This unforgettable experience takes you through stunning Andean landscapes to reach the crystal-clear turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, located at the base of the majestic Salkantay Glacier.
The tour begins early from Cusco, traveling through scenic valleys and traditional villages before starting the hike to the lake. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of snow-capped mountains and experience the natural beauty of the Andes. Upon arrival, admire the vibrant colors of Laguna Humantay, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the region.
The Humantay Lake full day tour from Cusco is perfect for nature lovers and adventure seekers looking for a rewarding hike combined with spectacular scenery, all guided by experienced local professionals.
🏨 Early Morning Pick-up: We start bright and early! Our transport will pick you up carefully from your hotel in Cusco to begin the scenic drive towards Mollepata, crossing the stunning Apurimac valley.
☕ Energizing Breakfast: We make a stop for a delicious, hearty breakfast at a local restaurant in Mollepata. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and fuel up for the high-altitude hike ahead.
🏔️ Arrival at Soraypampa (3,900m): Arrive at the official trailhead. Take a moment to prepare your gear and enjoy the first breathtaking views of the majestic Salkantay (6,271m) and Humantay peaks towering above you.
🥾 The Ascent to Humantay: Begin your unforgettable 1.5 to 2-hour uphill hike. You can challenge yourself by walking at your own steady pace, or opt to rent a horse directly from locals (optional extra cost) to make the climb a bit easier.
