Overview

Humantay Lake Full Day Tour Located in the district of Mollepata, and under the snow that gives it its name, Humantay Lake is impressive, majestic and impressive for all those tourists who come to it and for a long time, the lagoon was part of the tourist route. Several days to the snowy Salkantay. However, some time ago, we started to make the route to visit the lagoon in just one day, and no longer have to do the trekking of several days to see and enjoy it.

If you are looking for beautiful new walks and especially in a single day the Humantay Lake Full Day tour is one of the new natural attractions that we are offering. Laguna Humantay Full Day tour is a new alternative to traditional tours in the city of Cusco.

The Humantay lake is located in the province of Anta, Mollepata district on the route to the snowy Salkantay (6.271 m.s.n.m.).

The origin of the Humantay Lake (4 250 masl) is glacier because it originates from the snow melt Humantay (5,450 masl) located in the central Peruvian Andes of the chain of Vilcabamba whose highest snowfall is the Salkantay (6,271 m).

 Verified Best curated tour of Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley - at an extremely competitive price.
Elizabeth at Adventure Cusco curated a beautiful trip of Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu for us. The team ant Adventure Cusco arranged the best travel options and tour guides, for an extremely competitive price. I would highly recommend Adventure Cusco. Their service providers are extremely helpful, reliant and accommodating of all needs. We had the best time at Machu Picchu, all because of a private tour arranged by the team. Their tour guide Edwin at Machu Picchu is extremely knowledgeable, funny and patient. He knows the best spots for Instagram and literally takes the best pictures. The ATV tour at Sacred Valley was organised so well. I would do the entire trip again because it was organised so well and was so much fun. Go with these guys. I can vouch for them. I have spoken to some 7-8 friends who have visited Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley. None of them were able to do it in such an affordable price, especially with high quality travel options and tour guides.

 Verified Machu Picchu, Valle Sagrado VIP
We had an amazing experience with Adventure Cusco. They were in charge of our entire itinerary from airport transfers to each tour. They adjust to perfection to our needs and interest and exceed our expectations. We visit Machu Picchu by the Vistadome Observatory train and the views were breathtaking. Our tour guide Alex was just perfect. He knew the site to perfection and it seems we had Machu Picchu to ourselves. On top of that he took the most beautiful pictures and knows the best spots for the best pictures. I can’t recommend this company enough. We just relaxed and enjoyed while Elizabeth was in charge of each detail. Make sure to contact them if you are planning your trip to Cusco Peru.
