This full-day hiking tour begins with an early hotel pickup in Cusco and a drive of about three and a half hours to the Humantay Lake area. Along the way, there is a breakfast stop at a small restaurant in Mollepata before reaching the trekking start point. The hike starts at 3,800 meters above sea level and ascends to 4,200 meters. The guide provides safety instructions before the moderately difficult climb, which should be taken at a slow and steady pace due to the high altitude. At the top, participants have time to enjoy the view of Humantay Lake, an emerald-colored body of water surrounded by snow-capped peaks. The guide shares information about the lake’s origin. After approximately 45 minutes at the site, the group hikes back down to the bus for the return journey. Following the trek, lunch is served at a restaurant featuring Peruvian dishes. After the meal, travelers return to Cusco with drop-off options at either the hotel or Plaza de Armas. The tour includes round-trip transportation, breakfast, lunch, a bilingual professional guide, and air-conditioned vehicles. An optional horseback ride to the summit is available separately for an extra fee. Participants should be fully acclimatized to handle the altitude and wear appropriate footwear and sun protection.
