Description
We will start early in the morning with your pick up from your accommodation. Then, we'll drive for 3 hours to the village of Mollepata (2,900 masl / 9,515 ft), where we will have a delicious breakfast and have energy to go to Soraypampa (3,850 masl / 12,631 ft). From this point, we will start the trek to the lake. During the ascent, we will have the opportunity to observe the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit the area. We can find some native birds of the area, as well as to get great views of the Andean landscape. Once we arrived in the area, we will enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the spectacular Humantay Lagoon (4,200 masl / 13 779 feet) and its turquoise waters. After having relaxed, we will descend to Soraypampa, where our transport will be waiting for us to take us to Mollepata for lunch. Later, our transportation will lead back to the city and leave us near to the Main Square of Cusco.

Humantay Lake
Humantay Lake is one of the many hidden gems of Peru’s highland region. The emerald gelid waters and the hugely imposing glacier come together in flawless harmony for the truly incredible sight that you see. It truly is a hidden gem, as it is nestled between two different peaks, and the only way to access it (safely) is from below. A short trek of two hours will allow you to enjoy this beautiful jewel of nature.

Great tours from Cusco
Excellent service for visiting these natural wonders! Our guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and nice. He shared with us his Andean roots and culture. Completely recommended!

Rough walk but the reward is worth millions
The walk was hard, I would recommend taking a horse from the beginning if you are coming from other days of walks or tours. But when you get there it's all worth it. The view is incredible, like you are in a place out of this world. Our guide Saúl was always aware of each member of the group and explained every detail to us. I would definitely return!

A super spectacular adventure
SPECTACULAR!!!! The place is really beautiful and the attention of our guide Franklin, his driver team Rony and the photographer Ribelino made this experience unforgettable!!! Franklin is not just a guide, he is a leader who leads his team to enjoy the moment, with his kind and charismatic character. We also did the Mountain of Colors and Machu Pichu. SUPER mega recommended!! 😍

Beautiful views and amazing guide
We did this tour with Guido Chavez and it was incredible! Guido was very knowledgeable about Inca history and we learned a ton in addition to the amazing views at the lake. Guido also led us in a traditional Inca ceremony that was very moving. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Humantay Lake.
