,638 meters (15,213 feet) of altitude, with incredible views of the snow-capped mountain. Finally, you will descend past Soyrococha back to Soraypampa. Along the way, they will enjoy a distant view of the mystical snow-covered stone forest, until reaching their Bio Domes camp to celebrate the effort with a delicious lunch before starting the transfer back to the city of Cusco, arriving at approximately 18:00.

FAQs

When is the best time to visit Cusco?

Cusco can be visited year-round. However, if you want to travel during the best season, we recommend going between April and October. Rainfall probability during these months is low, making the mountains look more majestic and bathed in bright sunshine.

What important details should I know about this 2D/1N Tour?

To avoid altitude sickness, it is necessary to acclimatize by arriving in Cusco 2 or 3 days before the trek. If you are already coming from a high-altitude area, you should spend at least one full day in the city to rest and recover from the journey before starting the expedition.

What important details should I know about the Bio Domes?

These are the most important details to keep in mind when staying at the Bio Domes included in the package:

ABOUT THE PRIVATE DOMES: These luxury domes function as private mountain rooms, including their own en-suite bathroom and a hot shower system to guarantee maximum comfort.

ABOUT THE GLAMPING AREA: This base camp features an exclusive reception team that welcomes travelers upon arrival to assist with check-in and provide a welcome lunch.

ABOUT THE AMENITIES PROVIDED: WiFi access is available hourly, exclusively in the dining area. Additionally, we feature charging stations for electronic devices, although the power supply shuts off during the night.

ABOUT THE INCLUDED MEALS: The stay features a professional mountain chef in charge of preparing all daily menus (included in the experience), as well as an interactive live Ceviche Show within the facilities (included).

ARE THEY PET- FRIENDLY? This accommodation restricts the entry of pets due to high-mountain weather conditions, extreme altitude, and local wildlife protection regulations that prevent their stay.

Rates are not valid for holiday long weekends, such as New Year’s, Easter (Semana Santa), National Holidays (Fiestas Patrias), among others.

How far in advance can I make a reservation?

A minimum of 3 months before your scheduled travel date and/or subject to dome availability at the camp. If your arrival date falls during Cusco’s high season, you must book at least 4 months in advance.

Do I need to carry an ID during the tours?

Yes, it is essential for all participants to carry a valid ID, Foreign Resident Card (Carnet de Extranjería), or Passport during the tour. Entrance tickets can only be purchased physically on the day of the tour by presenting the document at the attraction’s ticket office.
