Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Andes with our Humantay Lake Full Day Tour, a challenging yet rewarding hike near Cusco. This journey leads you to the dazzling turquoise waters of the lake, fed by the majestic Salkantay Glacier, while offering privileged views of snow-capped peaks and stunning geological formations.

Our adventure begins with a pickup at 5:00 AM directly from your accommodation in Cusco (hotel, Airbnb, or centrally located apartment). At Ali Peru Treks, we start our day at this time to allow you a more restful sleep and to ensure a comfortable journey toward our first destination: the picturesque town of Mollepata.

Upon arriving in Mollepata, we will enjoy our first nutritious breakfast at a local restaurant, prepared with regional ingredients to provide the energy needed for the hike ahead. After this refreshing start, we will continue our journey for one more hour until we reach Soraypampa, the starting point of our ascent.

Surrounded by the majesty of the Andes, we will begin the hike toward Humantay Lake. Situated at 13,780 feet (4,200 meters), this turquoise gem rests at the base of the imposing Humantay Mountain. The trek takes approximately two hours along trails offering spectacular views of snow-capped peaks and deep valleys, where you can connect with nature and spot native bird species.

Once at the lake, you will have plenty of time to explore the area, marvel at the intense color of the water, and capture memorable photographs. Your Ali Peru Treks guide will share insights into the spiritual importance of these glaciers in Andean culture. For those who prefer, horse rentals are available through the local community (additional fees apply).

After enjoying this unique scenery, we will begin our descent, hiking back for about an hour to Soraypampa. There, we will board our transportation to return to Mollepata, where a hearty buffet lunch awaits, prepared with fresh, locally sourced products to recharge your strength. The tour concludes with the drive back to the city, arriving at your accommodation in Cusco around 5:00 PM, ending an unforgettable day of adventure and natural beauty with the quality and care that defines us.
