The walk to Humantay Lake begins early in the morning from Cusco and is driven to the trailhead at Soraypampa. The travel across the Peruvian Andes passes through gorgeous scenery and small settlements. Hikers climb 4,200 meters (13,780 ft) to Humantay Lake from the trailhead, a tough but rewarding journey. The trek offers stunning views of snow-capped mountains, notably Salkantay.
The Humantay Lake viewpoint climb takes 3–4 hours. The lake’s turquoise beauty and Andean setting are famous. Participants may enjoy the stunning view, snap photos, and relax in the natural surroundings.
Trekkers return to the trailhead after visiting the lake, concluding the full-day trip. During the trip, guests may see local flora and animals, enriching the experience. Trek details may change based on the trip operator, weather, and other reasons. To avoid altitude difficulties, visitors should acclimatize in Cusco before such climbs. Tourism activities and hiking routes change over time, so check for updates or changes in laws.
