Explore the magic of Humantay Lake in Cusco, one of the best adventure experiences in Peru! This beautiful lake is located in the Cusco region, at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. This route also serves as the gateway for adventurers taking the Salkantay Trek, a 5-day journey to Machu Picchu. This crystal-clear lake is the perfect spot to enjoy an unforgettable adventure. At the lake, you’ll have the chance to admire its stunning turquoise waters from a nearby viewpoint and enjoy the spectacular scenery.

In this program, we will pick you up at 4:00 a.m. to visit one of Cusco’s new tourist circuits: Humantay Lake, a natural attraction located in the town of Soraypampa. Previously, only those on the Salkantay trek would visit it, but it has now become one of the most popular destinations for travelers. A visit to Humantay Lake takes no more than one day. The hike is moderately challenging if you are acclimated to Cusco’s altitude, and the reward for your effort will be the breathtaking view of this turquoise-colored lake.
