Tour Details

Humantay Lake Tour is one of the preferred tours in Cusco. Known locally as Laguna Humantay Cusco, it is a lake with crystalline and turquoise waters located in the province of Anta at 4,200 meters above sea level. The name of this lake is due to the snowy Humantay, whose melted snow feeds the turquoise waters of this lake.

This place is considered sacred since Inca times. In the Inca empire, entities of nature were worshiped as their gods, as a sign of gratitude for their resources; and this place was one of them. Even today, shamans (Andean priests) go up to the lagoon to offer Apacheta. It is a process of piling stones one on top of the other to thank Mother Earth (Pachamama) for accompanying them on her journey.

To get to Lake Humantay, you have to walk for an hour and a half. The starting point is in the town of Soraypampa. If you don’t want to walk you can rent a horse for an additional cost.

The Humantay Lagoon is located at a high altitude, so we recommend that you spend a few days in Cusco before doing this trek. So avoid altitude sickness.
