Descripción
*If you want to make the Humantay Lagoon Trek and the Vinicunca Rainbow Mountain Trek, you must leave a free day between both activities, because they have a high physical demand.
We will begin early in the morning to start the travel by vehicle from Cusco, passing by Mollepata to enter to the Salkantay Route and get to the point where we will begin the trek. We will walk 1 km (0.6 miles) until arriving to the Soraypampa campsite, at 12,795 feet of altitude, where we will have breakfast. After that, we will begin the ascending trek for 1 and a half hours until reaching the Humantay Lagoon, located at 13,451 feet of altitude. Here we will be able to see the color variation, depending on the perspective that gives us the point where we will be located, besides the glacier as background that goes to the lagoon, if the weather allows it. After taking pictures and resting from walking at that altitude, we will go back to the campsite, where we will have lunch. Then, we will walk to our vehicle to return to downtown Cusco, where our tour ends.
*Entry tickets prices subject to change without previous notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
- The tour is made during the whole year, always subject to weather conditions.
- Because we are talking about a mountain activity, of medium-high difficulty, our suggestion is to go with trekking poles, although we know these are not essential for the walking.
- For the Humantay Lagoon Trek, we will have lunch in a dining room in Soraypampa camp, once we finish walking. The lunch includes salad, main course and juice. Remember telling us if you are vegetarian or if you have any food allergies writing at reservas@denomades.com once you make the booking.
- Although it can be made during the whole year, usually the weather is more stable from June to November, in which there are more sunny days. However, like we are talking about a mountain tour, there are occasions that the fog and clouds could make impossible to see the lagoon.
- To book Humantay Lagoon Trek, you must choose the date and follow the steps on the website. You can add more tours to your cart before confirming your booking.

Puntual y bien guiada, La agencia incluso se preocupó de anotarme para los trekking considerando el tiempo de aclimatación, cosa que no todos los servicios lo hacen con tal de vender. Es hermoso el paisaje, la experiencia la recomiendo pero si considerar que hay que tener buena resistencia física y sin problemas médicos para hacerla
