Itinerary

Part 1HUMANTAY LAKE

Beginning today’s adventure with a bright pick up from your hotel in Cusco. Enjoy breakfast (or boxed breakfast). Appreciate some true beauty, as you travel towards Mollepata town (2803 m. / 9196.2 ft) for about 2.5 hours. In continuation, we will direct ourselves to Soraypampa town (3920 m. / 12860.9 ft) on the road, in order to reach the beginning of our hike. Take time out to appreciate the sights of Salkantay (6271 m. / 20574.2 ft.) as well as the Humantay (5862 m. / 19232.3 ft.) The hike will take approximately an hour and a half, until we reach Humantay Lake. Horses are available upon request.

The Lake of Humantay is highly respected by the residents of Mollepata, as it is their source of water. This unique piece of nature increases its intensity of color with the brightness of the sun. Therefore, the more powerful the sun rays, the more turquoise the lake becomes.

You will see some stone towers called “Apachetas”, a symbol of respect for the lagoon and the Apus of the area. They are considered sacred beings, as well as alive. You will be granted the opportunity to make an offering from the Sacred Coca leaves and pay your respect towards them.

Your expert guide will be there by your side throughout the hike, in order to help you, take great photos of you at this delightful location.
