WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:

The Salkantay mountain is one of the highest mountains in the Cusco region, and one of the trekking routes to reach Machu Picchu.
Within the Trek Salkantay Route is Humantay, a snow-covered mountain that forms part of the Vilcabamba mountain range and gives rise to the formation of this splendid lagoon of turquoise coloration that is fed by the glaciers of the mountain. Located in the province of Anta, Cusco area.
The Humantay Lake is a good alternative for travelers who wish to enjoy nature and the natural landscape surrounded by imposing glaciers.

CUSCO – MOLLEPATA – SORAYPAMPA – HUMANTAY LAKE – CUSCO

Our adventure towards the HUMANTAY Lagoon begins with the pick-up of your hotel at 4:30 a.m., to head for 2 hours by transport to MOLLEPATA where we will have a nutritious breakfast.

Then we will continue with the journey for an extra hour to the Bus Station of SORAYPAMPA. Continuing our adventure towards the HUMANTAY Lagoon (4200 m.s.n.m.).

We start to ascend by a pampas with beautiful views, if the sky is clear we will have the opportunity to appreciate from afar the imposing Apus of SALKANTAY and HUMANTAY (The Apus are Incas deities). Our ascent from SORAYPAMPA to the HumanTAY Lagoon lasts approximately 1 hour and a half (5 km), but it is also possible to rent a horse if you wish.

The walk is considered between an easy to moderate level, but all the effort will be rewarded with a magical view of the lagoon. There we will have enough time to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds us, fill us with energy, take pictures and make a brief offering to the Apus.

Then we start our descent from the HUMANTAY Lagoon to SORAYPAMPA which lasts about 1 hour and a half, an easier walk than the climb. When we return to SORAYPAMPA we will take the return transport to MOLLEPATA where a rich lunch (buffet) awaits us and then we will take our transport back to the imperial city of Cusco at 6 pm.
