Itinerary

Day 1Cusco – Mollepata – Soraypampa – Humantay Lagoon - Cusco

Cusco to Laguna Humantay
4:20 AM – Departure from Cusco

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel or a designated meeting point in Cusco. Settle into a comfortable vehicle and enjoy the drive as you leave the city and head towards the Soraypampa region. Along the way, take in stunning views of the Andean countryside, dotted with small villages, rolling hills, and majestic mountains.

6:30 AM – Breakfast in Mollepata

Stop in the charming town of Mollepata for a traditional Andean breakfast. Recharge with warm beverages, freshly baked bread, and other local specialties, preparing you for the journey ahead.

7:30 AM – Arrival at Soraypampa (Trailhead)

After breakfast, continue to Soraypampa, located at an altitude of 3,900 meters (12,795 feet). This is the starting point of the trek to Laguna Humantay. Here, your guide will provide an overview of the hike, safety tips, and insights into the surrounding area.

8:00 AM – Start of the Hike (4 km round trip)

Begin your ascent to Laguna Humantay, a moderately challenging hike that takes about 1.5–2 hours. The trail winds through breathtaking Andean landscapes, with panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, including Salkantay, one of the highest peaks in the region. The altitude can make the hike strenuous, so take breaks as needed and enjoy the surroundings. Horses are available for rent if you need assistance.

10:00 AM – Arrival at Laguna Humantay

Reach Laguna Humantay, a pristine glacial lake situated at an altitude of 4,200 meters (13,779 feet). Its vivid turquoise waters are framed by towering peaks and lush alpine vegetation, creating a scene of unparalleled beauty. Spend time exploring the area, taking photos, and learning about the lake’s cultural and spiritual significance to the Andean people. Your guide will share stories of the lake’s connection to Incan traditions and Pachamama (Mother Earth).

11:30 AM – Descent to Soraypampa

Begin your descent back to Soraypampa, retracing your steps through the breathtaking landscape. The downhill hike is significantly easier, taking approximately 1 hour.

1:00 PM – Lunch in Mollepata

Return to Mollepata for a well-deserved lunch, often served buffet-style with traditional Peruvian dishes. Savor the flavors of Andean cuisine while reflecting on your incredible journey.

3:00 PM – Return to Cusco

Relax and unwind during the scenic drive back to Cusco. Enjoy the views of the Andes as you retrace your route through the Peruvian highlands.

5:00–6:00 PM – Arrival in Cusco

Arrive back in Cusco, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or central meeting point. With your heart full of memories and your camera full of stunning photos, your unforgettable day trip to Laguna Humantay comes to an end.
