Begin your Humantay Lake full-day trek from Cusco with pickup from your hotel, hostel, or homestay between 4:00 and 4:30 AM. After a scenic 2-hour drive, stop in Mollepata for breakfast, then continue to Soraypampa, the starting point of your hike. Admire spectacular views of Apu Salkantay and Humantay Mountain before beginning the approximately 2-hour uphill trek to Humantay Lake. The trail is steep in sections, but your guide will set a comfortable pace with time to rest and enjoy the Andean scenery. Reach the stunning turquoise Humantay Lake, surrounded by dramatic peaks. Enjoy time for photos and, if conditions allow, take a short optional climb for a panoramic viewpoint. Hike back to Soraypampa for your van to Mollepata, where a local buffet lunch awaits. After lunch, return to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 PM.
