From the operator’s live schedule on Viator, checked Oct 9.
Your adventure begins bright and early, with pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Cusco between 4:00 am and 4:30 am. The 2.5-hour drive to Mollepata, a charming Andean village nestled in the mountains, offers a chance to catch some extra sleep or enjoy the stunning sunrise views. As we ascend through the Andes, you will see the scenery transform. Mornings in the region are chilly, so we recommend dressing in layers for comfort.
Once we arrive in Mollepata, we will stop at a cozy local restaurant for a light breakfast and a warm cup of tea or coffee. This will give you the energy you need before the hike. After breakfast, we will drive another hour to Soraypampa, the starting point of our hike. Here, your guide will provide essential tips and safety instructions for the trek. Everyone is encouraged to walk at their own pace to fully enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. The hike is moderate in difficulty, with uneven terrain, but it’s suitable for all ages. If you feel it may be too challenging, horseback rentals are available directly from the local community.
The hike takes about 1.5 hours, and the reward is worth every step: the vibrant turquoise waters of Laguna Humantay, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and rich Andean biodiversity. Your guide will share fascinating insights about the area and its significance. You will also have plenty of time to take amazing photos and soak in the beauty of this magical place.
After enjoying the views, we will take our way back to Soraypampa, where our minivan will be waiting. From there, we will return to Mollepata for a buffet lunch. A perfect way to recharge after the hike.
We will head back to Cusco with a 2.5-hour drive, dropping you off just two blocks from the Plaza de Armas, an ideal spot for travelers to continue exploring the city.

An unforgettable, perfectly executed trip. From start to finish, the team took care of every detail—seamless transfers, incredible accommodations, and a flawless itinerary. Their expertise and communication made the whole process completely stress-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking to travel without the hassle!
An amazing location to visit with beautiful scenery. The tour was well organised, hotel pick-up and the breakfast and lunch were delicious. The tour made a last minute addition for my friend to join my group which made my experience even more enjoyable.
Wow, had the best experience ever with Nixon and Ari!!! From the start they were incredibly helpful - they answered every question (and there were many from me), scheduled calls and meetings, were very responsive and very kind. They checked in to make sure I enjoyed my tours. They were flexible when plans changed. They were so kind and lovely and made the experience so excellent. I've travelled a fair bit but was so nervous as I'd never been to south America. They provided help way beyond their tours, just with general travel questions with South America. Wish they had an agency in every country I could use! Top notch customer service! The tour itself was also so well planned - timing and everything allowed for a long time to enjoy the lake. Honestly recommend the horses if not acclimatised/well rested as it is hard work! Was one of the most beautiful sites you could see!
