Enjoy an adventure to the stunning Humantay Lagoon. After breakfast in Mollepata, you will begin a walk of approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes until you reach the lagoon of turquoise waters, surrounded by the majestic snow-capped Humantay. You will have time to rest, take pictures and admire the scenery before returning for lunch and return to Cusco.
The agency’s minibus passes by your accommodation in Cusco. Take advantage of this first leg of the trip to continue sleeping in the car.
You will travel for almost three hours to the northwest of Cusco. Upon arrival in the village of Mollepata, you will stop at a local restaurant for a hot breakfast.
The bus continues along a winding dirt road until it reaches Soraypampa (3,900 m a.s.l.), the base camp where the trek begins.
Start the trekking uphill to the lagoon. The distance is only 2 kilometers, but it is completely steep and the height makes you short of air. Take between 1 hour and a half to 2 hours at your pace.
You’ve arrived! You will see the striking turquoise green color of the water with the imposing snow-capped Humantay just behind. The guide will explain the origin of the place and you can walk around to take amazing photos.
The return to Soraypampa is along the same path. As it is all downhill, it takes only an hour, but you must be careful with your knees and not slip.
You will board the bus to return to the town where you had breakfast.
You will enjoy a well-deserved buffet lunch with Peruvian food to regain all your energy.
Final stretch in the minibus. You will arrive at the center of the imperial city at the beginning of the night
