Cusco: Trek to Humantay Lagoon - Salkantay 2Days

Discover this interesting route on a trek to Humantay, connect with nature high in the Peruvian Andes and appreciate the landscapes that surround this beautiful lagoon.
Humantay Lagoon, with its crystal-clear and beautiful waters, lies at the foot of the Salkantay mountain, which, together with the Humantay peak, forms the lagoon. Reaching the lagoon is a strenuous hike, but you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. This lagoon is considered a gift from Pachamama (Mother Earth), as its waters are vital for the surrounding fields. Day 1: Cusco - Humantay - Quiswarniyoc Camp. We begin the tour by picking you up from your hotel and departing Cusco very early in the morning for the town of Mollepata. We have breakfast in Mollepata and then head to Soraypampa to begin an uphill hike to Humantay Lagoon (luggage will be carried by the muleteers and horses located there).
