Description

Embark on an unforgettable private adventure through the heart of the Andes and discover one of Peru’s best-kept secrets — the dazzling Inkachiriasqa Lake. Your day begins before dawn, with hotel pickup in Cusco between 3:30 and 4:00 a.m.. Relax on a scenic two-hour drive to the tranquil town of Limatambo, where a traditional hot breakfast and a warm cup of coca tea await — the perfect start to energize and prepare for the altitude. Continue your journey toward Soroycocha, making a picturesque stop at the Qoyllor Lagoon viewpoint (4,200 m / 13,780 ft). Here, you’ll have time to stretch your legs, capture breathtaking photos, and begin acclimatizing while soaking in the glacial landscapes that surround you. From Waywa Kunka, the starting point of your hike, your expert local guide will lead you through serene high-Andean trails toward the magnificent Inkachiriasqa Lake (4,600 m / 15,092 ft) — a hidden gem nestled beneath the sacred Apu Salkantay. Take your time to explore, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and marvel at the turquoise waters framed by snow-capped peaks. Afterward, descend gently back to Waywa Kunka and return to Limatambo for a well-deserved Andean lunch before your relaxing drive back to Cusco. You’ll arrive around sunset, filled with unforgettable memories and stunning photographs of this pristine Andean paradise. This private full-day tour includes round-trip transportation, professional guide, breakfast, and lunch — offering a complete, comfortable, and authentic experience in the spectacular Salkantay region.
