Tour Details

The Humantay Lagoon is a place that impresses with its immensity, traces and colors in the landscape, which makes it one of the must-see tourist destinations in the bowels of Peru. Humantay Lake is a natural beauty tour in the Salkantay region of Cusco. It is believed that the lagoon preserves the sacred waters of the Apu Humantay that irrigate the fields in the area. The Humantay lagoon is highly respected by the inhabitants of the region due to its location and its great importance for its importance for the subsistence economy of the locals.

HUMANTAY LAGOON

The history of Laguna Humantay gives rise to an Andean legend, where 2 brothers named Salkantay and Ausangate. According to legend, both brothers decided to travel to unknown lands to get food and end the famine of their people.

Ausangate traveled to the south, where he found food and sent to Cusco, while Salkantay went north where he had a better destiny, he found food that he sent to Cusco and also love in the goddess Veronica. However, this romance did not have a happy ending since the 2 brothers had to return to the city of Cusco to stop the drought that hit their town and for that reason they became Nevados again.

The sadness and crying of the Apu Salkantay gave rise to the beautiful Laguna de Humantay with turquoise waters, surrounded by beautiful mountains and snow-capped peaks.

The Humantay Lagoon today is a famous natural wonder with crystal clear turquoise waters and a true mirror of water, where you can connect with nature and observe different beautiful landscapes enjoying the flora and fauna. Surrounded by imposing glaciers that are part of the Andes Mountains and will make you feel a sense of peace and tranquility thanks to its natural beauty that you will witness.

Excellent tour. It is a trail of approximately 2.5 km in 1h45min. It requires a reasonable physical preparation, because the first part of the trail is in a flat area, but the second part is practically only uphill, beg me. More than those who do not have a lot of effort, there is no option for locals to find cavalos for the climb. If you come down, you can be ugly, because he is very much a part of me. A view of the lagoon is worth or physical effort and an excellent option for nature lovers.
