This is a lesser-known destination in Cusco, but it does not mean that it’s not as wonderful as any of the other great attractions. Here we will tell the reader about the Humantay lagoon, one more top destination and adventure in Peru.

The Humantay Lagoon in Cusco

One day tour in Humantay Lagoon will take you to the turquoise lake

The beautiful Humantay Lagoon hidden in Andean mountains

It is located at an altitude of 4.250 meters above sea level, among the priceless Andean landscape of huge mountains, rivers, lakes, alpacas, llamas, condors, everything in the middle of white clouds passing by your side, not above anymore. The Humantay lagoon has beautiful, painting-like turquoise waters which wonderfully mirror the surrounding nature, particularly the massive Humantay snow-capped.

You will really enjoy a mesmerizing view of the entire scene, a natural spot that will take you away from all the electronics, technology and daily worries of urban life; also, the Andean highlands have a really clean environment, healthy air and trails that will be a great opportunity for exercising. Plus, experience the strong energy flow of these heights, no weaker or even stronger than in Machu Picchu.

The Humantay lagoon tour will surely get you really well exercised physically and also deeply mentally relaxed and clear.
