Hike to Laguna Humantay - 1 day
Description
Hotel pick-up - transportation to start point : We will pick you up from your hotel between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. to start a trip to Mollepata, where we will stop for breakfast (not included). Then we will continue to Soraypampa. Climbing the lagoon: Here you will begin the 1 hour and 30 minute walk to the Humantay Lagoon. The walk is physically demanding, so it is important to be prepared. At the start of the hike, temperatures are cold, so it is necessary to bring warm clothes and hiking shoes.

Arrival at Humantay Lagoon: At the end of the ascent you can enjoy some time to rest, appreciate the lagoon and take pictures. Descent, lunch and return to Cusco: We start descending back to the base, have lunch and start the way back to Cusco in a bus. The tour ends in Cusco at 6:00 p.m. approximately.

Very nice experience, exhausting but the guide Wilian indicated us at all times options and gave us help to make the climb more bearable. She also took very nice pictures!
¡Qué bonito mensaje, mil gracias por compartirlo! La subida a Humantay no es fácil, y saber que Wilian supo acompañarlos hasta arriba con paciencia y buena energía es lo que más valoramos. Un gusto enorme haber sido parte de esta caminata.
My great thanks to the Eco tour agency cusco, they made my trip perfect, they were always attentive to me, to my schedules, to my transfers, they solved great improvisations so as not to be damaged my trip. I am most grateful to you, thank you very much. Greetings from Mexico
I bought EcoTour services on the recommendation of a friend and definitely loved it. Each guide, driver, and Victoria (who coordinated the trip) were helpful, made our experience unique. After being in Peru, we wanted to do an additional tour and they organized it in less than a day. I definitely recommend your services. We visit Machu Picchu, 7 Color Mountain, Humantay Lagoon, City Tour in Cusco and Lima, Huacachina Desert, among others.
I loved the management of the tour and the way they were attentive to our needs. Nice experience in Peru 💕

Eco Tour Cusco from the arrival on 3/15 until the day of departure took care of everything, Laguna was one of the tours, any difficulties or inconveniences were solved in response to our wishes. The guides, the drivers, the hotels, the tickets, everything was planned by the agency. Thanks to Victoria and her colleagues. Highly recommended.

A wonderful experience, the walk was really worth it, since being able to see the Humantay lagoon up close is truly surprising and beautiful. From minute one they were attentive to me.

Excellent tour really. We were picked up at the hotel at 4:00am and returned in the afternoon. The guide Javier is excellent and his attention was first class. We were lucky enough to see an avalanche as we arrived. The arrival at the lagoon is wonderful, the view is amazing. When the tour starts it is cold and after sunrise you die of heat so I patch up wearing warm thermal garments and you can take them off without problem. Then in a backpack or in a bag they don't pack. From where the vehicles leave you to the lagoon is an ascent of about two and a half hours super demanded. Take into account the footwear, carry water and be prepared for enough physical effort to be able to travel on quite steep terrain. Horses are hired to make the crossing (just to climb) but I think the fun is to go on foot. When you are in the lagoon the landscape is majestic and except for the voices of the people who are there you do not hear anything. The lagoon is 4200 meters high so it is recommended that you do not take the tour in the first days of the trip to be able to acclimate before going. If you are in Cusco perfectly you can do some things before visiting that place. There is a stop halfway where for a sun stamp your passport with the legend "Humantay Lagoon", so I recommend to take it to have that memory.
