Cusco - Anta - Limatambo - Mollepata - Soraypampa - Humantay Lagoon
Humanatya Lagoon is a crystal-clear body of water located in the Peruvian Andes, surrounded by towering mountains and lush nature. Its scenic beauty, with turquoise and green waters, reflects the sky and the surrounding snow-capped peaks, creating a dreamlike landscape. This natural paradise is an ideal destination for lovers of hiking and adventure, as access to the lagoon usually involves walking along trails surrounded by Andean flora and fauna. Furthermore, its tranquil setting makes it a perfect place for meditation and connecting with nature. The lagoon is not only a tourist attraction but also holds important cultural and ecological significance for local communities, who consider it an essential part of their natural heritage.
The tour will begin with pickup from your hotel in Cusco at 4:30 a.m. We will drive for 2 hours to Mollepata, where we will stop to recharge our batteries with a delicious breakfast. From there, we will continue for another hour to "Soraypampa." Here, we will leave the vehicle and prepare for the hike. As we walk, we will see the Salkantay glacier, at an altitude of 6,200 meters. We will walk along the banks of a stream, accompanied by your guide, who will be attentive to you throughout the journey. The trail is surrounded by the Salkantay Mountains, one of Peru's most sacred mountains, which rises to 6,200 meters (20,600 feet) with a steep, snow-capped face. As we look out over the imposing snow-capped peak, we will have time to make an offering to Mother Earth, Pachamama. Later, we will return to Soraypampa to board the vehicle and return to Mollepata, where our buffet lunch awaits us. Later, we will begin our return to Cusco. Along the way, we will stop by an artisanal ice cream shop if you prefer. We can stop and sample some of these delicacies, and then we will return to Cusco. Our approximate arrival time will be around 5:30 p.m.
