Overview

Hotel pick-up - transportation to start point :
We will pick you up from your hotel between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. to start a trip to Mollepata, where we will stop for breakfast (not included). Then we will continue to Soraypampa.
Climbing the lagoon:
Here you will begin the 1 hour and 30 minute walk to the Humantay Lagoon. The walk is physically demanding, so it is important to be prepared. At the start of the hike, temperatures are cold, so it is necessary to bring warm clothes and hiking shoes. If the hike becomes very demanding for you, there is the possibility of renting a horse.

At the end of the ascent you can enjoy some time to rest, appreciate the lagoon and take pictures.
Descent, lunch and return to Cusco:
We start descending back to the base, have lunch and start the way back to Cusco in a bus. The tour ends in Cusco at 6:00 p.m. approximately.
