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.

Safari8002502024-05-04Verificada The magical trip of my life I met Cusco Wonder travel through Facebook. Rubén called me and gave me the best explanations to clear up my doubts. He is very friendly and super reliable, all the reservations I made from Argentina were fulfilled. I dreamed of Machu Picchu, and this tourism agency made it come true and at the best price. Consider that I was traveling alone to an unknown country. They went to pick me up at the bus station, they gave me the bus and train tickets to get to Aguas Calientes. They accompanied me to get the ticket and to the accommodation. The next day we left with our guide towards the fabulous ruins. The explanation was brilliant and entertaining. At the height of that unique moment in the life of each of the passengers. I visited Puente del Inca and I was looking forward to returning to do the Inca Trail with them, which takes 4 days with everything included. I recommend them, they are the best. They took care of all the details so that I could fully enjoy it. Don't hesitate to hire them. Juana B2024-05-03Verificada Spectacular!!!!
