Discover Humantay Lake: A Stunning Day Tour
Explore Humantay Lake on a breathtaking one day tour. Located in the Andes mountains of Peru, this hidden gem sits at 4,200 meters (12,630 feet). The turquoise lake, surrounded by snow capped peaks and lush greenery, offers stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. It’s perfect for photographers, hikers, and nature lovers.
Humantay Lake vs. Rainbow Mountain: Both destinations have incredible scenery, but each offers a unique experience. Humantay Lake is at a lower altitude and is generally easier to hike than Rainbow Mountain. Rainbow Mountain’s higher altitude can be more challenging. You can rent a horse for the Humantay Lake hike if needed.
Important: Make sure you acclimate to the high altitude before starting the tour. For the best experience, book your tour with Cusco Peru Adventure, a local travel company in Cusco.
