Where you can get ready with last minute supplies or anything that you have forgotten in the city (water, rain poncho, insect repellent, etc). Once the riders have taken the big packages and we have purchased all the supplies at the last minute, it is time to begin the journey.
The greater part of the journey in this first day is just walking down the road that leads up to Soraypampa. The views are breathtaking and the trail once in a while takes a shortcut steep through the grass of a cow, the scent of eucalyptus will invade the exit of Mollepata and you dive deeper and deeper in the open valleys that dominate this section of the Andes, and it feels amazing to breathe in the thin air of the mountain and slowly slid back in the middle of nowhere.
Soraypampa es un lugar muy surrealista, ya que hay un salkantay lodge, tambien pocas familias, y solo 4 o 5 familias que alquilan campings. Desde este punto podremos ver la montaña Salkantay and around 4:30pm we will be in Soraypampa, which is 3,500 mts (20,671 pies).

From the pass, the views of both snow-capped mountains are amazing. There will also be a possibility of snow here. At this point we will have a small ceremony.
This ceremony is known as Payment to the Earth or Pachamama ( Jaywarikuy ), in which we leave some coca leaves in the rocks to Mother Earth to ask for permission to continue and have an amazing trip and a memorable one.
We will continue our walk downhill through a beautiful cloud forest and arrive at Huayracpunku, where we have lunch.
We walked again after lunch in the direction of the jungle until we reach our second campsite, Colcapampa (3,000 mts / 9,800 ft). Another possible place to camp would be in Challway .

The road is less demanding with a climate is generally warm. Almuerzaremos on the road, and as we journey, we will enjoy more of the valley around us. Eventually we arrive at Santa Teresa, which is our next camp.
After a rest and refreshments to help us recover our strength, we have the option of visiting the hot springs local and test the water well deserved and relaxing, A real treat after walking all day!.
After breakfast, we continue our journey to walk another 3 hours to get to Hidroelectrica. The trail ends at the old coffee plantation Mandorpampa and enter into the cloud forest, following the sacred river for about an hour and a half until we see the waterfalls of the Hidroelectrica. These falls are about twelve feet high and are fed by the crystal clear waters of the melting of the sacred mount Yanantin.
From the falls, the trail continues up the ridge, before being lost in the vegetation becoming more dense. This is a beautiful landscape and fertile, with plantations of coffee, banana and avocado, which abound in the forest, and wilderness areas, which are the natural habitat of mammals such as the spectacled bear, and hundreds of species of birds and butterflies, some of them endemic to the region.
