Mollepata - Once everyone is ready, the exciting journey towards Humantay Lake commences. You will travel by car for about 2 hours in our tourist transport until reaching the community of Mollepata. Here, you will enjoy a delightful breakfast before continuing the tour.
Continuing the Humantay Lake Tour, the vehicle leaves the main road to take a dirt road for an additional hour. During the journey, you can admire stunning landscapes, canyons, cloud forests, and the magnificent Salkantay Glacier, the second largest glacier in the Cusco region. -
Humantay Lake - Upon reaching the final stop for the van, the group will begin a hike lasting approximately 1.5 hours. The duration is an average and depends on your pace, but don’t worry, you can hike at your own speed. The hike is slightly steeper than the Rainbow Mountain Tour, so it’s advisable to take frequent breaks to avoid fatigue.
Upon arriving at the breathtaking turquoise Humantay Lake, the group will receive information from the Tour Guide and have free time to explore the area, with about 40 minutes available before returning to the parking area.
END OF THE TOUR
After an hour, you will enjoy lunch at the same restaurant as in the morning. Since the hike requires significant effort, the lunch is a buffet to help you regain the energy expended during the hike.
Concluding the Humantay Lake Tour, you will return to Cusco city, arriving at approximately 5:00 pm. Our transport will take you to the city center or, if it’s a Private Service, to your respective hotel.
