- Excursion to Humantay Lagoon




An adventure at the foot of the Salkantay mountain in Cusco. A wonderful day that mixes adrenaline and color on the route of the second most famous trail to reach Machu Picchu. The Salkantay trail usually takes 5 days to reach...
Machu Picchu, and you will do a round-trip hike from the first section.
Our day starts at 4:30 am and we drive to the village of Mollepata for breakfast and then return along the road until we reach Soraypampa, which is the starting point for the mini-trail at Humantay Lagoon.
The first part of the hike will take 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach the turquoise blue lagoon, which enchants with its beauty and contrasts with the snow beside it. Here you will have 1 hour to rest and relax, taking photos. After that, we return to the car and after an hour's drive we arrive for lunch. In the afternoon, we return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 6:00 PM at the main square, Plaza de San Francisco, or at your hotel.
