Itinerary
Our tour starts at 4:00 am, our transportation picks you up at your hotel in Cusco (central area of Cusco). We will head towards the picturesque town of Mollepata, where you can enjoy a beautiful landscape during the trip. In Mollepata, we will stop to enjoy a delicious breakfast that will give us the necessary energy for the adventure that awaits us.
After regaining our strength, we will continue our journey to Soraypampa, where we will begin the walk to the Humantay Lagoon. During the walk of approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, you will have the opportunity to appreciate the rich fauna and flora of the region, connecting with nature at its finest. Once at the viewpoint, you will have 30 minutes to marvel at the mountain's stunning colors, ranging from shades of red to blue and green. Our guide will share interesting facts about the cultural importance of this site. The limited time at the viewpoint is due to altitude and health considerations, but it is enough to capture spectacular photos and experience the wonder of 7 Colors Mountain. Then, we will return to Cusipata to enjoy a lunch that will recharge your energy before embarking on the return trip to Cusco.
Once we reach Humantay Lagoon, at an altitude of 4200 meters above sea level, you will be amazed by the intense turquoise color of the water and the impressive panoramic views that will surround you. You will have enough time to enjoy this natural spectacle and take photographs that will remind you of this unique moment.
After enjoying the beauty of the lagoon, we will begin the descent back to Soraypampa. We will meet our transportation and return to Mollepata, where a comforting lunch awaits us to regain strength after the walk.
After a brief rest in Mollepata and a moment to relax. We will begin the trip back to Cusco, where we estimate to arrive around 6:00 p.m.

An unforgettable experience that made us step out of our comfort zone; our guide Russel was always attentive and motivating us to reach the top and have spectacular views🤩

Punctual, however, the only aspect to review was that our guide indicated from the beginning that we should take the horses to go up; I understand and comprehend that it is for the well-being of his clients, but he could have encouraged each person to climb at their own pace more, the food was tasty, there was no variety of desserts.
¡Gracias por compartirnos tu experiencia! 🙏 Nos alegra saber que destacaste nuestra puntualidad y que disfrutaste de la comida. 💚 Tomamos muy en cuenta tu comentario sobre el uso de los caballos y el ritmo de ascenso. Entendemos que cada viajero tiene un ritmo diferente y trabajaremos con nuestro equipo para que nuestros guías puedan orientar y acompañar mejor a cada pasajero, respetando sus preferencias y condiciones. También tendremos en cuenta tu observación sobre la variedad de los postres. 🍰✨ Gracias por ayudarnos a seguir mejorando cada detalle de la experiencia.
I feel like they almost force you to rent the horses and the guide forces you to go at a pace you are not used to, especially with the altitude, since he wants to climb in the shortest time possible. In summary, the guide failed to encourage the team to climb the mountain.
Lamentamos mucho que tu experiencia no haya cumplido con tus expectativas. 🙏 Tomamos muy en serio tus comentarios, especialmente sobre el ritmo de caminata, la adaptación a la altura y la información brindada respecto al uso de caballos. Nuestro objetivo es que cada pasajero se sienta acompañado y cómodo durante todo el recorrido, por eso revisaremos lo sucedido con nuestro equipo y el guía para seguir mejorando nuestro servicio.
The experience that our guide Russell provided was spectacular, with spot-on advice, extensive historical explanations for everything we asked, and an impressive willingness to make the trip comfortable and hassle-free.
¡Muchas gracias por compartir tu experiencia! 🥰 Nos alegra muchísimo saber que Russell estuvo atento a cada detalle y que sus explicaciones y recomendaciones hicieron que el viaje fuera aún más especial. 🏔️✨
I went alone and I did not feel alone, the guide always supported us when we fell behind. It is worth going up to the lagoon, it is a beauty😍 very attentive and punctual. My Machu Picchu guide was the best, he took photos of me everywhere, very attentive and kind. Samantha from Jisa Adventure was always aware of my flight, aware of me. That every transport arrived on time to pick me up. Delighted with everything 🩷
¡Qué bonito leer tu comentario! Nos hace muy felices saber que, incluso viajando sola, te sentiste acompañada en cada momento. Nos encanta que hayas disfrutado de la Laguna Humantay y de tu visita a Machu Picchu, y que tanto nuestros guías como Samantha hayan contribuido a que todo saliera de la mejor manera.

¡Gracias por tu recomendación! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste de una experiencia organizada, puntual y llena de buenos momentos. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de acompañarte nuevamente en un próximo viaje.
The agency is very organized; they always maintain communication before the tour. The guides are very special; they have an excellent service attitude and are very attentive to any needs. Our guide Russell was very special; we decided to walk, and he supported us a lot by encouraging us to reach the lagoon, very intelligent and kind.
Very good experience, but it is very, very tiring and difficult. The descent is dangerous and not suitable for people with low fitness, but it is a very beautiful experience.
