We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco. It will take about 3.5 hours to get to Humantay Lake from Cusco, but first, we’ll have a stop for breakfast at a cozy restaurant.
Before starting the trek, our guide will give some useful information so you can walk safely to the top of the mountain. The hike will start at 3,800 m.a.s.l. reaching the 4.200 meters of elevation, which is why we need to take it calmly and slowly.

Once at the top of the mountain, you’ll realize that all that hard work has paid off! Our guides will explain the origin of the lagoon and will give you some free time so you can fully appreciate this natural wonder.
