    After breakfast, we set off again for the Salkantay Pass (4600m), which offers exceptional views of the snow-capped Salkantay Peak (6264m). This will be the hardest morning of the trek, and well worth the effort. A stop at the summit is possible, weather permitting. The hike continues downhill, as we leave the high mountains behind and enter an ecosystem of lush vegetation. Arriving at Chaullay (2950m), we enjoy dinner and spend our second night in this camp.

    Day 3 will be devoted to observing the flora and plantations of the region. We first descend into a rainforest, where we appreciate the incredible diversity of orchids, Bromeliads and many other plants. We then pass through the region's coffee and fruit plantations. We'll also have the pleasure of meeting peasant families along the way, notably at Wiñaypoco (2650m) and La Playa (2100m). We arrive at our camp in La Playa in time for lunch. This will also be our campsite for the night, so you'll have the afternoon to relax and discover local life.
