    Humantay Lake

    The Humantay Lake tour from Cusco is a full-day adventure that combines hiking, stunning Andean landscapes, and cultural experiences. The journey begins early with a scenic drive to Mollepata for breakfast, followed by a transfer to Soraypampa, where the hike starts. From there, travelers take a moderate 2 km uphill hike to reach the beautiful turquoise waters of Humantay Lake, located at over 4,200 meters above sea level and surrounded by impressive glaciers. Visitors have time to explore, take photos, and enjoy the peaceful mountain scenery. After the visit, the group hikes back to Soraypampa, returns to Mollepata for lunch, and then travels back to Cusco in the afternoon.
