23km, from 3900m to 4600m, then down to 2600m.

Day 2 was supposed to be the most beautiful scenery, but unfortunately it was cloudy. After reaching the highest point at Salkantay pass, we descended down into the jungle on the other side - into a completely different world, with hummingbirds, lush greenery and muddy paths. A bit of rain in the late afternoon wet the tents a little, but it stopped in the evening and the stars came out.
