Humantay Lake is a stunning turquoise lagoon located at the foot of the Humantay glacier, in the Salkantay mountain range. Its intense color and the snowy peaks that surround it make it one of the most photographed places in Cusco.
With our private service you travel in a comfortable vehicle to Soraypampa, the starting point of the hike. Your driver will wait for you while you climb to the lake and will take you back to your hotel in Cusco at the end of the day.
The private format allows you to leave earlier or later than group tours, enjoy the lake with fewer people and stop wherever you want on the way, such as the town of Mollepata or the viewpoints of the Limatambo valley.
