CUZCO | HUMANTAY LAGOON

Overview

Hidden between Andean mountains and over 4,200 meters of altitude is Humantay, a lagoon whose emerald hue reflects the purest natural beauty of the Andes. The Humantay body of water is directly fed by the melting of the Apu Salkantay, and its basin rests on a glacial bottom, which gives it a unique turquoise-emerald color contrast, quite particular in the Andes. Approximately 138 km from the city of Cusco, after 3.5 hours of motorized travel and two hours of walking, it’s possible to arrive at Humantay — an ideal destination for lovers of nature, landscaping, and adventure. Payment: 50% deposit to secure the reservation (via bank transfer, Western Union, PayPal, or major credit/debit cards), remaining 50% paid upon arrival. PayPal purchases include 180 days of purchase protection. Cancellation policy applies for further details. To make a reservation, personal information and the corresponding payment must be sent; the reservations department will then send a voucher or electronic receipt, which must be printed and presented at the beginning of the excursion. A minimum of one person is required. Prices are in dollars and are per person.
