On the Tour to Humantay Lake, you will encounter two deities from Inca mythology: Humantay, the queen, and Salkantay, the snow-capped peak, which reigns as the king of the Andean range. Our dedicated team is available 24/7 to assist you, equipped with first aid, oxygen if needed, and the best buffet meals in the area.
We will pick you up from your hotel between 4:30 and 5:00 am. After a 4-hour drive, we will arrive at Soraypampa (3850 m.a.s.l.). Here, we’ll enjoy a delicious breakfast to start the day right before our trek. From Soraypampa, we will begin our hike to Humantay Lake (4200 m.a.s.l.). The trek offers stunning views, and if the weather is clear, you can see the magnificent snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay peaks.
The hike to the lake takes about 1.5 hours and is of low to moderate difficulty. The effort is well worth it for the breathtaking view. Alternatively, you can rent a horse if you prefer. At the lake, we’ll have time to take photos, make an offering to the Apus, and, for the adventurous, swim in the lake if the weather permits! After some free time, we will begin our descent to Soraypampa, which also takes around 1.5 hours and is easier than the ascent. We will then enjoy a hearty lunch in Soraypampa before heading back to Cusco, arriving around 5 p.m.
We offer daily departures for the Tour to Humantay Lake. The weather is generally dry throughout the year. However, from December to April, there may be occasional rain, though it is usually not a major issue. As this is a full-day tour arriving at the mountain around midday, sunny weather is likely.
