Description
One of the most beautiful and sacred lagoons in Cusco, Laguna Humantay, is named after the nearby mountain that towers above it and is adorned with snow. Salkantay (6270 m) is covered in snow.
The Cusco region has great natural and cultural attractions. In addition to the well-known traditional circuits, visitors can also enjoy alternative tours. For this reason, we believe that you will be fascinated by the beauty of the turquoise and glacial lagoon of Humantay.
The formation of the lagoon is a product of the melting of the snow-capped Humantay, which in turn is part of a mountain chain called the Vilcabamba Mountain Range. What differentiates this majestic lagoon from others is the indescribable color it has; it does not have flora in its waters. But, this lack is rewarded with the indescribable beauty that is very noticeable in the eyes of the visitor, since the lagoon forms a unique landscape with the glacier.
An ideal visit for those travelers who enjoy capturing unique landscapes with their camera. A wonderful and magical place at the same time, which is why it is a place visited by many tourists.
This tour is ideal for those people who like nature and love to enjoy it. During the tour you will be able to appreciate a variety of flora and fauna typical of the place, as well as mountain ranges including the majestic Salkantay. This tour is part of the famous Salkantay trek, the difficulty of this hike is considered moderate.
