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

I recommend you to do this impressive tour, the agency was super professional, the attention was always timely , the excellent guide , the road to the lagoon is beautiful with great views, the group tour became less entertaining absolutely recommended
We went to LA LA LAGUNA HUMANTAY the agency helped us organize everything do not worry about anything.. they were always willing to help us, the staff was friendly very attentive. The very professional, serious, attentive and very responsible guide, I like his way of working always explaining to everyone and answering our questions. IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO KNOW THE HUMANTAY LAGOON FROM UP CLOSE... REALLY BEAUTIFUL
