Cusco, Humantay Lake with Breakfast and Buffet Lunch

Discover Humantay Lake situated north of Cusco, adjacent to the mythical Apu Salkantay snow-capped peak. This guided day tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to admire the picturesque surroundings of the area, including views of the serene lake and awe-inspiring snow-covered mountains.

A professional tour guide will promptly meet you at your homestay, hostel, or hotel in Cusco during the hours from 4:00 AM to 4:30 AM. Following a two-hour drive, guests will reach Mollepata upon arrival, where they will proceed with breakfast and procure essential supplies such as water and snacks for the subsequent trek.

Upon consuming their meal, travelers will embark on a journey towards Soraypampa, a high-altitude mountainous plateau situated at approximately 20,400 feet (6,230 meters) above sea level. Here, visitors will have the opportunity to observe the majestic Apu Salkantay, standing at an elevation of 20,400 feet (6,230 meters), and the equally awe-inspiring Humantay Peak, reaching heights of 17,225 feet (5,250 meters).

Afterward, guests will commence their 2-hour trek toward Humantay Lake, traversing through a challenging terrain but guided by their experienced tour leader who ensures a leisurely pace. Upon reaching the destination, tourists will be rewarded with breathtaking vistas of the serene lake and, if desired, an optional ascent to either the right or left side of the lake, offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

The remainder of the trip entails a gentler descent into Soraypampa, followed by a transfer via private vehicle back to Mollepata. A delightful local lunch awaits them upon arrival, which concludes their exploration of the region's natural beauty. Guests will then return to Cusco around 5:00 PM, conveniently located near the plaza known as Plaza de Armas.
