Itinerary
Our transport will pick you up from your accommodation between 4:20 to 4:40 hrs. Temperature during the first hours of our Humantay lake tour is cold ( 5 to 9°C ) that why you need to bring one extra warm sweater, jacket, hat and gloves. These will keep you comfortable during this driving time to Mollepata. After 2 hours driving we will arrive at Mollepata where we will stop for breakfast and get last things you forgot to buy in Cusco like water and snacks. After breakfast there is an hours drive to Soraypampa. Once we arrive at this high mountain plateau we will be able to see the beautiful mountains Apu Salkantay (6230 meters above sea level) and Humantay (5250 meters above sea level). After a short time to prepare and gather our day packs, we start the 1 hour trek to Humantay Lake (about 3 km.) The way up to Humantay Lake is steep however our group is small and our guide will let you take your time to enjoy and arrive without pressure. After enjoying our first view of Humantay Lake there is a optional small climb above the lake to the right or left where you can enjoy a panoramic view. Next we have the easy part of our trek. We go downhill to Soraypampa for another hour. Then we will take our private transportation back to Mollepata where a local lunch will be waiting for us. Once we finish lunch we will go back to Cusco. We will arrive in Cusco between 17:00 to 18:00 hrs

The climb was so worth the view! Our guide was great! He was very patient and encouraging with us as we went up. Definitely a great day excursion!
Thank you very much, for the nice comment you made about our tour to the Humantay lagoon, for us it is a nice opportunity to get to know, integrate with our clients and give them the best. We try to give the best so that our clients feel very happy with the service we provide. we offer many thanks
The ride is exhausting! Keep that in mind. Are 8km (rise + descent) at an altitude of 4.000mts. You have the option of riding a horse so it can't stand it. You have to leave well early from Cusco (type 3-4 in the morning) to avoid the hordes of tourists. The tour lasts all day If you have good physical preparation ask for your guide to "cut way" the track is much more beautiful and you arrive faster. But very well worth it! Beautiful walk, spectacular trail and the lagoon is stunning.

Amazing experience with breathtaking views. Jose and driver were very professional and we felt safe with them! Definitely would recommend this hike! It is a bit challenging but worth it! There are horses along the way that you can take for the hike up which made for a great experience. Dress in layers and bring your hiking sticks.
