Humantay Lake Tour – Discover One of Cusco’s Most Breathtaking Natural Wonders

Experience the Humantay Lake Tour, a full-day adventure that takes you deep into the Peruvian Andes. This journey leads you to the stunning Humantay Lake at 4,200 meters above sea level. Here, turquoise waters meet the imposing Humantay glacier, creating a landscape unlike any other in Cusco.

Explore the Magic of Humantay Lake

Your adventure begins with an early pickup from your accommodation in Cusco. Shortly after, you will enjoy a nourishing breakfast that prepares you for the day. Then, after a brief orientation, you’ll start the hike toward Humantay Lake. Along the way, you will walk through dramatic Andean scenery filled with valleys, mountains, and memorable viewpoints.

Once you reach the lake’s viewpoint, you’ll admire its dazzling turquoise waters framed by snow-capped peaks. You’ll also have time to rest, explore, and capture the breathtaking natural beauty around you. As a result, the experience blends physical challenge, nature, and tranquility in a perfect balance.

Everything You Need for a Perfect Mountain Adventure

This tour includes breakfast, lunch, and entry tickets, which ensures a smooth and comfortable journey. In addition, you’ll travel in modern and spacious transportation and enjoy comfort items such as blankets and bottled water. To support your hike even more, the tour provides professional-grade Black Diamond trekking poles. Thanks to this, the experience suits travelers with different fitness levels.

You can complete the trek on foot; however, you may also rent a horse for part of the ascent. Finally, with small groups of only 10–13 travelers, you’ll enjoy a premium and highly personalized experience from start to finish.
