Embarking on the adventure into the untamed wilderness promises to enchant your senses from the break of dawn. Fueling up with a hearty breakfast precedes our trekking endeavor. Scaling up to the lake’s altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level (13,780 feet) demands both readiness and vigor.
Need not worried! Our learned storytelling guide will accompany you at every stop to share stories of this sacred lake. A guide will inform about the ins and outs of the local vegetation and wildlife, ensuring that your safety is a top priority throughout the day.
While Machu Picchu hogs the headlines, Humantay offers a just as mesmerizing yet tranquil alternative. It is frequently used as the starting point of the Salkantay Trek, yet Humantay is an exhilarating destination in its right.
Prior to departing the lake, remember to put on sunscreen. This is a comforting safeguard against the strong Andean sun on the lake that will be ongoing. It is also a great time to purchase snacks for the journey. A snack and water are often needed to replenish your energy during the elevation gain.
Once on the lake, we will allow you to relax and enjoy the all-encompassing view in peace and quiet. A scrumptious lunch will then be presented around noon.
By 04:00 pm, as the sun fades on the horizon, the return trip back to Cusco will be initiated. We will be carrying memories and new experiences as well as appreciation as the sun waves goodbye till we meet again.
