    Humantay Lake

    Upon reaching Humantay Lake, you’ll have ample time to immerse yourself in the beauty of the site. Take in the breathtaking views, snap photos, make an offering to the Apus, and if you’re feeling brave, take a swim in the crystal-clear waters when it’s sunny. After exploring and enjoying the area, it’s time to start the descent back to Soraypampa.

    Admission ticket not included
  • Cusco (Pass by)

    The return trek to Soraypampa takes around 1.5 hours, which is much easier than the way up. Once back in Soraypampa, you’ll sit down to a well-deserved lunch, allowing time to rest before the drive back to Cusco. Afterward, you'll make your way back to Cusco, arriving around 5:00 pm, filled with unforgettable memories from the day.
