Peruways’ full-day tour from Cusco to Humantay Lake takes you out among the Andes for a day. Set among the surrounding peaks, Humantay Lake is a turquoise alpine lake, and the trip combines strong scenery with some cultural context and a decent walk.
The day starts with a transfer from Cusco to the trailhead near Soraypampa, where travellers begin the climb through the Andean highlands. Along the way, guides explain the local plants, animals, and culture, so the walk also doubles as an informal lesson in the area.
Reaching the lake, you’ll see its turquoise water set against the surrounding peaks and rough terrain. The lake has real spiritual meaning for the local Andean communities, and the guides cover that side during the visit.
After taking in the lake and having a picnic lunch nearby, travellers descend back to the trailhead and return to Cusco at the end of the day.
Peruways’ Humantay Lake tour lets you see one of Peru’s standout natural spots in a single day, with transport, meals, and guides sorted out for you.
