Today, the ecosystem along the trek will change drastically, from barren alpine to snowy peaks to jungle areas. This will be the most difficult part of the trek. We will hike to a place called Salkantay Pampa, continuing upwards towards the face of Salkantay. By midday we will reach the highest point of the trek (15,091 ft). The views from here are literally breathtaking – not only the (20,551 ft) Salkantay but the surrounding peaks and valleys below. After trekking for a over 13 miles, we will arrive to our camp in Challway. In the evening we will rest and share dinner together.
