You can find spectacular landscapes with exotic flora and fauna. Along this hiking adventure, you will come across beautiful valleys, snow-capped mountains, and one of the most important and sacred lakes.
Full Day
Humantay Lake is located northwest of the city of Cusco, at an approximate altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. For this reason, the route to reach it involves a moderately difficult hike. This lake, located in the Andean highlands at the foot of the majestic Humantay snow-capped mountain, dazzles with the turquoise hue of its clear waters and is recognized as one of the most beautiful and revered in the Cusco region.
Access to the lake is through the town of Mollepata, where an entrance fee is paid that allows you to continue to the Soraypampa campsite, the starting point to the lake. During the visit, in addition to enjoying the spectacular landscapes, travelers can participate in activities such as hikes around the area, observation of the natural surroundings, and traditional offerings to Pachamama.
Although it is possible to visit Humantay Lake at any time of the year, the rainy season usually has fewer tourists, which can offer a quieter and more peaceful experience.
The tour to Humantay Lake is a must-do adventure for those visiting the imperial city of Cusco. Located in the Andes mountain range, this glacial lake stands out for its stunning turquoise waters, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and peaceful scenery.
This destination is ideal for trekking enthusiasts, nature lovers, and photography fans. Throughout the ascent, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Salkantay snow-capped peak and feel the energy of the mountains and the apus, sacred beings of the Andean worldview.

Mi viaje a Panamá fue sorprendente. No tuve que pensar en nada: desde los traslados hasta los tours, todo estaba coordinado al milímetro. Qué tranquilidad poder enfocarme solo en disfrutar, sin correr ni improvisar. Así deberían ser todos los viajes.
