Itinerary
Day 01 Cusco – Mollepata – Soraypampa – Humantay Lake – Cusco
The Humantay Lake Tour 1 Day – Laguna Humantay Cusco begins with hotel pickup in Cusco at 04:30 AM. We will drive towards Mollepata, located at more than 3,000 meters above sea level, where you will enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast.
Afterward, we continue to Soraypampa, passing through valleys, gorges, and scenic Andean landscapes, the starting point of our trek. From here, the ascent to Humantay Lake begins, located at 4,250 meters above sea level. The hike takes approximately 1.5 hours, with gradual elevation gain.
Once at Humantay Lake, you will explore its turquoise waters, admire the snowcapped Salkantay Mountain, and take incredible photos. You will also enjoy the peaceful energy of this natural wonder.
After spending time at the lake, we descended to Soraypampa to take our transport back to Mollepata, where we will have lunch before returning to Cusco. Arrival in the city is around 6:30 PM. This day tour offers the perfect combination of trekking, nature, and one of the most famous turquoise lakes in Peru.

The tour starts very early type 3-4 am, how good you can sleep on the way, we breakfast in a very good buffet and then depart for the mountain. Here the height is the problem, you can walk up but it requires a lot of condition, the good thing is that there are horses that you can pay and for 90 suns they leave you 15-20 minutes from the top. Wear layered clothes as you can warm up when climbing. We already walk down and the road is much easier. On horseback you go up in 40 minutes, you are on the mountain an hour to take pictures and the return is about 1 hour or so. In the end we still had lunch in the same very rich buffet!

I liked the Service and attention I received, plus the quality of the guide who touched us to know the sacred valley on the way to Machu Picchu was first class, with extensive knowledge of the Inca culture and with very good explanation, I highly recommend them.

What a beautiful place!!! Most of us went up there on mules. Important to clarify if the person weighs more than 110 kg he will not be able to carry it and will have to walk up . . . It is still very expensive, to have proper footwear
