Description
On this excursion to Humantay Lagoon we will ascend to more than 4000 meters of altitude to visit a spectacle of nature located in the Andes Mountains. A unique trekking route in Peru!
After picking you up from your hotel in Cusco at the indicated time, we will head by bus to the Humantay Lagoon, located in the heart of the Andes Mountains.
After two and a half hours of travel, we will make the first stop of the excursion in the town of Mollepata, located at almost 3000 meters of altitude. There we will enjoy an energetic breakfast. Is there a better way to start the day?
Later, we will continue touring the spectacular landscapes of this Peruvian region for an hour and a half until we reach the Soraypampa camp, at 3900 meters of altitude. It will be here where we will begin the trekking route to Laguna Humantay, a turquoise lagoon surrounded by imposing glaciers.
During the walking tour, which lasts about two hours on foot, we will ascend to 4,200 meters and we will delight in the local fauna and flora. The effort will be worth it, because when we reach the lagoon you will be able to admire a unique landscape.
After getting to know this natural environment, we will return to Soraypampa to get back on the bus. We will stop again in Mollepata to regain strength and satisfy our appetite with a buffet lunch. After lunch, we will head back to Cusco.
Finally we will leave you in Plaza Regocijo after 13 hours of excursion.
