Humantay Lake, with its turquoise waters and snow-capped mountains towering over it, is one of the most breathtaking places to visit in the Peruvian Andes. A day trip to this beautiful alpine lake is a must for travelers who come to visit Cusco.

When you go on a Humantay Lake atour from Cusco, it might be in your best interest to know what to expect on your trip to have a memorable experience of scenic tours, exhilarating mountain hikes and breathtaking sights.

Early Morning Pickup from Cusco

The majority of tours begin early, and hotel transportation in Cusco begins between 3:00 a.m and 4.30 a.m. The Andes are accessible by a three to four-hour drive through beautiful valleys and villages.

Early checkouts mean a lot of time to hike and even sightsee. Breakfast is usually taken by travelers in towns such as Mollepata or right at the trailhead as a way of fueling the hike and having a glimpse of the beautiful Andean scenery.

Arrival at Soraypampa and Start of the Hike

The next destination of Lake Humantay from Cusco, after breakfast, is Soraypampa at 3,850 meters (12,631 feet), the base of the hike to the lake on the Salkantay Trek route. The climb lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, and the first part is not steep but rather gradual to allow the body to acclimatize to the altitude and grow steeper towards the lake.

Hikers get to enjoy stunning sceneries of the towering snow-covered Salkantay and Humantay mountains, which adds to the memory of the trek besides the destination.
