Trek to Humantay Lagoon

[searchandfilter id="93"]

Hike to the jewel of the Andean mountains.

Peru’s immense mountains hide countless gems in their basins: blue, turquoise, green, yellow and red lagoons. Among them, one of the most dazzling jewels to be found in Cusco stands out: the Humantay Lagoon (4,200 m / 13,780 ft). Its emerald waters and the imposing presence of the whiter-than-white glacier come together in dazzling harmony.

No photograph does justice to this amazing natural wonder, so don’t miss the opportunity to visit this beautiful lagoon when you go to Cusco. With Salkantay Trekking, you will spend a day away from the city and get out into nature to visit the Humantay Lagoon. Without a doubt, it is a must-see destination and the perfect respite from the hectic Cusco.
