After an early pickup from your hotel, we will begin our adventure to Humantay Lake with a drive to Soraypampa. There, a delicious breakfast will be waiting to start our day right. After eating, we’ll begin the trek to Humantay Lake, taking in the stunning views of the towering snow-capped peaks of Salkantay and Humantay. The hike from the trailhead to the lake takes about 1–2 hours through moderately challenging terrain.
Once we arrive at Humantay Lake, the reward is more than worth the effort—an unforgettable view of crystal-clear waters beneath the mighty glaciers. We’ll have time to relax, take photos or offer a traditional tribute to the Apus. After enjoying the lake, we’ll descend back to Soraypampa, where a well-deserved lunch will be waiting before we return to Cusco in the early evening.

Excellent, safe, and fun experience! Everything from start to finish was perfect! The communication between Diego/the company and I was seamless. My guide, Rumi, was absolultely wonderful! I went to Peru on my own, and wanted to ensure a safe, easy experience-Cusco Native definitely delivered!
We had a fantastic trip to Cusco. Our guide Marco was excellent. He was very informative and gave excellent historical background of the places we visited. He was also patient with our slower pace. The itinerary was very well planned.
We booked our Peru trip through Cusco Native and Leidy was great help. We had millions of questions and adjustments and changes to our travel plan and Leidy at Cusco Native was very patient and helpful. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
We recently returned from an incredible trip organized by this travel company, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the organization was flawless. They took the stress out of planning by helping us secure the exact Machu Picchu circuit tickets we wanted. If you want a well-organized, stress-free trip to Cusco and Machu Picchu, this is the company to book!
