After we pick you up at your hotel, we will start our adventure to the Humantay Lagoon with a 3. hour-drive in to Mollepata (3850 m.a.s.l.). In Mollepata we will have a delicious breakfast to start our day well before beginning our trek. After half an hour arrive to Soraypampa we will start our trek up to the Humantay Lagoon (4200 m.a.s.l.) with beautiful views, we can see the impressive snow-capped Salkantay and Humantay. It is a 1.5-hour-walk to the lagoon with a low to moderate difficulty, and more than worth it when you see the magical view. We will have enough time to take pictures and enjoy its beautiful views. We will start our descent to Soraypampa, which is a lot easier than the way up. In Mollepata buffet lunch will await us and after some rest we return to Cusco where we will arrive at 6 p.m.
