Humantay Lagoon with luxury Domes – Full day
Tour Overview
The Humantay Lagoon is located in the Cusco region of Peru. It is located at an altitude of 4,200 meters above sea level. The lagoon is a popular tourist attraction due to its beautiful natural beauty and its location in the Andean mountains, which is formed due to the accumulation of rainwater and snow melt on top of the Humantay hill, which is located near the lagoon. The lagoon water is turquoise in color due to the refraction of light in the ice and snow surrounding the lagoon. The lagoon is surrounded by snow-capped peaks and is a popular place for hiking and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
Full Itinerary
Day 1: Cusco - Soraypampa - Humantay Lagoon - Cusco
Early pick up from your hotel or Air BnB at 5:00 am. within the city of Cusco, the trip itself is very interesting, as we have breathtaking views of the mountains as we go, passing also some indigenous villages and corn fields on the way to the trailhead. The trip to Soraypampa is approx. 3 hours, so we will arrive at our exclusive Biodomos camp in Soraypampa, where you can take a hot shower, after having a buffet breakfast in our dining room with the magical view of the snowy Salkantay and Humantay, then we will start our hike at an altitude of 3,800m. / 12,460 ft. The hike uphill is 1:30 hour to 2 hours, with your guide pointing out the diverse flora and fauna along the way, perhaps stopping to take a photo of the impressive snow-capped peak.
At the top is the treasure, a magnificent blue lagoon, a very special shade of intense turquoise with the snow-capped Humantay glacier mountain in the background, of course, the descent is usually a little faster than its initial ascent, and when we return to our Biodomos camp in Soraypampa, we will have a good lunch prepared to reward you, then we will begin our 3 hour return to Cusco in our private van.
