Highlights
We will start early in the morning with your pick up from your accommodation. Then, we'll drive for 3 hours to the village of Mollepata (2,900 masl / 9,515 ft), where we will have a delicious breakfast and have energy to go to Soraypampa (3,850 masl / 12,631 ft). From this point, we will start the trek to the lake. During the ascent, we will have the opportunity to observe the diverse flora and fauna that inhabit the area. We can find some native birds of the area, as well as to get great views of the Andean landscape. Once we arrived in the area, we will enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the spectacular Humantay Lagoon (4,200 masl / 13 779 feet) and its turquoise waters. After having relaxed, we will descend to Soraypampa, where our transport will be waiting for us to take us to Mollepata for lunch. Later, our transportation will lead back to the city and leave us near to the Main Square of Cusco.

Itinerary
Humantay Lake is one of the many hidden gems of Peru’s highland region. The emerald gelid waters and the hugely imposing glacier come together in flawless harmony for the truly incredible sight that you see. It truly is a hidden gem, as it is nestled between two different peaks, and the only way to access it (safely) is from below. A short trek of two hours will allow you to enjoy this beautiful jewel of nature.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
