Humantay Lake Full Day



At Humantay Lake Full Day you can find spectacular scenery with exotic flora and fauna along this trek adventure you will find beautiful valleys and snow-capped mountains and one of the most important and sacred lake.

ITINERARY

Pick up from your hotel, we will begin our adventure towards Lake Humantay with a 03 hours private transportation from Cusco to Soraypampa (3850 masl).

Soraypampa is the camp for the first day of the Salkantay Trek. In Soraypampa we will have a delicious breakfast to start our day before starting our trek. In Soraypampa we will begin our trek to Humantay Lake (4200 masl) with beautiful views and if the sky is clear enough, we can even see the impressive Apus Salcantay and Humantay (The Apus are the spirits of the mountains).

It is a 1.5 hour walk to the lake with a low to moderate difficulty, but it will be more than worth it when you see the magical view. It is also possible to rent a horse in its place. We will have enough time to take photos, bring an offer to the Apus, and for the true bravest; Swim in the lake when it's sunny! After some free time, we will begin our descent to Soraypampa of approximately 1.5 hours, which is much easier than climbing. In Soraypampa we will wait for lunch and after a bit of rest we will return to Cusco where we will arrive at 6:00 pm

5 star rating 5/5 stars

Chino and Yisus are complete professionals. The experience was amazing. Inka Trail took care of our needs but remember that you are camping and you should be prepared for some difficult trekking on the Inka Trail. Recommend that you prep a bit with hikes before you take the trip. Once you arrive...
