Humantay Lake

Humantay Lake

Latin America is recognized worldwide for the natural beauties that are hidden within countries like Peru.

This lagoon formed by the thaw of the Humantay mountain presents a unique landscape of the district of Mollepata (Anta).

Humantay Lagoon

In Perú an adventure destination is Cusco, which guards the Salkantay Trek to the Apu Salkantay, an attraction that moves with the beauty of the landscape and keeps years of history in archaeological zones.

As part of the route to the Salkantay mountain, you can access walking or mountain biking, as well as lending itself to some other camping activities.

With a mystical air, the lagoon is visited by shamans and tourists from all over the world to leave offerings to the Pachamama, deity that represents mother Earth in the Inca culture.

Placement of stones are offerings to Pachamama (Mother Earth) 

Through the placement of stones an offering is offered to the Pachamama (Mother Earth) thanking him for having successfully arrived at the lagoon, as well as asking him to accompany us on our journey.

The Humantay Lake is a place that impacts with its immensity, traces and colors in the landscape, which make it one of the unmissable tourist destinations in the bowels of Perú.

ITINERARY

Pick up from your hotel, we will begin our adventure towards Lake Humantay with a 4 hours private transportation 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
