It is not easy at all to get to the top of the mountain to see the Humantay Lagoon. You need physical and respiratory fitness to achieve it. The trail is going up a very steep stone path. Unfortunately it was raining and after 2 hours and 40 minutes we still had a long way to go, so we decided to return to the bus parking lot. The nature and the area are very beautiful. We managed to hear the noise when a glacier broke off.
My biggest advice is not to compete with anyone. I walked at my own pace, stopped whenever I needed to, and still made it to the lake. Enjoying the surroundings made the experience much better.
There was a moment when we reached the final stretch and the lake suddenly appeared between the mountains. Everyone became quiet for a few seconds. It was one of those views that doesn't need any explanation.
Don't do this on your first day in Cusco. Spend 2 days acclimatizing first. The tour itself was fantastic—great guides, stunning lake, and good meals.
Pictures don't lie—the lake is actually that blue! Going with a private tour means you can sleep comfortably on the long drive and eat a proper warm buffet lunch afterward. Absolute must-do, just acclimate in Cusco first.
