  • After a brief rest, we start the 7 km (round trip) hike to the famous lagoon, enjoying breathtaking views of the majestic Nevado Humantay (4,200 m.a.s.l.) along the way. We reach the enchanting Laguna Humantay in about one and a half to two hours, depending on our hiking pace.

  • We will also see the well-known Nevado Salkantay in the background of the valley, both on the way to and from the lagoon.
