The Humantay Lagoon is one of the most visited and most beautiful natural attractions in Cusco. The beauty of this destination makes it a favorite experience for travelers, the turquoise color of its waters are photographed by hundreds of tourists every day.
Since Andean times this lagoon was adored by Andean communities and the Incas, we will also be able to see the imposing "Nevado Salkantay" which is the first most important Nevado and the second highest Nevado in all of Cusco. You can appreciate one of its peaks, its snowy slopes as well as the mountain range that surrounds it (an incredible landscape)

The excursion to the Humantay lagoon includes a challenging walk of a few kilometers. Along this route incredible Andean landscapes can be appreciated. It is also possible to observe the flora and fauna characteristic of the place such as llamas, vizcachas, horses and more.

This makes this trip a truly unique tourist gem, an experience that I know you will love.
