    Humantay Lake Hike from Cusco

    Why visit Humantay Lake?

    Visiting the Laguna Humantay is an unforgettable experience in the Peruvian Andes. This stunning turquoise lake, surrounded by snow-capped mountains near Cusco, offers breathtaking views and a perfect adventure for nature and hiking lovers.

    Itinerary

    Your adventure begins with an early hotel pickup in Cusco. From there, we will travel by comfortable transportation for approximately 2.5 hours to the picturesque village of Mollepata, located at around 3,000 meters above sea level. Here we will enjoy a delicious breakfast to start the day with energy.

    After breakfast, we continue our journey for about 1.5 hours through beautiful Andean landscapes until we reach Soraypampa, located at 3,900 meters above sea level.

    From Soraypampa, the hike to Humantay Lake begins. The trek takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, reaching an altitude of around 4,200 meters above sea level. Along the way, you will enjoy spectacular views of the Andes and observe local flora and fauna.

    Upon arrival at Humantay Lake, you will have time to explore, take photos, and admire the incredible turquoise waters surrounded by glaciers and mountains. It is truly one of the most beautiful natural attractions in Peru.

    After enjoying the lake, we will hike back to Soraypampa where our transportation will be waiting for us. We will then return to Mollepata to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch.

    Finally, we will travel back to Cusco, where the tour ends near Plaza Regocijo after approximately 13 hours of adventure.

    Our visit to Nazca was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Despite our very last-minute request, everything was arranged smoothly and professionally. The private transfer was comfortable, and the Nazca Lines flight with an English-speaking guide was clear and enjoyable. Our driver, Manuel, was kind, professional, and very supportive throughout the long journey, making us feel safe at all times. My wife and I truly enjoyed the entire experience and created memories we will never forget. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable tour company in Peru.

    Our family had a great time in Peru. We took the tour - Peru in 10 Days: From the Capital to the Inca Ruins with Flight Included - and had it slightly changed. The travel agency was flexible in adjusting the itinerary. They were generous enough to give us a hotel room upgrade in Lima and a free guide on our Wayna Picchu trek. This was a truly memorable Christmas since we spent it in Wayna Picchu and Machu Picchu which was on our bucket list. All other parts of the tour were great especially Huacachina and Rainbow Mountain. The Ceviche in the class & tasting part of the tour was the best one we tried as compared to the highly rated restaurants we visited in Lima. Highly recommended! Special thanks to Yonel Simón and Rosa Roque Ccora!

    We had an amazing day with this tour, perfectly guided by Gabriel, who was incredibly friendly throughout the trip. Despite being only two non-Spanish speakers in the group, he took the time to translate everything into English, which we deeply appreciated. The day was full of wonderful surprises: from spotting incredible wildlife during the Paracas tour, to learning about the art of Pisco making during the tasting session, and finally the highlight of the day—exploring the Huacachina desert by buggy and witnessing a breathtaking sunset. We couldn’t recommend this experience more—absolutely worth it!
