Day Trip to the Humantay Lagoon

  • 9 reviews | 187 travellers
    Wonderful route, beautiful views and totally worth it. We went up on horseback (it's totally worth it to get less tired). We had a problem with the guide. He got off in front and we were left far behind. My wife and I had problems along the way. She felt sick from shortness of breath (thank goodness we brought our own oxygen) because if we had depended on the guide it could have been problematic. He didn't meet us at the meeting point and waited for us in the van, which left us to go back there alone.

Day Trip to the Humantay Lagoon

At the indicated time we'll set off toward the town of Mollepata. Don't worry, the early start will totally be worth it!

Upon arrival in Mollepata, we'll enjoy a delicious and energizing breakfast, before making our way to Soraypampa. From there, we'll begin our 1.5-hour hike to the Humantay Lagoon, which is nestled in the Andes more than 4200 meters (13,800 feet) above sea level!

During the entire journey through the Andes Mountains, we'll enjoy beautiful scenery and learn about the plants and wildlife native to this area. Once we reach the top of the mountain, you'll have free time to take pictures and truly take in the incredible surroundings.

We'll then make our way back to the campsite, where we'll enjoy a traditional lunch alongside the spectacular views.

We'll conclude the activity by returning to our meeting point.
