DAY 02: RUMI WASI CAMP - SALKANTAY PASS (4630M) - CUSCO.

Afterwards it is time to start hiking to the highest point of the Salkantay trail which is 4630 m.a.s.l. which takes around 3 hours of uphill hiking with a regular and slow pace.

The views are beautiful and magical. The guide patiently explained everything to us and took lots of photos. We entered quickly and without any problems. It was an incredible and beautiful experience that I will always remember.

We had a fantastic tour with Adriel on the Classic Sacred Valley tour. I highly recommend it! It was an amazing day. We learned a lot and saw some of the most beautiful places. The scenery was spectacular.

Great tour and great guide! Very informative and we were able to see a lot of Cusco in a very short amount of time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone thinking about taking a tour.
