Day 1: Cusco to Humantay Lake
Early in the morning, our team will pick you up from your accommodation in Cusco. From there, we begin our scenic drive to the village of Mollepata, where we’ll enjoy a hearty breakfast. En route, take in the breathtaking Andean landscapes, riddled with lush green valleys and grazing alpacas.
After breakfast, the adventure continues as we drive to Soraypampa, the starting point of our hike. Here, you’ll be met with jaw-dropping views of Salkantay mountain, standing tall at over 6,000 meters. Our trek to the lake begins along a moderately challenging trail, surrounded by high-altitude flora and fauna.
Upon reaching Lake Humantay, you’ll be rewarded with awe-inspiring views of its turquoise waters cradled by rugged peaks. Take time to absorb the spiritual energy of this sacred spot while enjoying snacks and taking photographs.
After soaking in the beauty of Humantay, we’ll begin our descent back to Soraypampa, where a delicious lunch awaits. Fully rejuvenated, we’ll drive back to Cusco, arriving in the late afternoon.
