Itinerary
The tour begins by leaving your hotel between 4 and 4:30 am. We travel to the quiet town of Mollepata, and continue towards the Soraypampa valley. After breakfast and a rest, we begin the 7 km walk. (round trip) towards the lagoon, enjoying great views of the majestic Nevado Humantay (4,200 meters above sea level) from which the name of the lagoon comes.
We arrived at the charming Humantay Lagoon in an hour and a half to two hours, depending on the pace of the walk. It is considered one of the most beautiful lagoons in Cusco. Its turquoise waters adorned with snow-capped Salkantay (6,270 m) whisper directly to you the reason for its popularity. On the shores of the lagoon, the tranquility of its waters and the imposing views of the snow make it an extraordinary experience. We will also see the well-known Nevado Salkantay at the bottom of the valley, both on the way out and on the way back. We will have lunch and you will have time to rest and take many photos before heading back to Cusco.
Get ready to enjoy the unique landscape that surprises locals and tourists from all over the world!
