This challenging trek is packed with breathtaking views of towering peaks, the bright turquoise Humantay Lake, and an incredible night spent in a glass igloo under star-filled skies. It’s the perfect, shorter alternative to the Inca Trail, offering just as much beauty and thrill without the longer time commitment.
