Your professional guide will pick you up from your homestay, hostel or hotel in Cusco between 4:00 and 4:30 in the morning. After a 2-hour trip, you will arrive at Mollepata, where we will stop for breakfast and pick up water and snacks for the route.
After breakfast, you will travel 1 more hour to Soraypampa. Once you reach this high mountain plateau, you will be able to admire the beautiful Apu Salkantay (6,230 meters above sea level) and Humantay (5,250 meters above sea level) mountains. The route itself reaches an altitude of 4,200 meters.
After a short time preparing your backpack, you will begin the 2-hour walk to Lake Humantay. The path to Lake Humantay is steep, but your group is small and your guide will let you take your time to enjoy the hike.
Enjoy the views of Lake Humantay and enjoy an optional short climb above the lake to the right or left from where you can enjoy a panoramic view.
Next, the easy part of your hike awaits you. Descend to Soraypampa for another hour. You will then take your private transport back to Mollepata, where a local lunch will be waiting for you.
Once you finish your buffet lunch, you will return to Cusco arriving between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at the delivery point near the Plaza de Armas.
