ITINERARY

DAY 1

Your tour begins at 5:00 a.m., when your professional guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco. We will board our private transport and travel northwest toward the picturesque town of Mollepata.

Upon arrival in Mollepata, we’ll enjoy a well-deserved breakfast to energize ourselves for the hike. After breakfast, we continue by vehicle to Soraypampa, the starting point of the trek, located at an elevation of 3,800 meters (12,460 feet).

After a short rest and briefing, we begin our ascent to Humantay Lake, a scenic hike of approximately 1.5 to 2 hours through breathtaking Andean landscapes surrounded by majestic mountains and lush valleys.

Upon reaching the lake—known locally as Laguna Humantay—you’ll be rewarded with views of its deep turquoise waters, framed by the stunning snow-capped Humantay Glacier. Here, your guide will provide an explanation about the significance of the lake in local culture and its natural importance.

You’ll have time to take unforgettable photos, relax, and connect with the tranquil environment. Afterwards, we’ll begin the descent back to Soraypampa, where our vehicle will be waiting.

We then drive back to Mollepata, where a delicious lunch awaits, accompanied by panoramic views of the surrounding snow-capped peaks. After lunch, we return to Cusco, arriving around 5:00 p.m., and drop you off at your hotel.
