Descrizione

Ascend over 4000 meters to admire the stunning Humantay Lake, an extraordinary trekking adventure nestled in the majestic Andes!

Hike to Humantay Lake

Following your hotel pickup at the designated time, we will embark on a bus journey toward the Humantay Lagoon, a breathtaking gem situated within the Andean mountains.

Our initial stop occurs in the Mollepata settlement, located at nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, where we will pause to savor a nourishing breakfast, the perfect way to energize for the day!

Continuing our exploration through this remarkable Peruvian region, we will reach the Soraypampa camp, situated at 3,900 meters. Here, we will commence our trek to the Humantay Lagoon, a turquoise oasis embraced by the towering glaciers of the mountain range.

The hike spans approximately 2 hours and elevates us to 4,200 meters, where we can marvel at the diverse local flora and fauna. The effort will reward you with an awe-inspiring vista, unmatched anywhere in Peru.

After spending an hour in this enchanting environment, we will retrace our steps back to Soraypampa, where we will board the bus bound for Mollepata, to enjoy a well-earned buffet lunch.

Finally, we will return to Cusco, concluding our 13-hour journey with a drop-off at Regocijo Square.

  • Historical center of Cusco (San Blas neighborhood, Calle Nueva Alta, Saphi, Ruins, Matara, San Pedro, Av. Sol, Tullumayu, and Huascar).
  • Santa Ana (limited to the area around the Temple of Santa Ana).

What Altitudes Will We Reach During the Hike?

  • The Humantay hike starts at 3875 meters (12,700 feet)
  • The halfway resting place is at 4125 meters (13,500 feet)
  • Humantay Lake is about 4200 meters above sea level (13,800 feet)

Is the Hike Difficult?

To do this activity, you need to be in good physical shape, as walking at this altitude can be quite difficult.

Important Info

If you prefer, you can rent a horse on site (this costs between 80PEN and 90PEN) to avoid having to walk up. This will only be possible for the outward journey, so it'll be necessary to walk back down.

What is Altitude Sickness?

It's impossible to know in advance how our body will react to altitude. Some people may experience headaches or nausea. It's advisable to do this activity after at least 2 or 3 days in the Cusco area since you'll have acclimatized a bit to the altitude.
