Itinerary
Our transport will pick you up from your accommodation between 4:20 to 4:40 hrs. Temperature during the first hours of our Humantay lake tour is cold ( 5 to 9°C ) that why you need to bring one extra warm sweater, jacket, hat and gloves. These will keep you comfortable during this driving time to Mollepata. After 2 hours driving we will arrive at Mollepata where we will stop for breakfast and get last things you forgot to buy in Cusco like water and snacks. After breakfast there is an hours drive to Soraypampa. Once we arrive at this high mountain plateau we will be able to see the beautiful mountains Apu Salkantay (6230 meters above sea level) and Humantay (5250 meters above sea level). After a short time to prepare and gather our day packs, we start the 1 hour trek to Humantay Lake (about 3 km.) The way up to Humantay Lake is steep however our group is small and our guide will let you take your time to enjoy and arrive without pressure. After enjoying our first view of Humantay Lake there is a optional small climb above the lake to the right or left where you can enjoy a panoramic view. Next we have the easy part of our trek. We go downhill to Soraypampa for another hour. Then we will take our private transportation back to Mollepata where a local lunch will be waiting for us. Once we finish lunch we will go back to Cusco. We will arrive in Cusco between 17:00 to 18:00 hrs

Amazing experience with breathtaking views. Jose and driver were very professional and we felt safe with them! Definitely would recommend this hike! It is a bit challenging but worth it! There are horses along the way that you can take for the hike up which made for a great experience. Dress in layers and bring your hiking sticks.
No words to thank and appreciate the effort and work of Jose our guide. This trip would not have been so informative and fun without him. He was very friendly and has a good sense of humor. Andes Peru did really desrve excellent credits for making this a memorable trip.
We enjoed every moment of the trek. Jose Ttito is an excellen guide with a lot of information and helpful nature. The view on the way and from the top was simply priceless.
Jose Ttito the owner did wonders on this trip.I felt a bit sick while climbing and he was quick to grab a can of xygen and recover me. He always walked beside me to make sure that I was not feeling sick anymore. Such a fantastic guide and a great human being.
The ride is exhausting! Keep that in mind. Are 8km (rise + descent) at an altitude of 4.000mts. You have the option of riding a horse so it can't stand it. You have to leave well early from Cusco (type 3-4 in the morning) to avoid the hordes of tourists. The tour lasts all day If you have good physical preparation ask for your guide to "cut way" the track is much more beautiful and you arrive faster. But very well worth it! Beautiful walk, spectacular trail and the lagoon is stunning.
It was the best trip I had, with the best team of the Andes Peru agency, the trip was an adventure with expert guides and the best information, I recommend them
Going to the lagoon was beautiful, when climbing it was raining a little, the guide helped us a lot giving his emotional support and providing his knowledge and that made it exciting, the road is full of beautiful landscapes and you get to the lagoon you are a great surprise by the beauty it has.
The whole tour was well organized and I was really surprised by the organization of the agency and the amazing beauty of the Lagoon.It was a challenge for my family to climb but everything went perfect thanks to our guide...
The place is wonderful, everything was great from the organization of part of the agency and the great tour of the humantay Lagoon... I simply marveled at the natural beauty of this lagoon.
What an amazing experience with ANDES PERU... our guide always reporting everything, was helpful and amazing!!!, all the agency team was great, the food was delicious, How happy I am when you do a good Service...
I had an amazing trip, the guide always shared his knowledge about the places we passed before arriving at the HUMANTAY LAGOON, when you get there you find a phenomenal landscape with beautiful colors.
Really the whole tour was well organized, going to the humantay lagoon is exceptional, however to appreciate all the beauty of the lake you have to walk and that is a real challenge, but upon arrival you find a great great landscape.
I want to thank you very sincerely for traveling through your agency, I have found friendly, very professional and punctual care. It was a great experience, everything worked very well. It was a good tour they did, the walk to the lagoon was beautiful the incredible landscapes, my family is very happy.
